Russia has entered into a new war. At this time in Syria. While her participation is limited bombing from the air and missile strikes from ships. Strokes are mainly applied by the opposition parties did not subordinate the Islamic state (IG). Military intervention is to support the Assad dictatorship Bamar in its struggle against its own people.
Once again, Vladimir Putin seeks to raise its rating at the expense of another war. They say that Russia is not inferior to the NATO bombing, and may also support other countries and thus their foreign allies.
There is no doubt that the rating will be raised. Zombie population established in the country, more than anything else. It is obvious that the majority of Russians support the bombing of Syrian cities, when they show the beautiful stories of the destruction of the terrorists. What really killed mostly in anything innocent civilians, women and children, of course they will not show. Putin used to have to sacrifice the civilian population. Recall Chechnya, Nord-Ost, Beslan, Donbass. If he does not regret the Russians, why he would feel sorry for the Syrians.
Obviously, this participation in the Syrian conflict will have negative consequences for Russia. International Islamic organizations, are activated against Russia. Countries that support the Syrian opposition is not in the IGR, impose new sanctions. In the case of highly probable defeat of Bashar al-Assad, Russia’s image in the region will fall to zero.In general, Putin has created yet another long-term problem that he can not solve.Why can not? Just because it had never worked. He knows how to create a problem, but not solve them.
Is it possible to name an allowed Chechen conflict? The enormous destruction and thousands of victims of a frozen at the time of issue. The relative calm was maintained constant subsidies from the federal budget. Once they stop, there will be an explosion.Likewise is the situation in Russia is actually controlled by Abkhazia and South Ossetia.And then there is Ukraine, which for many years to preserve the memory of the wounds and humiliations inflicted by Russia. No one today knows how to solve the problems of Crimea and Donbas. One thing is clear, to buy the loyalty of Moscow will be more difficult with the development of the economic crisis.
In Syria, everything is just beginning. It is obvious that the bombing is not much help to restore order in the country. But precisely it can be argued that the increased pressure on Russia from the democratic countries, both political and economic. And it continued capital outflows and falling investment.
By the way about the economy. Here, too, Putin is nothing to brag about. Declared stability turned into a significant drop in the GDP, which is expected to be deep and prolonged. The main problem of the Russian economy is a total dependence on world prices for hydrocarbons. Under Putin, the problem has only increased. Instead of creating a favorable investment climate and comprehensive support for entrepreneurs investing in high technology, Putin’s regime acted in the opposite direction. As a result, Russia created an environment completely exclude serious investment projects. This we experienced on personal experience.
I do not know any Russian problem that would be solved under Putin. A list of the problems created by him, is quite long. History knows not a few examples of these, creating the problem of “leaders.” Most of the Communist leaders were. I would say that any dictatorship causes problems, but does not solve them. Dictatorships are born, offering people a simple and quick recipes resolution of any problems. But as a result, not only do not solve them, but also give rise to new, much larger problem. It seems that Vladimir Putin in this category rulers.
