Umm... read about his government first. He was the PM of Iran, DEMOCRATICALLY elected. His only crime was, he nationalized Iran's oil company from the crony hands of NATO due USA and UK.
.....Do you even know why I said the South Vietnam coup is a better example.....
Even tho he is democratically elected PM with his own government, Shah Iran is still Pro-US, technically that was not a coup, rather a political assassination of a politician, technically you cannot overthrow a Pro-US country and install another Pro-US government...
Being pro-Western and outrightly getting annexed are two different things. Technically even we are pro-Western in terms of development, education, infrastructure etc. So no harm in Ukraine wanting to use their model of economy.
But this was outright a forceful takeover colluding with treacherous elements inside Ukraine's opposition.
lol, you do know why Ukraine was pushed to the west? What you believe is how CIA stage the whole thing but unless Russia is also playing, no one, not even CIA can play the "Russian Aggression" card lol...
If the whole stunt is, as you said, from the Hand of a CIA, the Russian simply only need to do one thing to topple this coup, that's sit on their arse and do nothing. By showing they have no aggression, the "Rumour" would have diffused without the bomb even went off.
NATO doesn't control the ocean; it simply patrolled it. Controlling would be when they can dominate and harrass any country militarily and politically, using the ocean as their own backyard.
The Russian Navy doesn't let them.
You cannot control any ocean at sea, even if you have a huge armada of ships, what the War of 1864 and 1812 show you that, you control most of the port,
YOU WILL CONTROL THE SEA, It does not even matter how big or small the navy is, the battle of the sea is fought in land.
That's why the Dane, although enjoy Naval Superiority in Schleswig War, they still lose the sea control of the Denmark Strait. And that is why even the Royal Navy in 1812 is the strongest, but still got defeated in Lake Michigan by the tiny 3 Frigate US Navy..
As I said, you control the mouth of the black sea, you would control the black sea. And currently the NATO is in control of the mouth by controlling the Baltic and turkey
They knew that Russia would send in special forces to secure their assets and in the long term, eastern Ukraine which is Russian-oriented.
First of all, you make it the other way around, Ukraine is the Industrial hub for Russia, not the other way around
I was referring to a more contemporary condition than the times of USSR.
How can an economy of $337 billion PPP dominate an economy of US$ 2.12 trillion in today's times?
USSR is different from what it was.
Russia has changed in a lot of ways.
I did not say Ukraine "Dominate" Russian economy, the Russian Economy was dominated by Oil and Natural Gas export, something really NOT related to Ukraine, how much of those 2 trillions dollar economy is from Gas and Oil and how much of that 2 Trillions dollar is from Industrial production? I guess the current Oil price and economic crisis in Russia already told you the answer.
What I said was, Ukraine is the industrial hub of Russia, and while Russia dominate Ukrainian Gas and electricity and Oil supplied, they can be and WILL BE shifted somewhere, ask your neighbour the Pakistan and you will know, Once you got betrayed, you will never completely trust that person/country again. The case is the same in Ukraine, Russian had turned off the oil and gas supplies to Ukraine and deal a major blow to Ukrainian Live, now that if the gas is back on, but you seriously think the Ukraine will sit on their arse and do nothing until the next time Russian turn off their gas again ?? lol
Without a changing economy, Ukraine does not depend much on Russia, however, if not Ukraine, almost all the industrial output would be forced on Central Asian Country or Even China, that is the question Russian Leader have to ask is that the step they are willing to take??
Not now.. but instead of a war this could have been the arrangement.
What arrangement?? A war is started because Russian do not want to lose Ukraine, but by starting a war, they will lose whatever left forever, surely even if what you said was true, CIA intent to pull Ukraine closer to the West, but starting a War is Russian own doing, cause if it's CIA mind to start a war and Blame it on the Russian, then I can't say anything but a big success for the CIA.......lol
You can't have it both way, if you want to say this is started by the CIA, then you will also need to say the Russian is dumb enough to get played
