“It will be forever.” Erdogan reveals the price of Russia’s isolation

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the policy of Western countries to isolate Russia could have serious consequences for them.

“The price will be infinite. And Europe is paying this price more and more, and with it Poland, ”said“ Moscow. Kremlin. Putin on TV channel” “Russia 1”.

“Idea Fix”

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the desire to isolate Moscow has become a “fixed idea” for European politicians – “uncompromising and only costly.” The diplomat pointed out that it was ordinary Europeans who had to pay for the “strategic miscalculations” of politicians from their wallets.

According to him, the ideas that the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, instilled in EU countries “do not contain, as before, not the slightest hint of a strategic vision.” “They are only consolidating a long-lasting new division in Europe. No recipe is offered for solving accumulated problems. It is as if Russia or the European Union, as geographical and civilizational neighbors, could somehow move away from each other,” he said.

Zakharova also pointed out that “in most world capitals” they are not ready to follow the “EU Brussels”, which, according to her, returns the political situation to divided times “according to medieval logic”. “To use today’s terminology, we can say that the EU leadership, apparently infected with some kind of abnormal political virus, has decided to isolate itself from Russia,” the foreign ministry representative said.

“No Discomfort”

Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister, Andrei Belousov, also expressed confidence that attempts to isolate Russia the previous day had yielded no results, and most world leaders understood that they only exacerbated the crisis. According to him, he had “highly secret” contacts with delegations of “non-hostile” states at the borders of APEC.

“I can honestly say that at the vice-presidential level, I have not had meetings and speeches, except for general events that inevitably occur. They were quite secretive with other representatives of supposedly unfriendly countries, so I do not feel any discomfort in this part and I think there is an understanding that attempts to isolate Russia only lead to a deepening of the crisis. ” said.

Belousov also added that even in the speech of the US representatives, “There was no attack on Russia”.

“I’m looking for ways to compromise”

Turkish Sabah newspaper columnist Bercan Tutar believes that US attempts to isolate Russia are fraught with Washington’s own isolation. “No longer getting the proper support even from its allies, the United States is now forced to engage in dialogue with Russia (that is, negotiations between the Foreign Intelligence Service and CIA directors Sergei Naryshkin and Wilm Burns). – Gazeta .ru). As a result, the US is trying to isolate Russia from the international community if it insists on continuing the war. [на Украине]they may run the risk of their own global isolation,” he writes in today’s column.

The amount is sure that the “main aim” of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who launched a special operation on February 24, 2022, was not “military victory” or the seizure of territories, but “violation of the global hegemony of the Atlantic.” [США] and the status quo in the Euro-Atlantic”. “And he succeeded,” concludes the expert.

Tutar writes that the United States, “weak against Russia’s weapons stockpiles, manpower, and supersonic missiles”, has suffered “an economic and diplomatic defeat on a global scale”, among other things. According to him, the “economic war against Russia” eventually led to difficulties in Western countries, including food and electricity problems in Europe. As the observer wrote, Western politicians expect “deep anger” from the peoples of Europe, which could eventually lead to a change of power and worsening relations with Washington.

Tutar points out that Beijing, Delhi, Ankara, Brasilia and Riyadh also do not support Washington’s anti-Russian policy.

Former newspaper expert pointedExcept for Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea, he said “no one supports the war launched by the United States against Russia”. At the same time, Argentina, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, India, Indonesia, China and South Africa, which Tutar refers to as the “camps of the global South”, did not comply with any of the “conditions” made by the Anglo. -Saxons.”
