Кому нужна Украина?
Aug. 27th, 2014 08:44 amВ печать просочились сведения о тайных переговорах неофициальных представителей России и США о судьбе Украины в Финляндии. В то, что такие переговоры имели место, признался агенству AP министр иностранных дел Финляндии. Текст "плана из 24 пунктов" был опубликован одновременно (и с сылками друг на друга) в Коммерсанте и The Atlantic.
Глава американской делегации Том Грэм из Kissinger Associates (бывший специальный помощник президента США по делам России) разъясняет свою позицию в статье с говорящим названием Who Cares About Ukraine? Vladimir Putin does. And let’s be honest: The West really doesn’t.
This balance of interests, resources, and sacrifice means that the West and Kyiv will have to accommodate Russia to some extent, especially on the question of Ukraine’s geopolitical orientation and Russian influence in Eastern Ukraine, to resolve the crisis. Many in the West will oppose any accommodation as a reward for Russia’s aggression. But it is the reality both the West and Kyiv face, given the Ukrainian government’s resources and the West’s low tolerance for sacrifice.
Подобную идеологию "неореализма" развивает также профессор Джон Миршаймер, автор пропутинской статьи Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The Liberal Delusions That Provoked Putin.
The United States and its European allies now face a choice on Ukraine. They can continue their current policy, which will exacerbate hostilities with Russia and devastate Ukraine in the process -- a scenario in which everyone would come out a loser. Or they can switch gears and work to create a prosperous but neutral Ukraine, one that does not threaten Russia and allows the West to repair its relations with Moscow. With that approach, all sides would win.
И хотя они в чем-то правы, трудно не провести аналогию с "Who Cares About Czechoslovakia? Adolf Hitler does. And let’s be honest: The West really doesn’t."
Журнал Time в 1938 г. назвал Гитлера "человеком года". Сталину не пришлось долго ждать, он был назван "человеком года" в 1939 г.

UPDATE: Открытое письмо протеста
We the undersigned firmly reject the “24-step plan to resolve the Ukraine crisis” published on August 26 by The Atlantic in the United States and Kommersant in Russia. This ill-conceived plan emerged from a Track II initiative involving Russian and American participants who met recently on the Finnish island of Boistö, and was supported by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) in Moscow.
