Three options in the muddy game (on the picture)... How can we crawl up from the muddy game and swamp land of sanctions before we all will sink? West can 1. Kill the sanctions or 2. Start a war - or 3. Kill Putin? I saw this picture of desperate players in a muddy swamp land trying not to sink, but play the ball. It got me puzzled, because I have my feet both in the West and in Russia. I am a Finnish citizen residing in Russia. I have earlier lived in several EU countries and I do like American people. Suddenly, I remembered G-20 summit in Australia when the Western leaders did character assassinate Putin and I recalled Kissingers recent statement. So, can West can get out from the muddy game and swamp land of sanctions only by 1. Killing the sanctions and starting to cooperate with Russia (Kissinger model) or 2. Starting a war with no winners - or 3. Shifting from character assassination to actually kill Putin? I prefer alternative 1. because the completely ineffective sanctions seem only to sink the whole Europe, and literally wipe away - like “the ocean tide can wipe the $-picture on the shore” (picture). This would mean a sudden end for the Petrodollar driven world - with the heavily indebted USA – and a global catastrophe, whether an economic or a military catastrophe. Even for the BRICS-countries, and especially for China and Eurasia, the alternative 1. is really the best, because a war has no winners. Why are most of the people in USA and EU against the sanctions, but their leaders are not ? Did the Western leaders have a last world theater dress rehearsal in G-20 in Brisbane? I recall how Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) were recently first character assassinated by West, and then actually assassinated. I recall also that sanctions have never solved any international dispute, but just escalated it. Putin was recently character assassinated by Western leaders in G-20 summit in Australia, once again, but now in a very harsh way. This hard unnecessary discrimination and bullying of the Russian President Putin made me to draw a simple conclusion. The leaders of the West have only three options left - to kill the sanctions, to start a war or to shift from just character assassination to really kill Putin. Despite all the sanctions, the support for Putin in Russia is now record-high, about 80-87 % approval rating. Sanctions seem just to make him more popular, both in Russia and the world. The Russian economy and GDP grew, according to the American Bloomberg, with at least 0,7 % during the first 9 months this year, despite the sanctions. Whether we like or not the former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger - and I am not in his fan club - I do fully support his recent model. Namely, Kissinger said that Obama has produced a mess in Ukraine and that introducing anti-Russian sanctions was a mistake. He also says that Ukraine should forget both about Crimea and NATO membership. “There are no universally accepted rules,” said Mr. Kissinger in an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel. “There is the Chinese view, the Islamic view, the Western view and, to some extent, the Russian view. And they really are not always compatible. We have to remember that Russia is an important part of the international system, and therefore useful in solving all sorts of other crises, for example in the agreement on nuclear proliferation with Iran or over Syria,” Mr. Kissinger said. “This has to have preference over a tactical escalation in a specific case.”
