On these days, a new military doctrine was adopted in Russia which
enables the Russian armed forces to invade the territory of other
countries as well as gives Russia the right to a preventive nuclear
blow. Russia, as before, considers its enemy number one the NATO and
thinks that the U.S. and NATO threaten its security.
And yesterday in Munich, addressing the international security
conference, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that
Moscow supports the establishment of a new legally binding treaty on
security. He criticized the OSCE, and noted that "over the past 20
years, European security is seriously shattered by all parameters".
The head of Russia's foreign office characterized the current situation
as "atrophy of the OSCE".
The main complaint was that the organization cannot realize the
principle of indivisibility of security, on which the security of
a member of the OSCE cannot be done at the expense of security of
another member countries of the organization. As an example of the
fact that the system does not work, Lavrov cited the example of the
bombing of Yugoslavia and the events in the Caucasus in August 2008.
Interestingly, the president of Russia Medvedev a couple of days
before this, during his meeting with the new Armenian ambassador noted
that it is necessary to pass from "confrontational politics, archaic
geopolitical apportionments to the formation of a new approach to deal
effectively with terrorism, food shortages, climate change". Earlier,
the institute a member of which is Medvedev, revealed a plan on
Russia's modernization which supposes for root reforms. This plan
has not yet been affirmed and the feeling is that Russia says: we
know what and how to do, but we will not do that for spite of the West.
The response to this divergence of word and deed was the decision of
the West to place missile defense systems in Romania and throughout
the Persian Gulf. NATO is already tired of claiming that it does not
perceive Russia as an enemy, but Moscow seems to be beneficial as a
potential enemy of NATO, and not the terrorism.
