WASHINGTON - CITY OF SATIRISTS
Only not so impressive people would fail to notice changes in
Washington, when big problems occur, and details acquire a new
importance, such as, for example, the state of asphalt in the central
districts of Washington. Nevertheless, the paradigm of Washington
humor is not in remarks of ex-government officials on dislocation of
public toilets but in the fact that the problems of America are the
problems of the world, and the international community rather than
the Americans will need to resolve them.
There is nothing in the cultural life of Washington, and the National
Gallery is a banal exhibition, and even two paintings by Jackson
Pollock cannot add intrigue to this dull exposition. Everything is
more interesting outside Washington, at the riverhead of the Potomac
and the foothills of Appalachia.
In such non-presentable places take place the meetings of the
right Conservative American elite to discuss the plans of fight
against Barack Obama's regime hated by the American people. However,
the Washington humor does not give up, evidence to which was the
demonstrative dismissal of up to one million government officials that
was the winning trick of the left Liberal administration of President
Obama. They say the purpose was blackmail of opponents in and outside
of the Congress, i.e. the entire American society.
It seemed to be hard in such a comic situation to see the evaluations
and reactions to events in Armenia which is invisible from Washington.
In fact, things are not going well with regional policy but this is
only the point of view of "objective experts", whereas the experienced
Republicans, as well as most government administrators responsible
for the U.S. policy in the regions, think the political catastrophe
in Armenia on September 3 might be useful to activate the U.S. policy
on the South Caucasus.
The Russian topic is one of those few circumstances that brings
together the current administration with the Republicans. The Armenian
situation cannot be an important factor but it could act as a detonator
to reanimate and upgrade several forgotten scenarios in Eastern Europe.
No doubt there is an agreement between the United States, the EU
and NATO on strong pressure, or rather parrying of Russia's efforts
in the Eastern Partnership. The Armenian situation helped Americans
(not every one of them, of course) to identify the weaknesses in their
regional policy. In the American strategy the regions are prioritized,
and the main factor determining the role and importance of the South
Caucasus is its being part of the European space. In addition, the
perception of the South Caucasus stops being adequate, and it is time
to separate Georgia and Armenia into a separate region.
Russia's hopes and plans that continue to rely on reduced activity of
the United States in the Black Sea and Caucasian region are profanation
and attempts to rush into a hypothetical uncertainty in this indefinite
situation. The situation in Syria showed that after Russia's "victory"
in the region it is not there and will never be.
This happens when an uncertain and unprincipled elite is trying to
get into a sphere where their country has no interests and sufficient
political resources.
In fact, Armenia may even benefit from this situation in case its
government stops this meaningless and detrimental game and continues
attempts to integrate with the Euro-Atlantic space. In addition, it
would have been more effective to undertake new initiatives relating
to NATO. After all, the European Union is always only a means of
rapprochement with NATO, and the Atlantic establishment differs from
the EU team in terms of organization and role.
Apart from these, there is another circumstance - the opinion of
Armenia on its being a sovereign state cannot be accepted fully. Most
probably, there is a more substantial opinion. "If Russia considers
Armenia to be its vassal, the United States also considers it as
such." The United States cannot withdraw Armenia from this situation,
only the Armenians can do it, and the Americans could include one
interest of Armenia or another in their policy. The Americans will
have such activities in the regions where Ukraine is at stake.
However, Armenia is facing a crucial point when it may find itself
amid the confrontation between the United States and Turkey, not the
United States and Russia.
The Armenian Americans, from hopelessly smart ones to fools, are
devastated by the political catastrophe of September 3. However, wild
messages continue to come from the homeland regarding unification
of Karabakh with Russia. Despite all the documents establishing
the sovereignty of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the Hero of Artsakh,
forgetting about the victims and hardships of war and ignoring the
national dignity, announces that the Karabakh people have nothing
else to do but to lick the boots of Russians.
In addition, neither the president, nor parliament, and nobody and
NKR stirred a finger against this outrageous action. And this is
happening at the time of the greatest humiliation of the entire nation
(or almost the entire nation).
So, what is the meaning of the announced goal of independence of NKR?
And what is the meaning of recognition of NKR, and annual assistance
of the United States to the Karabakh Armenians? By the way, this opus
could be found on the monitors of Russian-speaking American experts.
Such banal meanness and betrayal acquire a specific international
character, especially that someone is interested in using it as
an argument.
No doubt devastation of September 3 is not finished. Anything should
be expected from the Armenians, and hardly anyone still has a wish
to utter anything about this den.
Hence, it is something outrageous in here, guys, but we could work
it out. There is only one thing to do - begin with a blank page.
