Volunteer from the US Yuri Yankovsky in an interview with the Observer said that, in his opinion, put an end to the aggressiveness of the Russian state.

"The destruction of the imperial mentality in Russia. No other way.

The main problem of Russia is that, in fact, it still remains an empire. After the First World War - the only empire in the world. Although she herself does not recognize this.

The Russian Empire, like the British Empire, began to grow somewhere from the sixteenth century. The growth schedule for both was exponential - soaring upwards. They were both huge.

But at some point the United Kingdom returned to its normal initial state and became a civilized state with a majestic history and a significant contribution to the development of world civilization. And as Russia began to grow in lands from Ryazan, Tver, Moscow - and can not stop.

Russia has nothing but the idea of ??expanding the territories.

The constant desire to seize new territories, do nothing, but only expand - this is what prevents Russia from becoming a normal civilized country. What prevents us from living, to Europe, to the whole world.

Russia has always been led to disintegration, first of all, by some internal processes, and not by external influence.

In the current environment, the role of the catalyst can be played by the collapse of the economy. And he is inevitable. Russia will be isolated. This isolation is already gradually taking place.

On the other hand, when the curtain of false propaganda falls, people will understand that Russia's prosperity was not connected with "Putin's genius". Moreover, all this prosperity is only propaganda.

The only thing that was in fact is a happy period for Russia, when oil prices were really sky-high. And this money, which fell literally from the sky, could be used for the real development of Russia.

Instead, they were sent down to arms, to the realization of false imperial ideas and to personal enrichment of the ruling elite.

Maybe, at least this awareness will give Russians to understand that something needs to be changed.

Considering that we live in a world where events occur with increasing speed, I think that Russians will understand all this.

Here, see. There was such a "cool dude" named Saddam Hussein, who captured Kuwait. Arranged his "Kuwait is ours!". The Americans quickly put him in his place. As a result of Operation Desert Storm, Saddam's army was defeated.

But the Iraqis, unfortunately, took another 10 years to understand: the problem of their country is in Saddam. When they realized this, they eliminated him from power. And three years later he was caught and killed, and Iraq began to rebuild. Unfortunately, it is late, and unfortunately, with huge losses among the civilian population.

This is a very cool example for Russians. They must understand:

the Iraqis had a chance back in 1990, after the "Desert Storm", to quickly drop the Saddam idiot and start building a new country. Normal. Without war.

Instead, they lost not only 10-15 years, but also opportunities. Because during this time Iraq has sunk into a real war. And the country is now in a terrible state.

So are the Russians. The sooner they demolish Putin's regime and the sooner they give up imperial policy, the sooner their country will recover, "concluded Jankowski.
