Eric Denese, a doctor of political science and former high-ranking French intelligence officer, has said that the United States’ policy towards Russia is “suicidal”
In his view, Ukrainians and Westerners are responsible for the current situation in Ukraine: it was they who allowed President Viktor Yanukovych, who had been democratically elected, to be overthrown by force.
“The West encouraged and supported the coup d’etat in Kiev, trampling the values and rules that it itself upholds around the world”, – Denese said.
The ex-intelligence officer also pointed out that after that Kiev started oppressing the Russian-speaking population in Donbass, which the US and Europe turned a blind eye to.
According to him, Russophobia has become a key way of existence for the USA and NATO, but this only continues to increase tensions in the world.
Denese stressed that it was Russia’s firm position that forced America and the North Atlantic Alliance to come to the negotiating table. Because the Americans realised that they would not come out victorious from the conflict.
Moreover, Washington is trying to push Europe away from Russia and to harm Russia’s economy. The ex-intelligence officer cited the situation with Nord Stream-2 as an example. He expressed his belief that the U.S. could not allow the Europeans to question the expediency of the White House’s actions.
“Everything suggests that the West, with its leader in the US, seems to be approaching geopolitical suicide”, – Denese summarised.
He believes that denial of historical and established geographical realities may turn against the West.
