“War is, of course, possible, because we cannot evaluate the Russian President Vladimir Putin in rational categories. I have sometimes made a mistake by evaluating him too rationally, that he will not do it, it is not beneficial for him,” said international relations expert Andis Kudors in an interview with political scientist Filip Rajevski “nra.lv TV conversations”.
“Well, what if it’s not profitable? The Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky said that a person does not always do what is profitable for him. But if we judge by power, then when Russia had a long front line in Ukraine, it was unable to maintain it. They ran away, the Ukrainians pushed, and they left what they could pull. And where is the Finnish border, where is the Baltic? They have no power!” said A. Kudor.
According to him, the question is, does Putin no longer want a normal life? He has children – official and unofficial, A. Kudor emphasized.
What is in our favor in this situation? The fact that the Germans are worried that war is about to start. We need it, without it they wouldn’t move or do anything. Those who have been mixed up and kept in pacifism for decades, the Americans have kept them like the Japanese, there are also 50,000 US troops in Japan. It is important for us that the Germans, standing on the side of justice, feel that they can help the good by force, so that their complexes about the Second World War change and disappear, according to international relations expert A. Kudor.
