It does not come as a surprise that America are leading the struggle against Russia for separating Ukraine from the former USSR (soviet union) in order to weaken Russia's dominion and undermine their influence. President Putin's remarks clearly attest to this fact when he said "Ukraine's crisis has been caused by the West" and not by the Ukrainians aspiration for an independent state. He went on to say that "Western countries had broken pledges not to expand Nato and forced countries to choose between them and Russia".
America cannot keep its choke hold on the Russians without the help of the Europeans because the majority of the gas and oil deals, as well as trade-expo agreements, are between Russia and Europe. It is clear that the Europeans are working in behest of American plans as Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, is due to brief President Obama in Washington on the progress of the 'peace' plan - although she herself has commented that she could not "imagine any situation in which improved equipment for the Ukrainian army leads to President Putin being so impressed that he believes he will lose militarily", while America is preparing to arm the Ukrainians showing that it is ultimately America's plan and not the Europeans.
John Kerry's reassuring comments to the media in regards to unity with the European leaders when he said "I keep hearing people trying to create one. We are united, we are working closely together." comes at a time when France's Hollande was considering lifting the sanctions off Russia to ease the detrimental effect it was having on France's economy, and now Merkel's disapproving opinion on arming the Ukrainians.
It is important to remember these remarks by President Putin as it clearly demonstrates that it is America, the superpower of the world that is dominating the globe and controlling nations to secure it's own interest. It also shows that some nations attempt to secure its own national interests and do not always play by the books of America, but often are put back into check through shrewd political manoeuvres by the West. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said Russia "will not sacrifice its national interest but is ready to engage constructively".
“It felt like orchestrated hate fest. Obviously these people live in a surreal world. The US try to change the balance of forces in eastern Europe and the EU join the band wagon,” Srdja Trifkovic, foreign affairs editor of the Chronicles magazine told RT, adding that “whenever a major power wants to change the status-quo, the result is a crisis.”
The Munich conference has been dominated by the Ukrainian crisis rather than the issue of ISIS. This is most likely due to the fact ISIS is a controlled, directed and manipulated scheme by the West and therefore does not require diplomacy whereas the Russian issue can give the Americans some headache, especially due to the fact the biggest supporter of Assad in Syria are the Russians, and without them the continuing escalation in the Middle East cannot continue. It is as if the Russians are using this pretext that they are helping the Americans in their plans in the Middle East but a little 'cheesed off' that they are being attacked at the same time in their own back yard and retaliating with a bit of resistance.
