/ world today news/ According to Anatoly Aleksandrovich Wasserman, engineer, journalist, publicist, TV presenter, the third world war ended in 1991, which Russia lost with the collapse of the USSR and the capitulation of the socialist system. In fact, the writer of these lines was personally convinced of this back in 1992, during the first course with the officers of the former Warsaw Pact under NATO’s fraudulent initiative “Partnership for Peace”, in Oberammergau, Germany.
During a briefing by the commander of NATO’s armed forces in Europe at the time, General John Galvin, when asked by a Russian officer: “Why does the US want to have control over Russia’s nuclear briefcase when it does not threaten anyone, especially since the Warsaw Pact already doesn’t exist, and won’t NATO also be disbanded?”, self-confidently and cynically frankly stated: “You capitulated in the Cold War and we will treat you as a capitulated country. NATO will not dissolve and we remain in Europe because we have interests here”.
Bulgaria, as is known, in the third, as well as in the previous wars, was always on the side of the losers. According to the established international order, today those who capitulated before suffer as the first punishment of the victors in the third world war, the liquidation of the military-economic potential and the degradation of our armed forces. For Bulgaria, which before the capitulation was in eighth place in the world in terms of production and export of weapons and military equipment, the liquidation of the military-industrial complex took the form of wild and barbaric, malicious, incompetent and anti-state privatization, and the dismantling of our Armed Forces began with the cutting of the rockets, sale and destruction of the combat equipment and continued in endless 25-year “reforms” (the expression is the former Minister of Defense from 1991, Dimitar Ludjev). And then one of the best armies in the Balkans was reduced to sizes even smaller than those imposed on us by the humiliating Treaty of Neuilly after the First World War. The person Luzhev, who became infamous in the army with the expression: “I will buy the young officers, and I will fire the seniors”, started the liquidation of the personnel of our army according to previously launched schemes by the winners of the “cold war”. Unfortunately, in these criminal and anti-national efforts, he and those after him were supported by a large number of senior and senior officers who, threatened with dismissal and deluded that with their betrayal of the Motherland and the class, they could to save their own skins, they “reformed” the army by firing the most prepared and devoted officers until it was their turn. During this disastrous period for the Bulgarian army, we witnessed disgusting metamorphoses, when generals who graduated from military academies in the USSR, instead of decently releasing reports about their discharge from the army, whined that they were dismissed despite “devotedly carrying out the reforms” (you know, the destruction of the army ), and the political workers who graduated from the elite Lviv Military-Political School before the capitulation became the first Atlanticists and NATO members. All of them, without remorse, carried out the command from across the ocean – to liquidate the most prepared and most modern armed army in the Balkans, because the victors were afraid of it.
One cannot forget the unpleasant surprise, astonishment and envy in the eyes of the American military experts when they inspected our modern factories of the military defense industry and the modern weapons and combat equipment that the Bulgarian army had at its disposal. This only increased their destructive energy.
But enough of the story. All this is already past. Our military industry was dismantled, and the Bulgarian army was liquidated, as it was intended! After the decree and its reorganization by the socialist president Georgi Parvanov from conscript to mercenary, it actually became a Bulgarian expeditionary corps of the USA and NATO! This is what the masters across the ocean wanted, because for them the eternal enemy is Russia, and its former most faithful ally Bulgaria, which the USA still does not trust, cannot have a conscript army given that about 80% of the Bulgarian people are Russophiles.
Now the victors of the third world war are tightening against the risen Russia from the ruins of the fourth, and they are in desperate need of cannon fodder, which they intend to procure from Russia’s former allies – from the socialist system that capitulated in 1991, not without the help of the perestroikas – as well as from the former republics of the USSR, in which the USA organized color revolutions, and this is now an open secret.
The US puppet regimes of Eastern Europe are recklessly preparing their countries and peoples for the coming global carnage. Now, however, according to Russian political analyst Anatoly Wasserman, there are all the prerequisites in the fourth world war for Russia, together with China, to take revenge. What these prerequisites are, we very comprehensively analyzed in no. 21 of the “Nova Zora” magazine in the article “Cruel reality”, which is why we will not dwell on them again. However, our current rulers do not read, do not think and do not take into account these prerequisites and, possessed by the general madness called Atlantic solidarity, which has covered the rest of the Eastern European members of the alliance, and above all to please the USA, are in a hurry to arrange our country again in the coalition of the new losers. They gave our territory free of charge for bases and command posts to the USA and NATO and for the deployment of their expeditionary forces with a special purpose and, despite the catastrophic state of the national economy and finances, they are forcing the rearmament of the army according to NATO standards.
We should pay more attention to the question of the meaning of rearming the army, on which the National Assembly has already decided to provide BGN 2.4 billion for this purpose, not only because it is topical, but above all because it is vital important to our national security, of course, insofar as it serves it. In fact, there is no doubt that our army needs to modernize its weapons and combat equipment. According to the former defense minister from the BSP cabinet, “This is a belated decision. So late that, together with other rearmament and modernization projects, it will cost us, if not a colossal, then at least a respectable sum of over 5 billion BGN”. This was stated by Angel Naydenov. He is right, but he is also to blame for this delay, and the main thing is not that this large sum hides risks of corruption, as the BSP claims, because capitalism and corruption are inseparable, but that rearmament and modernization are taking place under external pressure, which hides the danger of serving foreign interests.
The late decision that Mr. Naydenov spoke of tempts us to ask the logical question: why, since Bulgaria has been a member of NATO since 2004, and the question of the need for modernization and rearmament of the Air Force and Navy has been constantly raised since 1994. here before the rulers in Bulgaria, is finding a solution only now, and who but us is interested in this?
We have not forgotten that in April, during his visit to Bulgaria, the Deputy Head of NATO, Alexander Vershbow, as he himself admitted, strongly asked our rulers to allocate the necessary financial resources for the modernization and rearmament of the army and specifically the Air Force and the Navy with the aim of “increasing the alliance’s military capabilities in the Black Sea region”. It is specifically about the purchase of 2 battleships and 8 fighter jets. In the MoD’s official reasons for purchasing this combat equipment, it is said that it is important for our national security and for the collective defense of NATO and the EU. However, if we logically connect the above circumstances, it seems that at this stage it is more important for NATO.
What gives us reason for these doubts?
First of all, it is striking that in the propaganda headquarters of the USA and NATO they are abandoning the shallow-minded arguments for their expansion in the East, such as the supposed missile threat from Iran and the war against ISIS, and are now quite officially defining this expansion with a new paranoid and equally absurd thesis about the “Russian military threat and aggressiveness” towards the new members of the alliance from the former Soviet republics and socialist countries.
Recently, the first deputy chairman of the Committee on the Federation Council on Defense and Security in the US Congress, Franz Klintsevich, loudly announced the existence of an American plan for a global attack against Russia, codenamed “Prompt Global Strike” (“Prompt Global Strike”). . According to the senator, for the realization of this plan, the USA and NATO are actively replenishing their military bases in Eastern Europe with personnel and combat equipment. According to Mr. Klintsevich, the number of NATO troops in these countries has increased up to 20 times! In accordance with the “rapid global strike” plan, in the event of a threat of an attack on the United States or the military facilities of other NATO countries, the US military should be in a state of readiness within 60 minutes, with massive, powerful and highly accurate strikes from the US missile defense (NMD) now being established in Europe, to launch a massive missile attack on military and civilian targets in Russia. And after implementing this attack, American strategy involved quickly occupying enemy territory with large ground forces. The closer to Russia’s borders this ground group waits for the “X hour”, the more effective the “global strike” will be. Preparations for the implementation of the Rapid Global Strike plan are already underway.
From June 6, NATO, from the territory of Poland, began a ten-day military exercise “Anaconda-2016”.
After 1989, these are the biggest maneuvers in this country. 31 thousand soldiers from 24 countries participate in them. 3000 (!) units of military equipment (tanks, armored personnel carriers), more than 100 planes and helicopters, 12 ships are included in the exercises.
In parallel with “Anaconda” exercises “Saber Strike” are planned. They are aimed at working out practices for pre-deployment and movement of troops and military equipment from Germany and Poland to the Baltic countries, Romania and Bulgaria.
There are also dangerous movements in the areas of responsibility of the alliance in Eastern Europe and to the borders of Russia. It is almost certain from the practice so far that those who planned another insane undertaking “Rapid Global Strike” forgot the lessons of history and did not make an accurate calculation of how a country like Russia with a powerful missile-nuclear potential, modern and highly prepared armed forces whose territory is equal to two USA, four EU, 48 Germany and 128 England. We have not made accurate calculations of how many Bulgarias… We leave them to the calculations of the politicians who will make a decision, and the military calculations of the commanders of our armed forces who will implement their decisions. However, those who make a decision should be aware that the army is created, trained and educated to serve the defense of the country. This means that the government should follow a peaceful policy and have no intention of attacking other countries. The clearly demonstrated interest and insistence on the part of the NATO leadership for the modernization and rearmament of our army, which Bulgaria undoubtedly needs to guarantee its national security, however, suggests that it can be used to achieve foreign geopolitical goals and adventures. How and in whose interest our armed forces will be used is a question that should be decided on a proposal by the rulers and the president with the sanction of the parliament.
Bearing in mind the pro-Atlantic orientation of the current ruling Ukrainian and parliamentary majority, as well as the servility of our commander-in-chief to the Transoceanic masters, it is clear in advance whose interest the armed forces of Bulgaria will be used to protect.
