"Russian Spring" came to the Crimea: war or peace.

May 22, 1949 James Forrestal, the first (by then former) Minister of Defense of the United States, while in a psychiatric hospital, committed suicide by jumping from the window. During the illness, according to popular story, he raved, repeating the words: "The Russians are coming".

March 16, 2014 a referendum in the Crimea on the status of an autonomous republic, whose citizens will express their opinion on whether the Crimea subject of the Russian Federation or remain part of Ukraine with broad powers. This will be a referendum for the citizens of Ukraine litmus test of the new government, which has already been set in terms of chess zugzwang, where any statement in Kiev only worsen his situation. It is clear that the new government of the victorious revolution fear the collapse of the country to pieces, some of which will go immediately under the protectorate of the EU, Russia and others. But why Ukraine should break up into its constituent parts, is distinguished by its ideological code, why can not live in peace and harmony? First of all, in its different mentality, the influence of Western countries and Russia, as well as with respect to the property. The main mistake of the new authorities of Kiev was the fact that they did not even try to change the status quo, in which the whole of Ukraine is divided into zones of influence of oligarchs. Removing from the political arena Yanukovych, who was the mouthpiece and the Executive power of the oligarchs, the victorious revolution did not even try to change the current situation in the economy, when the collapse of the country has led not only to Yanukovych and his thieving nukers, but also representatives of greedy capitalism. Leaving things as they are, the leaders of the Maidan betrayed "heavenly hundred" betrayed the Ukrainian people and trampled on the country's future. Therefore, separation of Crimea from Ukraine and its joining to Russia can only be welcomed.

That the state's foreign policy is often openly cynical and has long been known to everyone. However, it would be good to our President Barack Obama someone recalled the statement of the famous Italian philosopher and politician Niccolo Machiavelli, "one escaped trouble yourself in another; however, lies in the fact the wisdom to weighing all possible trouble, the lesser evil for the good of honor ".Araik Sargsyan, Academician, President of the Academy of Geopolitics, Honorary Consul of Macedonia in Armenia
