shanietis @ 22:15: Ģeopolitika
Laiks skrien kā cūka pa grāvi, miroņlīnijas pāri galvai, pat pasalt un pavaimanāt kārtīgi nesanāk. Toties Augstākie spēki nesnauž un apgādā ar krāsainiem sapnīšiem, kuri šķiet ir pieskaņoti kalendāram un ģeopolitiskajai situācijai. Maskavā esmu bijis tikai dažas reizes, pie tam ļoti sen, bet sapnī redzēt sevi tankā vālējot pa Maskavas ielām bija sirreāli. Dīvainā kārtā aizkratījamies līdz Sarkanajam laukumam. Ko nu? Domas dalījās. Vispirms uzmirdzināt vienu pa mūmiju mauzolejā vai uzreiz bliezt pa kremli? Kremļa delverīgajiem iemītniekiem par laimi nakts seanss ar to arī beidzās. Skatu, ka no turienes skrien ārā ar paceltām rokām saucot "Ņestreļaiķe, Putin kaput", nesagaidīju. Nevar tikai saprast, no kurienes tādas domas naktī pa galvu jaucās. No tās BBC filmas, Ušakova apsveikuma vatesdienā vai no Klensija(Tom Clancy) svaigākajiem gabaliem. "Command Authority"(2013) diezgan precīzi apraksta Krimas okupāciju. Tiesa grāmatā Krievijas prezidents Vladimirs Volodins vispirms sarīkoja NATO 5. panta testu Igaunijā un pēc tam pievēršas Ukrainai. Svaigākajā darbā "Commander in Chief", kas iznāca nupat, 2015. gada decembrī, arī darbība notiek Baltijā: krievi uzsper gaisā Būtiņģes gāzes termināli, izsmalcinātas provokācijas, serbu algotņi, versijas kur un kā Vladimirs savu naudiņu rietumus glabā un arī zaļie cilvēciņi un iebrukums. Pēdējo darbu gan ir sarakstījis Klensija kolēģis un atliek tikai cerēt, ka viņš tik pravietisks kā pats Klensijs nebūs.

Paraugam no Tom Clancy "Command Authority"
Igaunijas fragments:

There had been talk of an invasion for weeks, and then, days earlier, a bomb exploded over the border in Russia, killing eighteen civilians. On the television the Russians blamed the Estonian Internal Security Service, a preposterous claim given credence by Russia’s slick and state-sponsored media. They showed their manufactured proof and then the Russian president said he had no choice but to order a security operation into Estonia to protect the Russian people.

This was not supposed to happen here. This was Estonia, after all, and Estonia was a NATO member state. The politicians in Tallinn had promised their people that Russia would never attack them now that they had joined the alliance. But so far, NATO was a no-show in this war. The Russian ground invasion was led by T-90s—fully modernized fifty-ton tanks with a 125-millimeter main gun ...

But behind the tanks and the soldiers in the armored personnel carriers, just minutes behind them, in fact, a force of irregulars came in pickup trucks, and they were now systematically burning and pillaging the town.

Par Krimu:
Yep. You probably know those Russian nationals only got their citizenship because Moscow handed out passports to Ukrainians of Russian heritage. It was an FSB op all the way, setting the stage for the invasion. They called it ‘passportization.’ The Russians began offering passports to civilians in the Crimea with Russian heritage. They are creating a land of Russians in Ukraine, and then they will say, ‘We have to come in to protect our citizens.’
