RIA Novosti: The West replaces reality with the Russian Federation to build dialogueWhat is the difference between dialogue and negotiation? In dialogue, there is no desire for results: one interlocutor seeks to hear the other, to know his position. Another question: is dialogue possible during war? No, because you are not talking to the enemy – you are fighting with him. The collective West, when it refused dialogue with Russia, has once again confirmed that it is now at war with Moscow.It is necessary to build a dialogue with the Russian Federation, because without it peace in Europe is impossible. But the time for dialogue has not yet come. Now we have to focus on helping Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said the other day.The West refuses to admit that it is at war with Russia. He exposes the Russians as the aggressors and himself as the victim.The problem is that we often confuse dialogue with negotiation. It really makes no sense for Moscow to conduct negotiations now, but dialogue is a whole different matter.Dialogue is important and necessary for all parties to the conflict if they want to have an idea of the position of their enemy. In a situation of confrontation between Russia and the West, dialogue will not help to resolve the question of Ukraine’s membership, which will be decided in the heat of the moment, but the very fact that representatives of hostile parties being present at the same places and events tells us that they understand the gravity of the moment and desire to respect even the minimum rules of the relationship, the columnist said. RIA News Petr Akopov.According to him, this is what contributed to the fact that the Russian Federation and the United States have not yet severed diplomatic relations. Politicians understand that in the current situation it is necessary to maintain at least formal ties that demonstrate the absence of direct war.At the same time, the West is betting on the isolation of Russia, since our country has already been expelled from various international organizations. The Anglo-Saxons cannot expel us from the UN, but the clubs they created are more manageable, so our state is no longer there. In a number of cases, Russia itself decided to leave them. For example, Moscow withdrew from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. At the same time, our country will not independently leave the international structures created with its direct participation. In this case, the opponents act in a very primitive way: they do not issue visas to Russian delegates.There is also the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), from which Russia cannot be excluded. Next week, the regular session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held in Vienna on the occasion of the anniversary of the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, on 23 and 24 February. Austria suddenly took and issued visas to all Russian MPs, which clearly upset Washington and Brussels. True, the United States immediately rejected it, claiming that it was the business of the Austrian authorities.During this event, a dialogue can take place, but it is not necessary for that part of the Western elites who have bet on the defeat and collapse of Russia. Therefore, many demanded that Austria not let the Russian representatives in, but the Austrians still held their ground.These people, who are banishing Russia, do not want to contact her and have a dialogue. Instead of representatives of our country, they prefer to communicate with Khodorkovsky and Kasparov, as happens at the Munich Security Conference. They will even organize an event called “Rethinking Russia” to discuss with “good Russians” how to proceed with “de-Putinization” after our defeat.It seems that the Anglo-Saxons build a dialogue with Russia, but in fact they replace it with a monologue, passing it off as a conversation with the “good” Russians.Earlier, political scientist Daniel Depetris said that if the United States and NATO support Kiev’s offensive in Crimea, it could lead to a nuclear war with Russia.
