Russia, Calderoli (Lega): “The Americans and Europeans do not have the strength to bring down Putin from the outside, if not by risking a third world war”
“Today is a symbolic date for the Russiabecause on February 27 105 years ago the February Revolution broke out, the prologue to the subsequent October Revolution which led to the tragic deposition of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the end of the dynasty of Romanov. And now 105 years later I hope that Russian citizens will be able to start a new revolution to depose Tsar Putin, encouraged and supported by the West “. Roberto Calderoli, historical exponent of the League, vice-president of the Senate, rarely intervenes on matters of international politics. He does it this time, with an interview with Affaritaliani.itto indicate a peaceful possible Road map to arrive at a turning point in the war wanted by Russia.
“I make two premises. The first is that I am not an expert in international politics, but it seems clear to me that the West, that is the Americans and Europeans, do not have the strength to bring down Putin from the outside, if not at the risk of a third world war, so it can only be dropped from the inside. Precisely with a revolution “.
The West has decided on very tough sanctions …
“But from what I see, the economic sanctions that they would like to impose on Russia, of whatever magnitude they are, including exclusion from the SWIFT system, risk doing limited material damage to Tsar Putin, his apparatus and the Russian nation in general. These economic sanctions will do little or nothing to Putin and indeed risk turning into an economic boomerang for Europe, due to the lack of gas supplies from Russia ”.
They will be very strict penalties …
“I don’t doubt it, but since 2014 Moscow has created its own self-sufficient economy, which is independent of the West, and can always count on the side of Beijing’s allies. Let us not forget, even if it is passed over in silence, that three weeks ago the Chinese leader Xi Jin Ping invited Putin as guest of honor at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, politically boycotted by the US, and on that occasion the Chinese government has signed a series of agreements with the Russian one for huge quantities of gas that Russia will supply to China. In the face of this agreement, speaking of Western sanctions seems to me to be very little … This is why I say that another way is needed to stop Putin ”.
You spoke earlier about two premises …
“The other is that the right no longer exists with regard to Russia. Let me explain: diplomacy has failed, now we need a test of strength, not military, not with weapons, but with other peaceful but penetrating tools, even painful, albeit bloodless. We are facing a very serious violation by Putin’s Russia of every rule of international law, we are facing a suspension of the law by Moscow, so at this point the international rules that we have given ourselves since 1945 no longer apply. for Russia. They can no longer be valid. And in the face of extreme evils, the remedies must also be extreme “.
What remedies does it refer to?
“I repeat, the West has shown in all these years that it does not have the strength to bring Putin down from the outside. We are not talking about a Gaddafi or a Saddam here, just to be clear. The only way to bring Putin down is to take him down from the inside, with a new October revolution, a new red October like that of 1917, only this time it has to happen in the spring. We know that there is widespread internal dissent in Russia, silenced with repression, arrests and censorship: only yesterday I read about 2700 arrests in Moscow. Here we must widen that dissent, strengthen it, make it explode. And to do this we must leverage the Russian citizens, the people ”.
And how can this be done?
“For example, to start waking up the Russian people, a banking and monetary lockout is needed for every Russian citizen and company. We block the exchange of the ruble, we block any payment in rubles, we transform the ruble into a currency that is not accepted at least at the Western level, let’s make it become waste paper. And again, we block all current accounts of Russian citizens and Russian companies in Western banks, we block and seize them, in a word, we freeze them until necessary ”.
In a word, let’s take the ‘wallet’ away from all Russians …
“Exactly, but not only that. Then we block all visas of Russian citizens for Western countries, but all of them, all of us, we prevent any Russian citizen from entering our states and immediately expel every Russian citizen from our states and here too I mean everyone, absolutely everyone, including the champions of sport, football, basketball, the characters of the show, the actors, the entrepreneurs, the tycoons, everyone. Nobody excluded. With the exception of those who publicly condemn Putin and distance themselves from him, setting an example for those at home. If they started making them actors, musicians, footballers… instead they are all silent. Therefore, those who dissociate themselves remain in the West, those who remain silent and consent return to Russia and leave all their possessions here ”.
Really?
“That’s right, we seize all their assets in our states, starting with the properties they own in our territories, starting with the villas on the Costa Smeralda or in other rivieras or the penthouses in the center of Milan. We sequester everything, we freeze everything “.
Basically he wants to make Russian citizens illegal and poor …
“I want to see if we invalidate their passports, their residence permits, their visas, if we invalidate their currency, if we seize all their bank accounts, if you take away the possibility of traveling abroad, investing, working, in short, if we make them all clandestine and poor, I want to see if at that point the internal dissent of Russian citizens will not be amplified, also favored by the stance of billionaires or famous people. I want to see if at that point there will not be a new red revolution, a new October revolution but this time in spring ”.
That said it can work …
“And I add: we are opening humanitarian corridors not only for Ukrainian citizens, but also for Russian citizens who no longer want to be in Putin’s Russia”.
