Federal government, EU and NATO: They all want to increase the pressure on Vladimir Putin. But the chances are slim. Therefore, one expert considers the ads to be “hypocritical.”
- The case of the poisoned Kremlin critic Alexej Navalny * is causing outrage in many countries.
- The federal government and the EU are also considering harsh reactions. But how can you deal with Vladimir Putin?
- Experts make a grim prognosis. In view of this, Angela Merkel’s actions are sometimes described as “hypocritical”.
Berlin / Moscow – Ob Alexey Navalny * or Jegor schukow – or before Viktor skripal and the Pjotr Wersilow, Pussy-Riot activist: Oppositionists live in Vladimir Putin’s Russia surprisingly dangerous *. This is outrageous for some European states: the call for consequences for the Putin government is clearly audible these days.
Other operations too alleged perpetration of Russia Enraging the West: be it the Tiergarten assassination in Berlin, a hacker attack on the Bundestag, the downing of the MH17 machine, the annexation of Crimea, the dispute over possible electoral interference in the United States. From the point of view of some observers, the measure is complete. But there is a very practical problem: how can you Germany and die eu react at all? The answers are rare. And wherever they are, they are not very uplifting.
Navalny case: Expert clearly sees Putin’s guilt and describes Merkel’s reaction as “hypocritical”
Shortly after the Navalny case became known, the former Russia Federal Government Commissioner Gernot Erler (SPD), at Daily Topics states that the possibilities are – apart from Sharp diplomatic style expressions – limited. Especially when there is no solid evidence. And according to most experts, it’s not to be expected. You could call the Russian politicians Damage to the reputation of Russia point out, Erler explained. That shows “great effect.”
Friday was even bleaker Historian and Secret Service Expert Wolfgang Krieger at mug. Unlike some politicians on the left, he does not doubt that Putin is responsible for the crime. “I can’t imagine something like this could happen without your consent,” Krieger said in conversation. If that were not the case, it would mean that former KGB Putin “has lost control of the secret services.”
Swindler Declarations and demands of the West On the other hand, the expert believes that “Hypocrite”. At least to the extent that “you want to pretend to your own audience that the West or the federal government Opportunities to influence Russia ”. This is exactly what “complete nonsense” is: “Russia is a great power that not even Merkel can dictate what to do.” I’m worried Chancellor Angela Merkel * probably about them too Ostsee-Pipeline – and that the mood of the German population could change.
I sign every word of @n_roettgen. It is remarkable that such a clear advantage is shown from within the Union. After all, Merkel’s reluctance to make Putin great. But there is real hope that things will soon change significantly in terms of foreign policy. https://t.co/mkH7KW6uzj

Putin in the Navalny case: Russia in a “more comfortable position” than in 2014
She named another aspect world in an article also published on Friday. Because even in the case of sanctions, Putin has it in front of Foreign exchange reserves at record levels of $ 600 billion managed to obtain to arm itself financially against the West. “The government is in a more comfortable position, it is geopolitically less vulnerable,” analyst Chris Weafer told the newspaper.
Putin he had made the right bet with a restrictive debt policy and reallocation of Russian foreign exchange reserves into gold. Russia is therefore in a much more comfortable position than in 2014, when due to the annexation sanctions of Crimea it gave.
Navalny case: Putin “went a step too far”, but the basic problem remains
So what is left to do? According to the world above all there remains a lever: the Dissatisfaction of the Russian population. Because Western imports are due to the Putin’s economic policy considerations has been replaced by domestic products.
No short-term solution seems to be found here. Here’s how Krieger sees it: the most recent events are true also detrimental to Putin. “She has gone too far when it comes to her own interests. But that doesn’t change the fundamental problem. “(fn) *Merkur.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network.
