Former US Ambassador to Moscow: America does not have the right to read on the sovereignty of other lectures.

Jack Matlock said "ill-considered step" treatment of the United States to Russia with "warnings" about Ukraine.

The behavior of the US in the international arena denies the credibility of their references to the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity in relation to Ukraine. This was stated by one of the most respected American experts on post-Soviet states, the former US ambassador to Moscow Jack Matlock.

Continuing further.





"The Russians can not, without evidence to suggest that the US is interested in the territorial integrity only when it suits their interests - he recalled the diplomat on his personal blog. - Track record of US governments indicates that they ignore it when it suits them - as in the case when they are together with NATO allies violated the territorial integrity of Serbia, creating, and then recognized the independence of Kosovo. And besides - to support the separation of South Sudan from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia and East Timor from Indonesia ».

"As for the violation of the sovereignty - continues Matlock - Russia may indicate that the United States invaded Panama to arrest Noriega, invaded Grenada to prevent the hostage-taking of American citizens (even though no one hostage not spectacular), invaded Iraq under the made-up pretext that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that they inflict blows to the people with their drones in other countries, etc. etc. »

"In other words, lecturing on the observance of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the United States may be perceived as a claim to special rights, which are not recognized after another" - says veteran political analyst.

In general, he said, "ill-considered step," White House - not only politically, but also psychologically - an appeal to Russia with "warnings" about Ukraine. "Like any other country, Russia is extremely sensitive to foreign military activity on its borders" - says Matlock, recalling that former Republican US administration openly tried to drag Ukraine into NATO, against the wishes of the majority of Ukrainians, and the current Democratic administration of Barack Obama " it categorically excludes ».

About Ukraine itself Matlock writes that this "state, but not yet a nation", because "in 22 years of independence has not yet found a leader who could unite people around a common understanding of the Ukrainian identity."

The current "confusion in Ukraine is not due to the Russian intervention, and how this country was randomly collected from a number of not always compatible with each other often," - he said. According to him, "because of its history, geographical position and ... economic relations of Ukraine in any case can not be prosperous, robust and unified country without friendly (or at the small as not hostile) relations with Russia».
