ArmInfo. If the people of Armenia tolerate Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, and the Ukrainians tolerate President Volodymyr Zelensky, it is definitely not the fault of the leaders of the United States and Russia, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Political scientist Suren Surenyants wrote about this on his Facebook account.
According to him, revolutionary maniacs, as a rule, have distorted ideas about allied relations. As an example, the political scientist cited Pashinyan's statement of August 5, 2019, made in Stepanakert. "We are no longer interested in realistic plans. We are no longer interested in what can be achieved. We are interested in what everyone considers impossible to achieve, because the Armenian people are a people who achieve the impossible," the political scientist recalled the words of the Armenian prime minister, adding that everyone knows what disasters the author of these words brought to Armenia and the Armenian people with his illusions and adventurism.
Surenyants noted that Zelensky has also taken the same path of adventurism. "What we saw in the White House a few days ago is the best proof of this. Pashinyan and Zelensky are guided not by realpolitik, but by illusions. Often, very often, they do not even listen or understand what their allies, the "big" players, are telling them, because they are no longer interested in "realistic" programs. Pashinyan felt like "the guy" who rejected Serzh Sargsyan, and who would easily bring the authoritarian Aliyev to his knees and eclipse the glory of Tigran the Great," the political scientist noted.
He noted that Zelensky, in turn, believed that he could "throw down the gauntlet" to the leader of a nuclear state, relying on the support of another nuclear state. And this is the time when profound changes have been brewing in the West, and especially in the United States, in recent years, and it was almost obvious that the presidential elections in the United States would essentially end in a conservative revolution. Revolutionary fanatics, as a rule, have distorted ideas about allied relations, so Pashinyan blames Russia for his own failures, and Zelensky blames the United States. By the way, in Moscow, they explain to Pashinyan the consequences of his "combat illiteracy" in much more diplomatic language, but in Washington they decided to humiliate Zelensky to the last. Of course, I do not like these scenes of humiliation in international relations, but this is a consequence of the fact that Pashinyan and Zelensky are trying to blackmail their influential allies with statements like "we are no longer interested in realistic programs", without even having the theoretical possibility of having more serious allies. Ukraine has been turned into ruins, we have irrevocably lost Artsakh, leaving Armenia defenseless in the face of a hostile enemy," the political scientist concluded.
