Strong Russia – United Zimbabwe!
The tactic reason of the Russian position – “gentle chiding without punishing” – towards Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe is unlikely to be related to apprehension that starting with the Zimbabwean model of “will expression” the West might go at the Kremlin with its “sovereign democracy”. The major motive for our veto in the UN Security Council, put on the US-British proposal of resolution about sanctions to be imposed on Zimbabwe, where non-alternative Presidential elections were held – that motive was “an eye for an eye” principle. Washington ignores Moscow protesting against anti-missile defense system in Europe, while London insists on accusing Moscow of having organized the Litvinenko’s murder. In revenge, Moscow has demonstrated it also may do something. The message was got.
