Yes there are Nationalists extremists in Ukraine but is not the Ukrainian Nazzi’s that the Russian president is trying to get rid of in Ukraine. These Nazsi’s are just making dangerous locally but meaningless at nation level waves and if Ukraine wants to become a civilized country either in Eu or in Eur-Asian block , they will themselves drop this exuberant nostalgia of a horrible military aspiration. It is like a youngster that gets fancy piercing, goes to festivals for a couple of years, then he, himself takes that piercing off, puts some decent clothes on and gets out for a career instead of trying to express to impress.
Vladimir Putin’s main problem though is the financial colonialism in Ukraine, the Western grip that would enslave Ukraine and severe its ties with Russia just as it did with the rest of the Europe. President Putin has always followed this strategy witht the ones that made a lot of money from monopolized resources: he draws a line and clearly states “this is it, you made a lot of money in the detriment of the so poor and many, up until now, keep what you have, and from now on you either exploit the resource accordingly, either I will consider further measures”. He does not put them in the wrong yet and does not penalize or expose them as a first step.
He does this for 2 reasons: reason number one is that he believes that not acusing for the past wrong deeds, would make a reasonable person to reassess their own situation and would gracefully accept the new situation that they took advantage while no one “would see” yet now someone sees and does not agree with their wrong doings. If the oligarch in case does not accept the situation, then he knows that he will have to proceed to further penalizing measures. The second reason is that he wants to give these wrong people a chance to re-structure their future without pulling the rug from underneath their feet, he wants reasonable people and one has a chance to be reasonable if is not cornered.
President Putin knows that the western Financial Colonizers can not be stopped world wide (as yet). They were marginalized in Russia and China and these two countries assist as many other countries as possible to keep them at bay. But Vladimir Putin does not want to create unnecessary friction between him and them. He gives them time to regroup or to find other solutions or to realize they do not have a bright future, and some of the governments will not be as unguarded and prompt to be corrupted as previously. He does not want to unmask them world wide, he is carefully looking for terms that do not incriminate them, terms that excludes them by asserting the rights of those oppressed not by attacking them directly. He still gives them a chance to run their business in the countries where he can not get control or assist by not unmasking them so bluntly. So he decided to encode this request for the Western Financial Colonizers to leave Ukraine under this statement that makes him look and sound ridiculous about some de-Nazzification, but the message is: “I do not unmask you, I do not interfere with your business where your can still make business, as long as you can still make any business, where you can still make any business, you can still do your dirty business there, where you can, but I am watching you in the BRICS countries as I watched you and thrown you out of Russia, you will not grab our ex-Russian territories under the <Ukraine 1991 territorial integrity> bribe at all and get out of Ukraine as well!”
