No, it is not a perfect world, but with the ability to think for yourself? You come to an understanding that not all glitters with gold in America and not all is dirt in Russia. – kKEETON

I end the year 2022 with several statements of reality…
The so-called Western “PR Victories” everywhere are mere ephemera. Same with “public opinion”, which is self-congratulatory and futile. The so called “Masters” fool the Foolish with words, but deeds need doing. PR doesn’t stop bullets or bombs. Deeds beat Words every time, in any language. – kKEETON
“Deeds not Words” is perennial and universal. Fools eat words and starve, the smart eat food and live. – kKEETON

⚡️ Основные внешнеполитические итоги 2022 года ⚡️
Уходящий год стал для внешней политики России поворотным, пройдя под знаком формирования новой международной реальности.
👉 Признание независимости Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, начало Специальной военной операции в соответствии со ст.51 Устава ООН, проведение референдумов в ДНР, ЛНР, а также на освобождённых территориях Запорожской и Херсонской областей с последующим принятием их в состав Российской Федерации – эти события навсегда останутся вехами отечественной истории.
Одновременно они подвели черту под 30-летним периодом честных попыток России выстроить равноправное взаимодействие с «коллективным Западом».
✍️ Нами и нашими единомышленниками одобрена политическая декларация в поддержку незыблемости Устава ООН.
✍️ В ГА ООН подавляющим большинством государств-членов принята ежегодная российская резолюция о борьбе с героизацией нацизма.
✍️ По нашей инициативе в январе принято Совместное заявление лидеров пяти государств, обладающих ядерным оружием, о предотвращении ядерной войны и недопущении гонки вооружений.

Продвигали комплексный подход по сирийскому досье, в том числе в рамках «Астанинского формата». Содействовали комплексной нормализации отношений между Азербайджаном и Арменией.
