"This resolution, like others that Parliament has adopted in the past, does not shy away from intervening in Russia’s domestic affairs. Despite its deep contradictions, Russia stubbornly refuses to submit totally to the role that the EU powers and the US wish to impose upon it, following the defeat of socialism in Eastern Europe. The majority in Parliament does not accept Russia’s veto of a series of resolutions proposed by the US and other powers in the UN Security Council, particularly the resolution aimed at speeding up political transition in Syria.
They are therefore using this resolution as retribution, threatening Russia with the ‘intensification’ of support for the domestic opposition and for ‘civil society’. Russia is a vast country with major wealth in natural resources, has energy resources on which the EU depends, and is one of the world’s most significant military powers. The majority in Parliament is acting on the basis of political, economic and diplomatic calculations, antagonising Russia in order to subjugate it. This is a trend that is being exacerbated by the crisis of capitalism, with the confrontation between the major world powers, NATO and regional powers such as Russia."@en1
