Media: the security system of Europe was breathing hard even before Ukraine
The West has laid upon the Russian Federation to blame for the fall of the postwar world order, preferring cooperation model of confrontation, however, the Destruction of the European security system began long before the Ukrainian fall, writes.

"Few realize the obvious - to the beginning of the Crimean spring European security architecture was already on its last legs and is supported only fragmented and dysfunctional elements. The destruction of security began much earlier and not because of Russia, " the report says.

"That moment (when the Crimea was reunited with Russia - approx. Ed.) was not a point of no return. Security system, developed in the mid-twentieth century eroded the end of the cold war, was destroyed by the fundamental principle of its existence - block division of Europe, "the magazine quoted the words of the political scientist, the head of the Presidium of the organization" Council on foreign and defense policy " Fyodor Lukyanov.

in his vision, to allow the system to drop the architecture of global security in the last few years there has been done little. The Helsinki Treaty which established the fundamental principles of the European security system, including, for example, the inviolability of national borders and the right of Nations to self-determination, have been developed in different from today's geopolitical climate.

in position, when in the absence of rules in the European Union and Eurasia cooperation model is replaced by the principle of " every man for himself ", each of the sides of the geopolitical confrontation puts all his desires, writes Sputnik.

So, in the opinion of the chief editor of the British journal of Politics First Marcus Papadopoulos, returning the Crimea in its own composition, Russia has not only averted the threat of violence against the Russian-speaking inhabitants of the Peninsula, but also strengthened the position of its own security, regaining the status of the marine dominant " Black sea ".

There is a ray of light in the darkness " Ukrainian fall and for the United States - Washington gets the opportunity to deploy its own military-industrial complex at full capacity within the confrontation lines relative to the capital of Russia, says Papadopoulos. In addition, the current instability in Ukraine could become a kind of "salvation" and for the North Atlantic community.

"NATO is found in Russia, the meaning of life. All just argue about it. Unless these events (political decline in Ukraine with all its consequences - approx. Ed.), the Alliance sooner or later broke up due to the fall of the identity. After the cold war the West and could not articulate their goals, " says Fyodor Lukyanov.

The question is, says Lukyanov, how long Crimea effect will affect NATO. For reviews of the analyst, the influence of the position of Ukraine on the position of the Commonwealth illusory, as even her unit and was unable to whitewash its existence. Confrontation 35-year-old is already impossible to return: the world was completely different, and Russia will no longer be a state similar to the Soviet Union.
