Military threats to Russia's national security. Ensuring national security

In the modern world, in the light of recent events, the topics explaining risk factors and, in general, all military threats to Russia's national security are increasingly being raised. To consider this problem more broadly, it is necessary to begin with the concept itself. The satisfaction of any national interests in the modern world is due to the mutual and mutual action of the countries on the world stage with the assistance of forces directly within the country. Such relations are on the verge of cooperation and confrontation - simultaneously. Thus, we can consider the state of affairs as an ordinary struggle for survival. Therefore, one way or another, but countries must take into account mutual interests. But if the rules of the game are not observed or the disregard for one state to another, it can be regarded as a threat to the security or integrity of the state, at least economically.

What is a security risk?

Thus, military threats to Russia's national security can be defined as indirect or direct opportunities for causing risks to freedom, constitutional rights, territorial value, the level and quality of life of citizens, development, security and defense of the state.

Such clashes based on the satisfaction of their national interests are the first step towards security problems. This is how the interpretation of the concept looks, but on the basis of this, it is necessary to note the following. In the absence of national interest, the threat as such does not exist, therefore, it can be classified as a danger that itself can appear not only as a result of human activities, but also of natural, man-made and natural disasters.

Classification of threats

Before considering how much the national security of the Russian Federation is strong and where it is necessary to expect a danger, it is worth analyzing the types of threats.

A potential threat is always considered during the development and creation of any program. Despite the plan and its focus, such risks must necessarily be calculated. At the same time, immediate threats require the immediate use of special systems and "levers" for a crisis taking an adequate response. Most often, the focus of such problems is precisely potential threats. Sources can be purposeful, for a specific purpose and with respect to geography. The latter, in turn, can be caused not only by external sources, but also by internal sources, which we will discuss in more detail on a concrete example.

Internal threats to the national security of Russia

At the moment, the main threats to military security can be divided into the following:

• Social tension in society can be one of the most dangerous risks. This is a so-called time bomb, which can burst at any time, as soon as the gap between rich and poor reaches a critical limit. Hence the growing tension in society, prostitution, alcoholism, drug addiction, criminal component.
• Resource orientation, in this example, oil and gas, of course, allows you to have a high income for the entire state, but at the same time, it should be noted that there can not be any stable and stable economic growth in speech.
• Strengthen the gap in economic growth between different regions. In conditions where one region lives better than another, links are broken, and this clearly does not facilitate integration between the regions.
• Criminogenic situation of the whole society in Russia. In recent times, the incidence of unearned income has increased, and this can be observed both among the general population and the top authorities, which affects the overall instability and instability of the economy. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to get the national economy out of the current crisis.
• Problems associated with the reduction of scientific and technological potential, as the basis for economic growth. In fact, the national security of the Russian Federation is facing a rather serious threat, due to the fact that recently Russia has not made sufficient contributions to knowledge-intensive industries, so there is simply no necessary scientific capacity.
• Separatist views of individual territories that operate on the principle of a federal system.
• Inter-ethnic and inter-ethnic tensions, which have only recently intensified.
• Demographic crisis and reduction of physical health of the population.

If you consider all the above security threats in a compartment, you can see that they are closely related. If one occurs, the next one may become relevant, and so on through the chain. Elimination of all these problems is necessary in order to ensure the preservation of statehood. But in addition to internal threats, special attention should be paid to the external.

External threats to the national security of Russia

As for problems from the outside, everything is much simpler here, and they seem more obvious, because basically the entire country suffers from their action. Among such threats are the following:

• International terrorism.
• Reducing the role of the Russian Federation in the world political and economic life, because of the targeted actions of both specific states and organizations (the example of the OSCE and the UN).
• Territorial expansion with respect to China and Japan.
• Constant increase in NATO's military presence.
• Placement near the borders of Russia's military forces, in particular the United States.
• The widespread proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
• The deterioration of relations with the CIS countries, in particular Belarus and Ukraine.
• Crisis of the country's defense potential.
• The constant emergence of military armed confrontations near the borders and the CIS countries, a vivid example of the crisis in Ukraine and the military coup in 2013-2015.
• The weakening of the position in the telecommunications sector, because of the number of countries that invest in an information war is simply a colossal amount.
• Activation of foreign organizations, spies and the so-called fifth column on the territory of the Russian Federation .

Thus, internal and external threats necessarily require constant monitoring to ensure that security is under control.

Manifestation of a threat from the US (Cold War)

In fact, attempts to show unfriendly attitude on the part of the US have been constant, and many facts confirm this, and such maneuvers from this side will continue. A political solution to this problem can hardly be found, since the interests of Russia and America lie in completely different planes and understanding of what is happening. But, as experts have already pointed out, the Cold War did not really end, but only a short break was taken to forcefully strike Russia.

Much can shed light on the recent chess castling in Eastern Europe and the interest of the United States in all this. Despite the fact that the CIA has 4 bases outside of America, plans are likely to build one more directly at the borders with Russia, namely, in Ukraine.

As can be seen from the latest situation in this country, Ukrainian structures are incompetent, extravagant, lying, and to all else there are frank elements of disrespect either to the Russian president or to the state as a whole. If the CIA base is open, then America will be able to conduct a conversation with the Russian Federation, if not on high, then on confident tones. Thus, an experienced, highly organized structure will appear at the borders, which established its order in more than 40 countries.

Conflict in Ukraine as a direct threat

Speaking about the "enemy at the gate", it is certainly worth noting that the military threats to Russia's national security have become critical after the conflict in Ukraine, and this is noted by competent services around the world.

So, suppose that in the plans of the government of the most "democratic" country in the world (according to its version), the construction of bases in Ukraine really is worthwhile. Why is it necessary and what will it give in fact? In fact, the answer lies not only in the geopolitical control of this region. Naturally, in this country the first thing to be created is a special center for the training of radicals and terrorists, so that they are subsequently transferred to Russia to bring about riots. In this case we are talking about those young people who have been ideologically processed since the beginning of the 1990s. Now, almost half of a friendly, fraternal and once united country within the USSR considers Russia to be the root of all ills and the main enemy, therefore, it will gladly go to learn how to kill the enemy on US landfills.

Radicals and terrorist organizations

A threat to terrorism and radicalism is no less a problem. The primary task of such organizations is the aggravation of the degree of tension, the instillation of chaos, unrest and fear in society, the need to reel the situation and exacerbate the situation.

As you know, there is a lot of direct evidence that the United States is creating terrorists on an industrial scale, but for some reason the world public is constantly closing its eyes to this (for unknown reasons). In Afghanistan, it was Al Qaeda, and its actions were directly directed against the USSR. After the collapse, the need for it was asleep, and afterwards, a double CIA agent, Osama bin Laden, was killed as an unnecessary and already unnecessary witness, but in the media he was submitted as a terrorist No. 1.

What do we see in the modern world? Libya, Syria, Ukraine, and then who? And the next will be Russia, and will help America in this IGIL. Thus, it can be said with certainty that the threat of terrorism mainly comes only from one "democratic" state, which, under the cover of an ardent fighter with these structures, creates a danger.

NATO

Despite the fact that NATO bases have flooded the whole world, direct military actions with the Russian Federation are practically excluded. Therefore, from the side of this bloc, the military threats to Russia's national security are close to zero. Many facts can speak about this, and, of course, the Russian "nuclear fist" plays an important role. No one wants to doom the entire planet to death, and the opening of the Southern and Eastern Front can just lead to this. Of course, the possibility of active participation of this bloc is not ruled out, if the Russian Federation can still withstand an economic blockade and sanctions, but it will again be an underground activity in the training of militants, terrorists and transferring them to the territory. But, one way or another, such external military threats as the NATO bloc can be safely regarded as potential

.

Economic threat (sanctions)

In the course of recent events, I want to understand why such a large, rich and strong country suffers from a deliberate economic impact? And the problem in the next, as they say, "came trouble, where did not expect." Modern Russia is a raw material appendage of the economy, but not its own, it is about exports. The blow of sanctions was so planned and palpable that all the world's levers were involved. This is an artificial decline in oil prices on the part of the Arab states, and the restrictions that Europe imposed. The modern economy of the Russian Federation largely ignores the needs of the citizen, as it did 20 years ago. Modern business itself does not produce enough, and often simply sells its raw materials or, worse, imported goods. Therefore, emphasis has been placed on the most vulnerable and vitally important industries. This should be regarded as an impetus to redirection to the eastern market, but is it not too late, could not it be foreseen this move?

Modern threats

Undoubtedly, terrorism is a threat to Russia's national security No. 1, but if you look into the near future, several more, not less important, can add to this problem. Already beginning in 2015, Russia can be in the heart of the bout "to death" for natural resources. The world began to rebuild from multipolarity to polycentrism, instability began to grow, competition between the new centers of power increased. The modern world enters one of the most difficult demographic, ecological and raw material periods. Russia in this situation is a very important player due to its geopolitical position. And no military threat is scary only when they treat you like an equal, and in the case of Russia - when they are afraid. Therefore, no matter how many attempts are made to weaken its geopolitical and geographical positions, they will all be brought to nothing. But thanks to the fact that the growth in raw fuel is constantly growing, and gas and oil will remain the main sources of energy and have a predicted share of 84% until 2030, Russia's time is yet to come. The only danger is that the Russian Federation is bordered by 16 states, which now and then try to revise their borders.

Forecast for the future

Of course, the Kremlin's relations with Brussels and Washington will never be the same. And in response to all the threats of NATO, US NMD systems, constant "color" revolutions in a number of post-Soviet countries and at the borders of Russia, the government updated the doctrine, which says about ensuring national security of the state. According to this document, in response to the action will immediately follow the opposition, thanks to which the whole country can sleep peacefully and not worry about its future.
