In the American news, messages about the next successful use of the national guard slip quite often. Apparently, it is the successes of the overseas guards that can explain the fact that Russia can also create its own national guard.
Before we comment on the very fact of such an event, we need to talk about this entity as a whole. So, in the United States, the internal guard is actually called the national guard. And do not think that they perform exclusively military functions. On the contrary, they are constantly used to provide assistance to regions affected by natural disasters. They are often attracted to support firefighters and rescuers. For example, during the notorious summer fires in California, when the situation became critical, it was the guards who helped firefighters curb the elements.
However, the national guard in America may not be used for such peaceful purposes. For example, it is they who can be sent to pacify riots and uprisings within the country, as well as to help policemen, whose forces may not be quite enough. In addition, the guard can be used to destroy terrorists, and also its formations often participate in the wars that the US has fought in recent years.
As you can see, the functions of the guard are very diverse. However, do they not repeat the tasks of the Ministry of Emergencies and Internal Troops in our country? Yes, they repeat. That is why the national guard of Russia is an obscure and unexplored phenomenon.
Unlike all of the same America, where the guard performs a number of tasks, we are going to create an organization in our country that is accountable only to V.V. To Putin. It is as if our internal troops have no task of protecting power in the country! Several experts have already expressed their opinion that the next useless security organization is again being created in Russia, which will only require money for its maintenance.
Do you think that the US National Guard is only concerned with protecting the very vague "public interests"? No, her tasks are clear and transparent … unlike our “guard”, which will again recruit under-trained contract soldiers. What will they do? What will they protect?
There are suggestions that the guard may also be involved in disaster management. But does the Ministry of Emergencies cope with this? Perhaps this incomprehensible entity will be engaged in neutralizing terrorists? And why then do you need numerous special forces? But the likelihood that the valiant national guard will be used instead of riot police, suppressing riots in the next protests, is very high.
In Russia, there were already separate guards military units, which glorified their name after the Great Patriotic War. However, after the “reforms” undertaken by the past Minister of Defense (who is still at large), these units are gone. It is not clear why Russia needs a national guard, which does not deserve its rank …
