The classic proverb "I caught a Turk" means that you managed to get what you wanted, you achieved what you wanted, but it disappointed you, and even if you tried to get rid of it, you can't anymore.
The bright-eyed West has accounted for itself, not a little: while it has invested money and money in its proxy war with the Russians, it knows that in terms of the global balance of power, the tsar is not exactly its main enemy. How would you know, if someone, well, America knows the rumbling, his practice in this kind of knowledge can be said to be unparalleled. Another issue is that, thanks to its top-level consciousness industry, there are hardly any voters in the Western cultural circle today who would not expect some kind of cosmic justice instead of balance, thanks to the false, but at least completely dumbed down, narrative that has been circulating for months, with the working title of "good Ukrainians versus demonic Russians".
Well, it's nice to shade the picture from here, but listen, now this act follows.
Let our premise be that President Zelensky - who must have been absent from the class discussing the history of cemeteries filled with his friends in the USA - was dragged into the pipeline.
I note in parentheses that even before the massacre of Russian prisoners of war in Makhiivka, Donetsk, the UN had already revealed 175 cases in which the Ukrainian army had committed war crimes. Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg, and it means that there is no qualitative difference between the human rights approach of the Russian and Ukrainian armies, let's say. In any case, the veneer of civilization melts quickly in wars, regardless of the flags, in short, the children's fairy tale "hero's fight with evil" was really received with a storm of applause by softened, dumbed-down liberal societies that only knew murder from movies. Bracket closed.
Here's a little chronology.
On November 8, the mid-term elections began in the USA, the Republican Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the minority group in the House of Representatives, announced the very next day: they won enough mandates to be able to declare that the Republicans have gained a majority in the lower house.
"It's clear we're going to take back the House."
We are now neglecting the media circus - predict a large-scale victory, so the small one will look more like a defeat - the point is that the old line-up has remained in the Senate, with only one seat, the vice-president, holding the Democratic majority, and the House of Representatives returned to the Republicans. All of this, if the Republicans decide, could make it very difficult for the additional billions of dollars to be transferred to Ukraine in the future.
On Monday morning, November 14, Kommersant, a Moscow business daily, was the first to report that CIA director William Burns and the head of the Russian intelligence service, Sergei Nariskin, met in Ankara at the American initiative. It was the highest-level face-to-face meeting between Russian and American officials since February 24. No substantial information about the meeting has come to light - according to reports, it was only about avoiding escalation and avoiding nuclear weapons and prisoners of war. Blah blah.
According to press reports, US Chief of Staff General Mark Milley previously argued that Ukraine should negotiate with Russia, but General Valery Zaluznyi, commander of the Ukrainian army, said:
"The Ukrainian army will not accept any negotiations, agreements or compromise decisions."
Here I also note in parentheses that these types of statements can indicate two things: either Ukrainians are that stupid, or they see their audience as such. By the way, Olena Zelenska also recently told the BBC that there will be no peace without a Ukrainian victory, which also cannot be taken seriously from the representative of a country that is currently on the ventilator of the West.
On November 16, news arrived that Russian-made rockets had hit the Polish town of Przewodów near the Ukrainian border on the previous day, Tuesday night, and two people had lost their lives. Poland is known to be a member of NATO, so there was hardly a European citizen who did not feel goosebumps on hearing the news. But surprisingly quickly, and even more surprisingly, the parties involved showed calmness, with one exception - Ukrainian President Zelenskyi has been insisting since then that they did not launch the missiles, or if they did, it was not their fault either.
the expressions " please , " thank you " and " pardon" from the dictionary of Ukrainian diplomacy, which is easily inferior to a pub debate, but which is even more raucous As well as the fact that losing territory is not unthinkable, in fact, there is a worse option: if it is destroyed along with your own. In Ukraine, this currently works the other way around, Ukrainian heroes kill their own citizens with vigor, depending on which ethnicity they belong to or what language they speak, and in terms of their methods, freezing to death with foil on a tree is the most humane folk custom.
But if we move beyond the style, there is still the nagging question that
how could a blue-and-yellow Pinocchio carved overseas and moved on American threads come to life?
Since President Biden has increasingly stated that the USA respects Ukraine's decision - whether to continue the fight or not - we can be more and more certain that Ukraine has no say in its own future.
In a word, the question is, how can the Ukrainian president suddenly become independent and face - even if only at the level of communication - those who invented, assembled and operate him?
Or let me ask another way: are you sure you turned around? Is it not possible that he carried out the rocket affair on the same instructions as he had done everything else?
Why do we think that image building is a one-way street?
After all, in the witch's kitchen of the American deep state , the Ukrainian president would not be the first to be built up with great enthusiasm and then dismantled when the wind turns.
The bad news is that whoever is the leader of Ukraine, at the end of the war, a frustrated and fanatical or an arrogant and fanatical mass of people will be left next door, armed to the chin with a centuries-old cultural deficit. Aye.
We look forward to a beautiful new iron-domed future.
