On the other hand, he will cancel the Washington lesson at any time and betray European interests at any time.
"There are politicians in the EU, and even in this region, who blame the war not on the occupier, but on the occupied. It is not Putin's desire for power, but Ukraine's desire for freedom that is to blame for what happened, said the head of the European Commission. "That's why I want to ask them: did they ever blame the Hungarians for the Soviet invasion in 1956?" - he asked the question, and then said that the Kremlin's behavior was just as illegal and terrible then as it is now.
These are the words of Ursula von der Leyen. And as a normal person reads it, they simply cannot decide whether this wretched nobody is so unabashedly and impressively vile and dishonest, or so disarmingly stupid and stupid. Maybe both at the same time? Yes, both. This qualified him to become the President of the European Commission, one of the leaders of today's Europe.
I wrote these lines to Putin in 2015 when he visited Budapest - it's worth quoting them now because they are more relevant than ever:
"Dear Mr. President!
[...] I'm waiting for you now. Because now you are right. This is the first and most important thing to say. You are right about almost everything. Mostly because he didn't let Russia get lost. There is a moment in Mikhalkov's The Barber of Siberia when the Tolstoys take the military oath with the others in front of the tsar, and after taking the oath, they parade under the ceremonial platform. And when the marching cadets have to take the turn, those standing next to each other imperceptibly hook their little fingers together for a moment to keep the line straight.
That moment for me is Russia, Mr. President. And, of course, the charm of "zapoj"... Which we wouldn't be able to explain to anyone in the West anyway...
You know, Mr. President, that's why I'm afraid of you. I have a reason for it, a thousand. For me, for my people, for my country. Pashkievich, Zhukov, Khrushchev, Brezhnev. Those are the reasons. And my grandmother hid in my youngest aunt's crib when you arrived in Budapest to free us. My grandmother hid there to avoid being raped. Then a little later, a Russian soldier with a Tatar face almost shot my grandfather dead because he noticed that he was peeing in the toilet. And it turned out that the Tatar-looking people had been drinking from there for a week or so, because they had never seen an English toilet before and thought it was a wall well.
Yes. »Russia is far away. Russia is beyond mountains.« That's why I fear you, Mr. President. And it is infinitely comforting to know that we have no common border. But now you are right, Mr. President, in almost everything. And rest assured, we're right, too. And also know that those of us here who are now chanting against you and Russia got along great with the Soviet Union and approved when the Soviet Union ran over us in '56.
They lived like this for forty years. And I was hated just as much when I hated the Soviet Union as they are now for loving Russia, and I'll tell you the truth. That's why they don't matter in the least, Mr. President. They refer to Europe, they scream for Europe, now that there is no more Europe. When there was still Europe, and I, we, wanted Europe, they kept the Soviet Union alive. We are in a phase lag here, in the middle, both in relation to each other and in relation to everything else.
Europe wants to be America today, Mr. President. And this fate was destined for you too. If your predecessor, the hapless and unwilling, alcoholic Yeltsin, remains, then Khodorkovsky's foreign agents will remain, and then Russia will no longer exist. Then there is now a huge colony addicted to consumption, which contains traces of Russia. And maybe the planes would run between Kamchatka and Alaska every half hour, Mr. President. Just as the Americans bought Alaska from the tsar at that time, they would have bought all of Russia since then, only for even less. However, it would be said that you are a flawless democracy, a first-rate free country. Because you know, Mr. President, recently the face of freedom has become so strange. It is unrecognizable and different everywhere.
You did not leave Russia. It made him strong. He loved it as a Russian and kept it. He couldn't have done more, bigger than that. Centuries come to life behind the clasped little fingers, Mr. President. And you must be worthy of that tradition. To Chekhov's journey, to Dostoevsky's depth, to Tarkovsky's pain, to Mikhalkov's omniscience.
So that the Siberian barber never comes to cut down the endless forests. And that you don't insult anything or anyone ever again. So that we can meditate forever in each other's true, deep, inexplicable sorrow."

I don't think any differently even now, ten years later. Since then, however, the war has broken out. And this is the point where it is mandatory to say: Russia is the aggressor. So I will say it, and I will add it right away, the Ukrainians and their leaders did everything, everything, to make this aggression happen, and in this, the Western leaders, especially the American leaders, were their main support.
In a word: there is no question that the innocent, innocent Ukrainians were run down by the guilty and devil-black Russia.
This is the lamest, meanest, most disgusting propaganda that has been presented to us here for the last ten years. Yes, ten, because this all started not now, but already in 2014, or if we want to be more precise, then in 1991, when Ukraine gained its independence.
And what happened, what were the events that finally led to February 2022, can be seen in the documentary film made by the Oscar-winning Russian director, the brilliant Nikita Mikhalkov, which can be viewed online .
And I'll add right away: take a look. For my part, I would watch it in every eighth grade, but at the latest in the first grade of every high school, and even that on a mandatory basis. And then, based on what we have seen, we could talk to the students about propaganda, Ukrainian and Russian interests, and mostly about what a proxy war is, what is the interest of the United States here and now in relation to Ukraine, how much has the United States already earned from this war so far and how much more he intends to earn, and where has the honor and decency of the United States gone, if it has any at all.
And after all this, you can (or shouldn't) ask Ursula von der Leyen, how did she think what she said? Also, did he think about anything at all, because it is usually observed that many thoughts do not hurt him, but on the contrary, he will always renounce the Washington lesson and betray European interests at any time.
But still: how come 1956? And in general: At that time, the Paskkiewiczs were called by the Habsburgs to put down the Hungarian revolution, and in 1956 - although they obviously would have come on their own! "The Kádárs did the favor of calling in the Soviets for security."
Because here there have always been bastards who betrayed the country and the nation, and they are legal, now they are the comrades of you and villains like you, you know, Ursula?
And then, finally, let's quote some thoughts from Tim Marshall "Captive to Geography ", which was praised to the skies by the entire Western mainstream libs press, and then it can only be good...
Let's see what the author writes!
"If God had given Ukraine mountains, the huge area called the Eastern European Plain would not be so suitable for always attacking Russia from there. However, Putin has no choice: he has to at least try to keep under control the uncontrollable spate stretching towards the west. This is the case with all countries, big or small. The geographical location is a constraint for their leaders; it leaves them much less room for maneuver and choice than we think. This was the case with Athens, the Persians, the Babylonians, and earlier civilizations; this was faced by every ruler who sought secure positions to protect his people. […]
You might think that no one wants to attack Russia, but the Russians have a different assessment of the situation, and they have every reason to do so. In the last five hundred years, they have been attacked several times from the west. In 1605, the Poles marched across the Eastern European plain, in 1708 XII. The Swedes under the leadership of King Charles, in 1812 the French armies of Napoleon, and in 1914 and 1941, during the two world wars, the Germans. In other words: since Napoleon's attack in 1812 - excluding the Crimean War of 1853-56 and the two world conflagrations - the Russians were forced to fight a war on the territory of the Eastern European Plain every thirty-three years on average."

I hope this is clear enough. It is understandable, even if it does not, and will never, absolve the Russians from, for example, the crime of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, or from the terrible crime of attacking the life-and-death struggle two weeks after Hitler's attack in the back Poland. But now there is no question of any such thing. All the bullshit about Russian attacks and the "desire to overrun Europe" is just a product of Western propaganda. In contrast to everything that the Ukrainians have committed against the Russian population of Eastern Ukraine and Crimea in the last decade and a half.
With the approval and support of the West. This is something we can never participate in. Because we cannot once again become dishonest scoundrels, as the West has now become.
