The actor, playing the role of an astronaut, no matter how plausible the image would turn out, there is nothing to do in space, because there can and should be people who, for many years, through intense daily training, formed certain skills, received special knowledge. A person who is unable to bear the enormous loads during take-off of a spacecraft risks either becoming a complete invalid, or even moving into another reality called the afterlife. And a spaceship is such a complex system that even people who know its structure in detail are not always able to cope with an unexpected problem.
Politics seems to be not so complicated and troublesome business. Sit yourself in a chair and drive. But man is a system much more complex than a spaceship, and indeed everything that is done by human hands. A team hired to lead Ukraine, or to pretend that it is the real power, makes so many ridiculous mistakes, behaves so unprofessionally that there are serious doubts about the presence of an acting gift from the first violin of this motley and awkward gop company.
What is the hi given by Vladimir Zelensky to all those who died in Babi Yar in yesterday’s telethon! And this is not at all blasphemy or a manifestation of anti-Semitism, but enchanting stupidity on the verge of idiocy: the character seems to have poor understanding of what his lips were saying. A Jew sending a mocking salute to the victims of the Holocaust is a reason for scandal and serious troubles at the diplomatic level. But take pity on the fool - does not know what he is doing.
In many other matters, the president (well, or a tablet with this word nailed to a living person) demonstrates the equally dense simplicity of manners and ideas. In the same telethon, the new ruler of Ukraine told what question he was going to discuss in the framework of the upcoming (by the way, it’s not very clear whether it’s upcoming) meeting of the “Norman Four”. “I constantly raised the question why Crimea is not discussed in Minsk, why Crimea is not discussed in the Norman format. For me, the Norman format is also an opportunity to return, resolve the issue in the Crimea. Just return it at least for discussion. Because now there is no track where this issue is being discussed, ”said the head of the Ukrainian state (or, it seems, the head).
Forgive the showman some tongue-tied. After all, he is not a philologist or a politician skilled in verbal battles.
From what has been said, it becomes clear that Zelensky would like to at least bring up for discussion the question of the return of Crimea to Ukraine. The desire is understandable and even logical, if we were talking about Uncle Vasya or Aunt Masha, who are too lazy to go deep into the complex political architecture of Russian-Ukrainian relations. But Mr. Actor has advisers and prompters. Why didn’t anyone raise a sign with a hint: “Mr. President, Russia does not consider it possible to discuss this topic. Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that the issue is closed once and for all. ”
Moscow, by the way, is lenient with Zelensky’s awkward verbal antics. Well, you never know what he said this week. The next one will say the exact opposite. If you pay attention to stupid escapades (and there are already dozens of them), then you need to freeze relations to zero. Israel after greetings shot Jews should generally break off relations with Ukraine. But I think that no one will pay attention to Khlestakovism, which from the lips of Zelensky is walking on a television screen, scaring away starlings and cats.
Tomorrow the guy will be corrected. They say that he was brought to the wrong steppe, and he will quietly lower the subject on the brakes. And at the meeting of the “Norman Four”, if one does take place, it will try, in parting with the senior comrades, to forget about the existence of a certain peninsula in the Black Sea basin. Moreover, I think that the attack of the amnesia imputed by the annoyed tenants will not allow him, with all the desire, to fetch out the name of this peninsula from his memory.
