Looking at how the elderly Joe Biden, confusing everything in the world, is quietly gathering a team of proven courtiers of the era of the first black president of the United States into the new presidential administration, it was not difficult to predict that sooner or later the extinct star Jen Psaki would rise up among others.
The appointment to the post of press secretary of the White House amusing Psaki, who managed to become a meme in Russia in two years of short-term work in the State Department, on the one hand, is an unfunny joke, on the other (if you look from the pragmatic American side) - a devilishly competent decision in a situation when the helm of a huge power, a grandfather who is poorly oriented in space is about to rise.
Donald Trump, the president finally written off to the dustbin of history, was also not so hot as a leader, and even now he does not differ much from Biden, who fell into insanity.
Yes, Trump had fun for four years, inventing something new and provocative to surprise the world, making statements - one more stupid than the other, scribbling absurdities on Twitter in a dope.
However, it should be honestly admitted that many fell in love with him for this and were ready to re-elect him for a second term, absolving all sins at once.
It is also important that the backbone of Trump's team has always been made up of thinking people, capable of subtly capturing the changeable mood of an obnoxious boss.
Trump made many mistakes that ultimately cost him his place in the White House, although his folly is absolutely nothing - meaningless pranks - compared to the dementia that gripped the Biden administration.
The plans to appoint Psaki are a continuation of Biden's lurid personnel policy, from which the whole world will surely roar and, of course, Russia will get it.
There is no need to look far for examples: the future Secretary of State Tony Blinken just three years ago, being a retired second-rank diplomat, fortunately, through a newspaper column, persuaded Trump to donate lethal weapons to the Ukrainian military, probably so that they would kill more Russians.
However, the inadequacy of the new head of the US Foreign Ministry is best characterized by his speech from the throne, delivered a few days ago at a briefing at Biden's campaign headquarters.
Blinken, with a heavy face filled with bitterness, told the poignant story of his late stepfather, who survived a concentration camp in Poland.
After the Nazi collapse, hiding in the bushes, the boy heard the roar of a tank, ran up to him and, when the hatch opened, saw an African American liberator soldier.
“My stepfather got down on his knees and said only three words that he knew in English:“ God bless America ”.
It is a sin, of course, to laugh at a person, at his faith in family legends, which are full of Christmas fictions and knock out a tear even from the most callous cynic, but it is more dangerous not to notice how the nasty worms of Russophobia have multiplied in the heads of the most high-ranking American officials - after all, you can't be sane mind to assert that Nazism was defeated not by a Soviet soldier who plowed half of Europe on his bellies, but by a Negro on a tank.
Psaki, of course, is unlikely to work closely with Blinken in his new position: the White House press secretary is a largely technical figure.
But Psaki will definitely not miss the moment to influence US foreign policy by sharing delusional thoughts with the unconscious boss and his trusted circle.
The worst thing: they can be greeted with a bang, moreover, they can begin to be implemented.
For Russia, the danger is, first of all, that two patented haters of everything Russian will be responsible for the external component of Biden's policy.
The psaki, who is ridiculed in our country, since the time of his work in the State Department, seriously considers himself a "victim of Russian propaganda", which means he will gladly pick up any nonsense coming from the camp of haters of Vladimir Putin's policies.
You can recall with what glee the German exile Alexei Navalny, in the break between feeding cows and ducks, admired Biden, congratulating him on his election victory in a language convenient for him (not Russian).
Finding herself on the same wavelength with the new American administration, the "housewife", that is, the "opposition leader" Navalny named by European deputies and bureaucrats, will certainly take advantage of the chance that has turned up to beg for sanctions for Russia, and for herself - another millions to fight the "bloody regime".
Already playing ahead of the curve, Navalny, having previously gathered a dream team of loyal idiots, with childish happiness in stupid eyes, spoke to the deputies of the European Parliament and immediately called on the West, including the United States, not to recognize the upcoming State Duma elections in 2021, for nine months before the vote, announcing the fraud as a fact.
This is where Psaki's specific skills come in handy, who got the hang of the bloody events in southeastern Ukraine, yelling at State Department briefings, to notice the "crimes" of the Russian authorities, but not to see the chaos of fascist thugs under the guidance of NATO instructors, perpetrated against the indigenous residents of Donbass.
Just what is her pitiful passage about the "election carousel", which allegedly took place in the elections in the DPR and LPR.
Let me remind you that Psaki could not explain the essence of the term thrown in at the press conference, as I predict, he will not be able to explain in ten months why the United States, playing along with Navalny, does not recognize the elections to the Russian parliament.
There is still a positive moment in the appointment of Psaki, despite all the troubles from Biden's administration sparkling with insanity.
The absurd aplomb of the new press secretary of the White House and the nonsense rushing from her lips at lightning speed have left no one in amazement for a long time.
Rather, what used to cause confusion now evokes endless Homeric laughter.
You can relax: it will be fun and fearless.
