Poor, poor Joseph Biden!

The politician has just started working as President of the United States of America and, most likely, is not aware that a criminal case has been opened against him in Ukraine and, therefore, in theory, he will be extradited in handcuffs from the White House in Washington to some Kiev District Court.

Sounds like the delirium of a stoned addict?

Not wanting to scatter such assessments myself, I would nevertheless not be very surprised if others actively use them in relation to the situation described above.

But here's what is really important and interesting: in Ukraine, such a "nonsense of a stoned drug addict" is a completely normal and even not particularly shocking part of the usual political and informational process.

Let's turn to the facts.

The lawyer of the former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko Igor Golovan made the following curious statement on the air of the local Channel 5: “Already on January 22, two days after the inauguration of the President of the United States, two new criminal proceedings were registered concerning alleged interference in the Prosecutor of Ukraine (Viktor -

MR

) Shokin on the part of the fifth President of Ukraine Poroshenko and the current President of the United States Biden. "

If Petro Poroshenko's lawyer is as "honest, truthful and absolutely trustworthy character" as his client, then I would not treat this information as 100% confirmed.

But the very fact that a similar injection was made into the information space of Ukraine still deserves attention and comment.

Ukraine is a country under very tight US external control.

And the very idea that any of the structures of the Ukrainian state would dare to throw a deliberate challenge to the most important of its overseas curators is a deliberate absurdity.

The attitude of the official Kiev to the official Washington is based on the principle "what will you please?"

American officials and politicians don't even need to read their ultimatum orders out loud.

Ukrainian officials and politicians catch everything on the fly and bark without hesitation: "It will be done!"

Specific example.

On January 11, 2021, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions "for interference in elections" against several Ukrainian citizens, including Oleksandr Dubinsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada from the presidential faction "Servant of the People".

How should a self-respecting country behave in such a situation, whose citizen has "come under fire" from official Washington?

The first thing that comes to mind: first, you need to understand the situation - and understand not superficially ("Once you have been accused, then you are definitely guilty!"), But in essence.

And debriefing essentially takes time.

But this is a theory pertaining to a self-respecting abstract country.

But the practice of political life - this time is no longer abstract, but quite a concrete country of Ukraine.

Already on January 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded the exclusion of Alexander Dubinsky from the slender ranks of his party comrades.

Or, rather, like this: according to Zelensky, Dubinsky must independently commit the act of his party-political suicide, so as not to expose anyone.

The National Bank of Ukraine could not remain silent in such a situation either.

This respectable department has strictly warned commercial banks and other participants in the financial markets: it is dangerous to deal with individuals and organizations that have come under US sanctions.

In other words, you better not get along, kid, with the bad boy Sasha Dubinsky!

It will be bad!

Do you already sympathize with the deputy Aleksandr Dubinsky, who has "fallen under the rink"?

Still early.

Remember the joke "the severity of laws is compensated by the non-obligation of their execution"?

In relation to modern Ukrainian realities, it can be formulated in the following way: the ferocity of the "orders" of President Volodymyr Zelensky is compensated by them, in fact, by a recommendatory nature.

Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zelensky himself, of course, does not think so.

But in fact it turns out that way.

Nobody in the country obeys Vladimir Alexandrovich.

And this "nobody" even includes members of his own parliamentary faction.

Perhaps, in the very near future, Dubinsky will be excluded from the "servants of the people".

But the instant expulsion of the renegade from the slender ranks of builders - I don't know what Zelensky is currently building in Ukraine (I bet that he himself does not know this either) - did not work.

Doesn't this mean that in Russia we are exaggerating the omnipotence of the system of external American government in Ukraine?

I’m sure not.

So far, the "demonstrative punishment" of Biden's offenders, which, from the point of view of the US authorities, includes Dubinsky, is proceeding rather by inertia.

New (or, to be more precise, old ones that have not yet been forgotten) American curators of Ukraine are busy taking cases from the previous administration.

But Ukrainian politicians are eager to include them as arbitrators and bosses in the political process in their country as soon as possible.

That is why Poroshenko's lawyer sent an unambiguous signal to Washington with the help of his appearance on television.

Like, look, friend Joe!

You and your friend Petro are offended here!

Even two criminal cases were opened!

You will figure it out as soon as possible!

Our offenders must be punished!

Whether there are, in reality, the two sought-for criminal cases or are they a figment of the imagination of Poroshenko's inventive legal adviser - it does not matter.

The main thing is that, being unable to independently sort out each other, the leading Ukrainian politicians, with pitiful voices, race in every possible way to attract the attention of the new US president, trying to enlist his highest patronage.

They stopped playing Trump in Ukraine.

But the "Biden games" are already in full swing.
