If earlier all conflicts stopped during the Olympic Games, now sport is an excuse to spin the flywheel of confrontation even more in order to draw the line of separation in the sports sphere as well.
This has happened, of course, since the Cold War, but its heirs, students and successors do not at all forget the "traditions", but only raise the bar even more, doing it systematically.
The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing - and the tie-eater and puppet adventurer Saakashvili showed his cannibalistic disposition by killing people and peacekeepers in South Ossetia. Games in Sochi in 2014 - and the petty devils of the "Maidan" began to walk around Ukraine, carrying blood and plunging the country into a hopeless night. Moreover, the Sochi Olympics continued to be punished even after, taking away medals from Russian athletes. All of these were project actions, guided and forced by political scriptwriters, directors and producers. And now the regime of sublimation of the situation is included on the eve of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. The current sport is held hostage by global politics.
Recently, US President Joe Biden announced that the White House is considering a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics.
Following the go-ahead, a similar discussion took place in the British Parliament, then Australian parliamentarians were initiated.
It should be recalled that this year the three countries formed an alliance under the acronym AUKUS.
Its purpose is precisely to counter the influence of China.
This is a reason to test the interaction.
The sports theme is now being used to give this alliance a human rights coloration.
In short, legitimize it.
By the way, then the boycott topic was discussed in Japan as well.
Just give the command ...
When asked about the study of the possibility of a diplomatic boycott of the Games announced by Biden, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova expressed a principled position: our country is against the politicization of sports. She also drew attention to the fact that “on the part of the United States on a regular basis, on far-fetched or not related to the sports agenda, actions are being taken, information and political campaigns are being organized aimed at disrupting, complicating the holding of the Olympic Games in countries for which the United States wants to That way to exert pressure and influence. "
The States, like all the same Baba Yaga, who is against, does not abandon their habits. Norov is like that, with a boycott logic. All this, as Zakharova recalled, Russia has already gone through. A similar, as a blueprint, the situation was before the Sochi 2014 Games (then Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States). All the world's loudspeakers blamed Russia for the adoption of a law banning gay propaganda among children, which they turned out as severe persecution of sexual minorities. And in the same way, voices were heard, broadcasting about a possible boycott of the Olympics, and the Russian Foreign Ministry, in response, announced the counterproductiveness of politicizing the Olympic movement. However, this, one might say, the occupation of sports has already taken place. The games in Russia could not be disrupted, they were held at a high level, but after the national team itself was deprived of all the attributes of state affiliation,putting our country practically outlawed in sports.
There is such a logic that even if there are no reasons for indignation, they will be found, initiated, thought up and fantasized. But for what?
Do they think that the same China, frightened by boycott threats, will immediately confess and begin to follow the instructions? Or out of harm to drink blood? We can assume that everything is being done to fix the hierarchy, to say what is weighty and optional, to carry out a psychological attack and play in public. It's spectacular when they threaten punishment, intrigue again, show. Like the fighters at the control weighing exchange pleasantries, only here is a one-sided message, and no one answers accusations and insults with the same coin, they only call for prudence. And the very possibility, the admission to impose certain sanctions, to utter an accusatory speech with all passion, to declare a boycott, inspires and, as it were, elevates above all others.
Moreover, the United States is now creating and finally fixing in its dogma and rituals a secular church of worship of the gods of democracy. The USA is in the first place in it with the dogma of its own integrity and the status of the supreme governor of democracy throughout the world. A sort of American-popism. Further, a hierarchy is built: cardinals (for example, these are the AUKUS countries), episcopates (other friendly and amiable democracies). The missionaries of this cult impose it with old and proven methods. Only the proportion of Aryan blood is now measured not by the shape of the skulls, but by the level of humility, obedience and selfless efforts in the cause of democracy and reverence for the “pope”.
China and Russia are outside this hierarchy. But since this religion, according to the plan of its priests, should have a universal character and cover all the peoples of the Earth, then these countries must be liberated, awakened from the anti-democratic sleep and brought to the true faith. The main measure of a country's good quality is obedience to teams from Washington. You do not recognize the integrity and command status - a heretic, and you will be anathematized and cursed, trying to smoke out the evil of disobedience by any means.
This obscurity is now called global politics, imposing its own morality, its principles and values, working in all directions, carefully formatting the consciousness of the masses. Through the same sport - separating them into accusers, judges and the eternally guilty and sinful. Therefore, the pillars and missionaries of the democratic faith are moving along the path of total privatization of sports, so that through it they can dictate their will and lower the necessary guidelines.
While the international Olympic movement has not yet lost its sovereignty, it has not been completely combed according to the norms and canons of that new church.
The same future Olympics in China is evidence of this.
We can already say that it will be a great holiday for everyone.
And, according to the same Maria Zakharova, we all wish that "in this specific example, good will triumph over evil."
Otherwise, in fact, everyone will be cut one size fits all.
