American comedy

Biden threatens Russia with disaster.

However, this is not news.

The traditions of self-hypnosis, as well as intimidation of dissidents and opponents, are very strong among the American political elite.

They are in the blood.

I remember that even Obama smashed to shreds the economy of some gas station country created by his imagination.

Where is Obama now?

The only difference between the current escalation is that apocalyptic predictions for Russia are promised in the event of its hypothetical actions in the near and distant future. At the same time, the United States has convinced itself and is hypnotizing the world that these actions - namely aggression against Ukraine - are almost inevitable and it's only a matter of time. The states are so stubbornly instilling the idea of ​​this aggression that suspicions arise that it is they who are its main interest and organizer.

Nor is it news that the American leader, like Cassandra, is threatening Russia with new and unprecedented sanctions.

The news is that sanctions threats are increasingly taking on the form of an attempt to aim at one's own foot.

The resource of intimidation has been exhausted and devalued, but the process itself is so drawn out that the States are already moving into a rhetoric format that borders on outright bluff, moreover, a bluff that equally hits them themselves.

Everything with the “Made in USA” tag is a lever of the most severe pressure and coercion.

In general terms, this is the message of the current frightening American rhetoric.

Speculation with sanctions levers has reached such a limit when they begin to turn against the initiator himself.

Thus, threats to disconnect Russia from the SWIFT international banking system become a signal to everyone who values ​​their own sovereignty and independence to begin to look skeptically at this system and look for alternatives. But this is not enough. Biden goes further along the path of self-disclosure, saying that in the event of "aggression" Russian banks will not be able to conduct transactions with the dollar. So the American currency is converted into the format of a sanctions weapon. This feature has already been noted in the Russian State Duma. It is unlikely that this will become a means of increasing confidence in the US currency. And now let's imagine that the threats are realized and the US separates Russia from the dollar. Then you can immediately say very precisely and categorically about the end of the era of the dominance of the dollar, which just conquered the world by the simplicity of converting, and then the true face will be revealed ...

By the way, in Russia for a long time and persistently there have been voices about the abandonment of the dollar. Last year, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, questioned the advisability of using the dollar in Russia. Sergey Lavrov also called the withdrawal from the dollar a means of reducing the negative risks from sanctions. So the US is now only exacerbating the situation.

Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that Biden's statements, with an emphasis on the catastrophic consequences for Russia, "do not contribute to defusing the tension that has now arisen in Europe." Moreover, repeated threats under the tracing paper can also become a significant destabilizing factor - they will give the Ukrainian authorities the determination to unleash a “civil war in their country and try to solve the problem of the southeast by force”. At the same time, Peskov noted as a positive shift the expressed readiness to discuss the non-deployment of weapons in Ukraine, as well as the words that NATO membership does not shine for this country in the near future. But “all this remains to be clarified”, that is, the space for negotiations is not closed.

Of course, Biden understands the concerns of Russia, but he is held hostage to a position in which a step to the right, a step to the left will be perceived as a betrayal.

Yes, and too much effort has been expended on the creation of a country that they do not feel sorry for at all, a territory of permanent chaos.

Therefore, the threats border on an attempt at unintelligible bargaining.

The American leader talks about the possibility of agreements on the non-deployment of strategic weapons in Ukraine and is very vague about the prospects for joining NATO.

From all this, one can also understand the message that this country is in his pocket and is completely controlled.

Even more mysteries are fraught with the term “minor aggression” used by Biden, which can be interpreted as a hint-proposal for the division of Ukraine. Which caused a shock reaction from Zelensky. If the Russian appeal to the States on security guarantees was extremely specific, then Biden's statements are addressed to many addressees at the same time, who read them differently, hence the vagueness, hence the possibility of many interpretations. This inconsistency in the statements of the American president during the press conference was noted by many in Russia.

It is possible that we are witnessing a long-standing American strategy of raising rates to the level of a bluff.

Ukraine is a matter of price.

Nobody in the West will fight for it.

The economic consequences are double-edged.

They, too, can be weighed and understood how beneficial it is to further build the “anti-Russia” project and move towards Russian borders.

Especially in a situation where there are great suspicions that the overwhelming majority of the Ukrainian people will meet with relief and joy the deliverance of the country from protracted haze and creeping Western absorption.

There is a high probability that this country, not for Russia, but for the United States, will become the second Afghan with the prospects of an emergency flight from there.

In fact, speaking of catastrophic consequences, Biden most likely understands that they will not bypass his country either, and any aggravation will be tantamount to playing roulette,

The states are beginning to think that with a certain increase in rates, the price of their Ukrainian project will be too high.

Still, the Americans are a nation of pragmatic people and all their adventurism is a game for the public.

But these thoughts make their way too hard through the reinforced concrete thickness of ideas about one's own exclusivity and infallibility, a persistent unwillingness to adequately perceive a different point of view.

This was noted by the same Maria Zakharova, who called “criminal negligence” the position of American journalists at Biden’s press conference, who “say with all certainty about the“ Russian attack on Ukraine ”and as if they had never heard about NATO expansion to the east, the obligations of Western countries about indivisibility of security.

As if they don’t know anything about the provocations of the Kiev regime and their support by Washington.”

"I can't see anything, I can't hear anything."

However, there is another American comedy with a telling title - "Dumb and Dumber" ...

It is quite obvious that horror stories about “Russian aggression” are a cover for their own occupation policy towards Ukraine, which America actively and without any hesitation began to master after 2014.

Thus, the speaker of the Russian parliament, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that NATO seeks to occupy Ukraine.

And all this, according to him, is justified by the fact that the whole world is being frightened by the legend of Russian conquest plans.

I must say that the ball is now on the side of the United States.

True, the same Biden does not quite understand what to do with him.

Russia has made its position very clear, now much depends on America, which can easily push the Zelensky regime to recklessness and provoke provocations.

There is a feeling that there is no clear strategy, as well as unity in NATO, yet.

Apparently, the original plans to repeat the South Ossetian scenario of 2008 ran into Russian determination and firm will.

Therefore, they wait.

The states plunged into the calculation of their accounting, figuring out which options would be more profitable, so Biden spread his pitchfork in the water.

Russia is waiting for specifics.
