“Thank you for your conciliatory and friendly telegram.
... I believe in your wisdom and friendship.
Your loving Nicky."
So wrote Tsar Nicholas II to Kaiser Wilhelm II.
To my cousin.
In place of the three dots, of course, there were much more serious words.
And the First World War has actually begun for a day.
But this is, so to speak, “mimimi” at the moment when everything has already happened, this is an amazing monument of the era, all the more valuable for us, since approximately the same thing is happening now.
We are watching humanity beg for war.
On the empty place.
From nothing.
It cannot be said that this was completely unexpected - many years ago I personally wrote that the number of contradictions accumulated in the world is such that it is impossible to resolve these contradictions without a military conflict.
War resets everything.
After the war, you can start everything from scratch.
Like after a fire.
But it's one thing to theorize.
And it is quite another thing to observe the growth of all this with your own eyes.
In the reality.
At the same time, understanding what leads to what, and not having the slightest opportunity to change the situation.
"Your loving Nicky" will solve the issues.
And you will carry out his decisions.
And there is no other option.
And here we are sitting here and looking like “our Western partners” (I can’t write this phrase without quotes, because we don’t have any partners in the West, but there are only fierce enemies who hate us and whose totalitarianism has no boundaries). .. so here we are sitting here and watching how they are there arguing all this hellish absurdity about the attack on Ukraine, followed by sanctions that we never dreamed of.
“The leaders of the UK and other leading NATO countries agreed that in the event of an invasion of Ukraine against Russia, an unprecedented package of sanctions should be introduced.
This is stated in a statement released by the office of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson following his online meeting on Monday with the leaders of the United States, Italy, Poland, France, Germany, the leadership of the European Union and NATO, ”this is a message dated January 25.
With the same hands, Boris Johnson at the same time continues to send weapons to Ukraine by planes.
And the most surprising thing is that we here, in the "aggressor country" do not see any military preparations at all.
And they are there, in countries whose citizens (or subjects) have no idea where this very Ukraine is located - they are all right in suspense.
They are very worried.
They cannot eat.
“The international community should not tolerate any action that would undermine Ukrainian sovereignty,” says Boris Johnson, and you just want to laugh out loud.
What kind of Ukrainian sovereignty is this?
2005?
Or 2014?
Ukrainian sovereignty has been trampled and worn under the soles of Victoria Nuland and all emissaries like her.
There is no Ukrainian sovereignty.
There is a protectorate.
And we, of course, would not want to have such a protectorate at our side.
Even more interesting is that the Ukrainian leadership itself seems to understand what the collective West is pushing it to do.
Rhetoric is rhetoric, but all this weapon must be used somewhere.
And now the Ukrainian generals are cautiously saying that in general they do not see any particular threat from Russia.
And it would be nice to keep the status quo.
And then phenomenal news follows: “The White House did not agree with the assessments from Ukraine that the escalation will not happen.”
Well, that is full of childishness.
Go fight.
And here we are, on the island, we will rule and divide.
And the European countries are already divided.
Germany refuses to supply weapons and demands not to impose sanctions on the energy sector.
Croatia directly declares that it will not go to war.
Great Britain and the USA continue to spit, France - as usual.
And there is some conceptual contradiction in all this.
NATO countries have united in order to counter a common threat.
For some insignificant Estonia, the desire to hide behind the back of the United States is quite understandable and logical.
And now a common threat arose in the minds of these strategists.
Moreover, the threat is not at all to the NATO country, but do not understand to whom at all.
Wild field.
And against the background of this threat, NATO begins ... to disintegrate.
The declaration of the Croats that they do not want to go to war is the real beginning of the disintegration of NATO.
Yes, formally they are right (since there is no threat to the NATO country, in which case everyone is obliged to act together).
But in fact, Croatia is now denying that very NATO operation against Serbia, that is, it is undermining the bloc's solidarity from within.
Croatia, of course, will be punished, and we will see this in the near future.
And there are exactly two conclusions from what is happening.
First, there is no NATO bloc.
There is the United States and a bunch of protectorates that trade sovereignty for the right to see American planes in their skies.
And second, there is no real threat.
Because in the face of a real threat, warriors do not scatter to their homes under the warm side of a soft wife.
Or under the soft side of a warm wife.
It's a pity that in this ridiculous story there is only one Ukraine.
Which is now in a catastrophically hopeless situation.
Everyone has already declared war, I myself saw it on TV.
And this war will be on the territory of Ukraine.
Its participants will press buttons on the remotes, and all these high-tech weapons will fall and explode in Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk and Kiev.
Well, of course, if it comes.
So I don't want to believe.
