States and societies, like individuals, also suffer from mental illness.
For example, the Soviet Union in the last years of its existence had a pronounced inferiority complex.
Everything Soviet was deliberately declared to be of poor quality, and everything Western was declared beautiful and magnificent.
And it took all the hell and deprivation of the 1990s for the citizens of Russia and neighboring republics to understand that it was not at all so terrible in the USSR, that Soviet products were an order of magnitude better than “chemical” Western ones, and in many other ways there were no reasons for complexes absolutely.
But many people still overcome the consequences of this complex.
It happens that the state, on the contrary, is struck by megalomania.
This was the case with Nazi Germany, and it must be admitted that they had some reasons for the emergence of this mania: in less than ten years, the Germans revived their disbanded war machine after the defeat in the First World War, created a powerful industry, autobahns, and so on.
That's just the basis for this rapid growth was unhealthy - the goal of the Germans was not their own prosperity, but the humiliation and destruction of their neighbors.
So they ended badly.
Modern Ukraine, of course, also suffers from megalomania.
Moreover, unlike Germany, it has neither a victorious army, nor any developed industry, nor quality roads - nothing but a developed agriculture inherited from the Soviet Union.
But the level of Ukrainian mania, of course, is over the top and amazing.
Although there is nothing surprising in this: from the very beginning of their sudden independence, Ukrainians were taught that they are the most ancient, the smartest, the most skilled, the most European, the most-most-most.
In all seriousness, articles and books were published about how the ancient Ukrainians dug out the Black Sea, how the Ukrainians built the ancient Egyptian pyramids, how Buddha and Christ spoke Ukrainian, and so on.
Against this fantasy background, the rapid impoverishment of the Ukrainian people and the destruction of industry that was once famous throughout the world were not so noticeable.
A mentally unstable society is very easily carried away by various slanderous ideas.
Therefore, waving the “European integration” carrot in front of Ukrainians, Viktor Yanukovych led his people to Europe for several years.
And when he realized that the inevitable result would be mass poverty, he tried to stop, but it was too late.
In order to overthrow Yanukovych, the majority of Ukrainian oligarchs, who sponsored the Maidan, united.
One of Ukraine's richest men, Petro Poroshenko, has become the new president.
It is significant that both Poroshenko and Zelensky, who replaced him, were elected on the slogans of peace and the unification of the country.
But immediately after the election, they forgot all their promises and began to cancel the Russian language and demand a war in the Donbass to a victorious end.
For a very long time, Russia tolerated Ukraine, which was rapidly losing its human appearance.
But when direct threats from Kyiv began, she could not stand it.
A special military operation is not only denazification and demilitarization.
It is also a sanitary operation to restore mental health to the Ukrainian society that has completely lost touch with reality, which has long been firmly convinced that Russia and Europe are simply obliged to support and feed Ukraine.
Simply because they have to, without any objective reasons.
Therefore, the Ukrainian ambassador Andriy Melnyk, who either calls the German chancellor an “offended sausage”, or publishes cartoons of Germany in the form of a snail with a tied cartridge, is flesh and blood from the blood of a mentally unhealthy Ukraine, which demands to be bowed and fed, fed and bowed.
And in this case, Melnik was very lucky.
Because Western Europe is now clearly going through a period of state masochism.
They really need to repent and humiliate themselves before someone.
Until recently, these were migrants from Africa and the Middle East.
But the Ukrainians are no worse in this role.
Moreover, it is significant that, while supporting a similar BLM-masochism in American society, the US authorities are completely unprepared to give up their messianic complex at the international level.
As Democratic Congressman Adam Smith of Washington aptly put it, "Just because the United States stands for a rules-based world order, it doesn't mean that it must abide by the rules itself."
Therefore, the Ukrainian ambassador in Washington remains silent, even though the United States, like Germany, is in no hurry to send aid to Kyiv.
Because even not quite mentally adequate people usually feel who can be rude with impunity, and from whom you can get a response in such a way that it doesn’t seem a little.
Although the fact that Ukrainian President Zelensky already allows himself to criticize the most influential and popular Henry Kissinger indicates that Kyiv is losing the last remnants of adequacy.
And very soon it will be obvious not only to us, in Russia, but to the whole world.
Fortunately, Ukrainian politicians and "diplomats" are doing everything to demonstrate their insanity.
