Recently, in the anti-Russian hype, they were wearing the stigma of "sponsor of terrorism", which they tried to hang on our country.
Now the French Foreign Ministry has decided to show itself as a trendsetter and announced the start of work on the creation of a special tribunal to investigate Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Even earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, gave the go-ahead to these processes, saying that "Russia must pay."
Just the case when the gospel is 100% true: do not judge, lest you be judged ...
They fuss.
They are in a hurry to fix their "victory" over Russia, which is in their heads and fantasies, in order to make their own fairy tale come true.
And, of course, they try to rhyme with the tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which, as you know, turned out to be a one-sided game: it sank into condemning the Serbs and justifying the Croats.
That is, everything has turned into the same cudgel of Western domination with the primacy of their benefits and interests.
But don't rush.
There will also be a new Nuremberg.
And already now, in general terms, the dock is clear.
Now we are witnessing a kind of anti-Russian race among Western countries.
They make faces, pose, swagger and pretend to be daredevils and moral authorities.
There, many want to break into the forefront in this matter, so they are trying.
So, France competes with Germany, and there is still England, Poland, a triad of Baltic sirens ... As if they are holding a European Cup of Russophobia.
They compete, but there is also a conductor who gives out tasks so that there is a feeling of a common choir.
Now France is lucky, and she is trying conscientiously to play her part.
It is clear that the civilizational confrontation is now taking place, including at the level of images, symbols, words and concepts, when the main thing is to hang a label, which immediately becomes an ideological weapon.
And in the case of an ostentatious trial, you can acquire various benefits for yourself.
For example, under the guise of trying to pocket Russian foreign assets.
Or abdicate responsibility for the well-known coup d'état in Kyiv, which marked the beginning of a chain of bloody events.
Filmed in such a way that no one would remember about it, like many games and bowing in front of Hitler before the start of World War II.
The tribunal, according to the entertainers, will finally identify our country with the concept of "crime".
In all this, there is an old Russophobic mythology about the criminal essence of Russia, which strives to destroy the Western civilizational order and law.
Now these myth-makers have seen a loophole for the final stigmatization of our country: a little sleight of hand and the efforts of the propaganda machine - and the case will be concocted.
Further, it will be possible with full right to deploy the practice of the Inquisition against everything Russian, against supporters and sympathizers of Russia.
Such are the convulsions of unipolarity.
What is this, if not another attempt to spread their ideas to the whole world, to absolutize them, to give the appearance of legitimacy?
The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov spoke about the lack of legitimacy of such an undertaking.
He also noted that Russia would never recognize such an action.
One can imagine what such an all-joke tribunal will be like, knowing the Western information policy, where the story about one Bucha is replaced by another, as if on a conveyor belt.
Where there is simply no opportunity to translate other points of view, where a dense ideological cocoon is created, in the captivity of which even the Pope begins to argue in the style of a banal racist.
Regarding the lack of legitimacy of such attempts with the tribunal, the chairman of the Committee on International Affairs of the State Duma, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Leonid Slutsky, also spoke out.
According to him, we are witnessing "a tribute to the political order of the collective West for the further demonization of Russia and the justification of its own policy of double standards."
It must be understood that demonization is a permanent process, it requires more and more firewood so that the Russophobic fever and frenzy go on constantly.
In this frenzy, their own citizens should not be able to recognize reality and face the truth, and there is horror for their politicians.
The Western consumer must stay in the flask of other reality.
This, according to the parliamentarian, “is a matter of survival of today's Western politicians in power.
Otherwise, their own voters will demolish them.”
And, again, all this talk about the tribunal is a double-edged sword, where the principle “whoever calls himself that is called that” applies.
The question of a tribunal for French crimes in Africa would be quite logical.
Are the States holy and undefiled, or do they only have the right?
So Slutsky noted: “If they took off the blindfold, they would have seen long ago that a special tribunal should be convened for the United States, which bombed independent states more than once.
Korea, China, Congo, Kuwait, El Salvador, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan.”
At the same time, we must remember that the Russian investigating authorities continue to work and collect evidence on Ukrainian crimes in the Donbass.
This work does not require haste, because it is not a tribute to the political situation, but justice and retribution.
And this real, not parodic, not speculative tribunal will take place.
Then other accomplices of the current crimes will no longer have their ostentatious arrogance.
