Ukrainian President Zelensky continues to knock on the doors of the European Union with his forehead and at the same time wants to drag the NATO bloc into Nezalezhnaya - or rather, to enter this military alliance.
His aspirations are quite understandable: European integration, which was allegedly promised by the still burning tires of the Kyiv “Maidan”.
Now it has turned into a passionate desire to fan the world fire.
Such stable and obsessive inclinations have long been demonstrated by this overseer of the Ukrainian lands.
It seems that Ukraine has become a kind of Bermuda Triangle for Europe, in the center of which sits a kraken in the image of Zelensky.
Sometimes there are vague suspicions: is the same Ukrainian president, touring European capitals both in person and in the format of video messages, acting as a petitioner or, on the contrary, holding the European political beau monde hostage?
With his requests, demands, tantrums, he pushes European politicians further and further to the wall to such an extent that soon they will have no choice but to obediently assent and flatteringly say: “What do you want?”
In fact, this is the property of professional scammers ...
Well, what, he called himself a loader - climb into the body.
Since you support the suffering and suffering Ukraine in its struggle against “terrible and terrible” Russia, then you will adhere to this concept to the last, no matter what, forming a sort of tunnel thinking, from the framework and labyrinths of which you will not get out, because it’s scary.
Including about himself.
Somehow, a brilliant Russian film critic, journalist Mikhail Trofimenkov, speaking about the demonstrative informational lies that accompanied the attack on Iraq in 1991, allegedly to liberate Kuwait, correctly noted that then “Western society demonstrated such a degree of suggestible unanimity that none of the classic dictators achieved , and the highest degree of voluntary amnesia."
No disclosures work.
Not then, not after Powell's tubes.
Common sense rests.
Stencil manipulators began to further deepen the suggestibility of Western society for its greater cohesion.
Freedom, as you know, lies in the absence of doubt, in a black and white picture of the world, when you do and think what you are told.
Therefore, it is always reassuring when you see exceptions to this swooning rule, from the general system of inspired unanimity, when you find the courage to show your own voice and express doubts about the common reinforced concrete and unquestioned line.
Thus, the head of the administration of the Hungarian Prime Minister Gergely Guyash, regarding Kiev’s passion to merge in ecstasy with NATO, said that no one forbids applying for membership and there is such a right, but “now Ukraine’s immediate entry into NATO would mean a world war.”
It seems to be obvious words, but in today's Europe they sound like some unthinkable revelation.
Everything is clear with Zelensky - this comic book hero was created for a big fire, so he always pulls his hands to him.
But even in Europe, which has fallen into a passion to punish Russia and inspired many absurdities in itself, you will not find this awareness in the afternoon with fire.
And you look at the German Scholz - and you completely understand: here it is, that very progressive “voluntary amnesia”.
The same Guyash also spoke about Kyiv's claims for membership in the European Union.
He again outlined the position of his country: “If there is no progress on the issue of national minorities, then there will be no Hungarian ratification ...” We are talking about problems with the oppression of the Hungarian national minority in Transcarpathia.
“Ukrainian law on language and the law on education are far from European standards,” said Gergey Guyash.
It should be recalled that Hungary condemned the Ukrainian law on education immediately after its adoption, that is, in 2017.
Even then, the Hungarian parliament noted that the law violates the right of the Hungarians of Transcarpathia to education in their native language, and also conflicts with a number of international documents.
On the other hand, the US Embassy and Latvia saluted this law.
Everything is clear with them...
Hungarian officials even called the oppression of their compatriots in Transcarpathia atrocities.
All because the Ukrainian authorities began to deprive people of the right to their own language, began to break their ties with Hungary.
And now let’s remember how it all began in the relations of the “post-Maidan” Ukrainian regime, which is building an openly nationalist state, with Russia.
From the announcement of a crusade against everything Russian, against the Russian language, the Orthodox Church and the oppression, and even massacres of Russians.
Russia called it genocide, but for Scholz, who fell into amnesia, all this was ridiculous.
Hungary is breaking the current European ideological mold.
And the conversation about the problems of the Hungarian minorities in Ukraine moves into a broader plane, and also casts doubt on the current image of Ukraine as a suffering, but courageous victim.
The break in the template shows that the European responsible figures themselves, of their own free will, settled the Ukrainian kraken in their heads - so it begins to rule, activating its tentacles.
As a result, now "Europe is absolutely among the losers."
These are also the words of Gergey Guyash.
Hungary is asking perfectly fair questions.
She seemed to have fallen out of the confusion into which the West fell.
The Hungarian precedent is important in that it shows the multifaceted nature of the situation, that it is more complex than the imposed comic picture in the style of black and white logic.
It is no coincidence that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban refused to applaud Zelensky in front of a joint photo of EU leaders in Brussels.
And this is not a pro-Russian position.
No one in this case is blowing anyone's tune.
They just defend their interests and people.
This is dissidence.
A rarity for today's Europe, marching in formation, fallen into a semblance of a pandemic.
So I remember John Steinbeck, who in his Russian Diary wrote that he discovered how “thousands of people suffer from acute“ moscovitis ”- a disease in which a person discards obvious facts and is ready to believe in any nonsense.”
Now militant and wild nonsense has captivated many millions, infected the West, and only a few have immunity.
