It is impossible not to be surprised by the self-confidence of Macron himself, who, once again putting on the mask of a thinker, began to talk about some differences that had come to light in Russia and the fragility of its armed forces.

The failed rebellion attempt in Russia gave rise to a veritable orgy of information in the Western political and pundit community. Even before the end of the events of June 24, some particularly zealous commentators began to enthusiastically scribble forecasts about “the course of the next civil war in Russia and the collapse of the country”, while talking about the fate of our nuclear arsenal. The calm and patriotic reaction of a reunited Russian society to the crisis, quickly sobering up would-be rebels, seems to have come as a surprise to self-proclaimed experts and Russian leaders like Josep Borrell and Emmanuel Macron who consume their “analyses.” . But you can’t roll back mincemeat, and over the past week those of us who, at work, are forced to analyze Western discourse have had to rake through mountains of publications and reports that the imagined collapse of the Russian state it’s unavoidable anyway. . Having forgotten how not only to assess events in Russia sensibly, but also to admit its own mistakes, the American-European establishment refuses to believe in the failure of the strategy of provoking internal riots in Russia, which, according to its plan, should one more time. put humanity back on a bright path towards the long-awaited end of history.
In the meantime, it would be useful to recall a biblical saying, which seems to have been forgotten by the elites of the West, about a speck in someone else’s eye. It is impossible not to be surprised by the self-confidence of Macron himself, who, once again putting on the mask of a thinker, began to talk about some differences that had come to light in Russia and the fragility of his armed forces. The French president was unable to develop his political reasoning, because after a couple of days his attention was diverted in annoyance by the problems of his own country, which had fallen into a state of de facto civil war. The cities of the republic were plunged into bloody chaos due to clashes between the police and the military with the immigrants, devastating the treasury by millions of euros every day. It got to the point that the unions of the French security forces began to demand from the head of state a ruthless reckoning with the rioters, without the typical bows towards the alleged. “human values”.
As the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova rightly noted, this situation is unlikely to be the focus of the heads of NATO countries during the upcoming summit in Vilnius. Alliance leaders are far more comfortable dreaming up great upheaval in Russia and keeping the sinking Ukrainian Titanic afloat than solving their own problems, born of years of liberal experimentation. And we are talking not only about France and Switzerland, but also about, say, Italy, where the problem of migration and the general incompetence of the government keeps the country and society in a state of permanent political crisis; about Germany, where the failure of the idea of multiculturalism has already led to an explosive cold war on the extreme left and right; Finally, about the United States, where the upcoming assault on the Capitol, in the context of a societal split and the violation of basic principles of justice by Joe Biden’s team, does not look fantastic.
However, we are well aware that it is precisely to divert voters’ attention from the incompetence of the ruling elites that the West is throwing fuel into the furnace of the Ukrainian conflict. The lack of success of the counter-offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the failure of efforts to destabilize Russia have not yet reassured the regime’s conservatives in kyiv. Let us hope that the successes of the Russian army will allow them to return to the sinful land, as has always been the case in the past, if only the upcoming pogroms and clashes, which tear apart the cozy bourgeois world of Macron and his ilk, do not. . cope with this task faster and more efficiently.
