Booster dose of Russophobia
Everyone has probably already heard what a “booster dose” is. Although, in case anyone hasn’t heard it yet, let me remind you. Boost, translated from English (in one of the meanings) - push. Booster is someone who pushes.
And what does “push” in Soviet jargon mean? Remember? Right. Sell. Therefore, a booster dose is when there is something that seems to work... but it’s not for sure. But this “something” needs to be sold! You need to get money!
What do they do in such cases? That's also correct. Form public opinion. They say that without a dose you will glue your fins together, if not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow. Therefore - be equal! Smiiiirno! Stepooom MARCH!
This is exactly what all progressive humanity is doing now... excuse me, I wanted to say - all fighters for democracy... I mean, all democrats. Led by the top Democrat, US President D.B.
It would seem, what does Putin have to do with it?..
And Putin always has something to do with it!
Putin will soon attack Ukraine.
Day after tomorrow.
Or next week.
Well, maybe not the next time, but when the Ukrainian roads freeze, then it will definitely attack. Because Putin's tanks (driven by vodka-drinking and balalaika-playing bears) can only drive on frozen Ukrainian roads. They have it built into their design.
They say US President D.B. a few days ago I called a clown playing the role of the President of Ukraine and admonished him:
“Listen to me carefully! Putin will attack you soon! I know for sure! British scientists informed me! On this occasion, a plane with a powder keg has just taken off from us to you! I know you don’t have any money there, but you hold on!”
The clown, according to rumors, was slightly stunned by such impudence - and he was afraid, for what it’s worth! He is, after all, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. How can he be commanded? It’s not like playing the piano; you have to do something here. And he began to babble in response to US President D.B.:
“Well, wait... Let’s somehow calm down... Putin, of course, will attack... but that’s not certain.”
But what about Putin?.. And he, a bad person, sits there and doesn’t attack.
How is this even possible?!
They are already hinting at him from all sides. Yes, what are they hinting at - they are saying in plain text: if you attack, you will face sanctions such as you have never even dreamed of! And they add in a whisper:
“But they will not affect the gas sector, and we will not disconnect you from SWIFT either.”
Right. Because war is war, and everyone wants to make money. And, in general, they also want to sit in the warmth, whatever.
But he doesn’t, that’s all!
Like in a famous joke.
Masochist to sadist: “Hit me!”
Sadist to masochist: “I won’t hit you!”
Okay, now let's get serious.
From all the freest and most independent media, panic is pouring out in streams comparable in intensity to Niagara. Maps of future impacts are drawn. Kharkov will be occupied first. No, Kyiv. Three strikes. The Black Sea Fleet will put the squeeze on. Submarines in the steppes of Ukraine... oh, no, that’s a little different. Patriotic bloggers (not to mention), naturally, support, develop and multiply all this. Some city crazy woman put on camouflage and insists that she will now go to war so that her children can speak Ukrainian. Well, of course, without war it’s impossible to speak Ukrainian, this is well known.
Oh, by the way, about war. They say there will be war . Wait, that was a bit unclear just now. If there is , then who have we been fighting for eight years? How can Russian troops invade Ukraine if they're already there? And they are there, just ask any patriotic blogger.
Okay, these are rhetorical questions. What do we have, as it is now fashionable to say, in fact? The fact that classic hysteria is being inflated. About the same as in 2014. Do you still remember? Someone was kidnapped there (but then it turned out that they weren’t). Someone's ear was cut off (but then it somehow stuck to itself). Etc., etc. The techniques, in general, are known and understandable.
But why do this now?
And then, why do all the previous ones? To groom, cherish, support and push Russophobia in society!
Russophobia is the national idea of Ukraine. Two dozen years ago it was still formulated politically correctly: “Ukraine is not Russia.” Subsequently, the masks were dropped, and now they are not particularly shy. Without being a Russophobe, you will achieve nothing in the modern Ukrainian state. You will be marginalized.
But, like any idea, Russophobia needs fuel. Boosters!
They are all the more necessary when ideas do not all fit in with reality. Now, much fortunately for the Ukrainian leadership and the patriotic public, it is very difficult to travel from Ukraine to Russia. It's difficult, but still possible. And whoever goes, will immediately notice that the image of Russia, which is painted by the most honest and unselling media and in which any Ukrainian patriot sacredly believes... how to say... does not entirely correspond to reality. (We'll talk about this shortly.)
So, the idea has recently begun to fade somewhat. There were a lot of questions like: “How is it that we have been fighting with Russia for eight years, and for the same eight years we have been trading with her?”; “If Russia is an aggressor, then why are we fighting for the transit of aggressor gas?” Etc. In general, like the classics: “The automobile idea was extinguished and began to smoke.” Remember: how was the clown chosen? Why did they vote for him? Same thing.
And so they developed a booster dose of Russophobia. Putin's coming attack.
There is a second aspect (however, related to the first). As has long been known, “war will write off everything.” Now they have invented, so to speak, a postmodern version of this ancient truth. Putin’s attack will write off everything, even if it doesn’t take place (and it won’t take place).
There is no need to be responsible for the terrible state of affairs in the economy. Because the metro is not being built in Kyiv and is not really going to be built. For extortionate rates. No way at all. Keep silent - otherwise Putin will attack! Not even that. Be silent, because with your questions you are bringing Putin’s attack closer! You are an agent of the Kremlin!
What will happen next when Putin does not attack?
Do you think anyone will be ashamed of a pointless hysteria?
I am begging you.
These people have no shame.
They'll just develop another booster dose.
And further. And further. And further.
