another round of fun “you were warned – you did not want to hear”, a brief reminder for those who wish to actively participate in the discussion.
Trust your own
I will repeat this regularly. For none of ours, who are really in the process, can reveal even 1% details. But even those details that are already known (mainly from the Western media) are more than enough for understanding – kind, beautiful, but other people's uncles and aunts at every step do not finish speaking, distort, wishful thinking. Because they solve their problems.
Once again I pay attention to what our diplomats, not politicians, say. Which are usually generally silent. But lately, there have been moments when they cannot be silent.
For interest, open, for example, an interview with Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov (still in the status of Deputy Prime Minister) to the respected Liga publication dated … September 2, 2021. Remember, there was such a month in a past life? September. So. It highlights topics for which they were not “prepared” even then – aviation, air defense/missile defense and ensuring freedom of navigation.
Even then, non-publicly, at various levels, they informed everyone who had ears – hello, do you realize what the blockade of our ports will lead to? In December, Reznikov (already being Defense Minister) wrote publicly about the consequences of the global food crisis. It was hoped that if it did not enter the brain through the ears, it might enter through the eyes.
“Unpreparedness”
As elements of “unpreparedness” in November, in addition to dozens of other issues, discussed during the visit to Washington, the topic of the visit of the US monitoring mission to analyze the needs of our air defense was forced. And the mission came and looked. There was even news about this…
As elements of “unpreparedness”, in addition to the systemic things that Dmitry Kuleba highlighted (sanctions and so on), there were many very applied ones. For example, to place groups of Western “librarians” in Kharkov, Mariupol, Kramatorsk, Kherson, on Serpentine Street. Or “ornithologists”. Or entomologists. Without weapons.
That would be a very clear signal. After all, this is peaceful Kharkov, not Kandahar. What is the problem? But this is not possible. Note that this is November. But even then it is impossible, and it is necessary to urgently carry out “Minsk-2”. Urgently! Although at that time the concentration of troops was less than in April 2021
Weapons are also not allowed. Because “impossible”. “Stingers” is impossible because “forbids the law.” Minister Reznikov directly asked – “What do you mean? So change the law!”. But changing the law is also “impossible.” And generally speaking. Weapons are dangerous because they can escalate. As you can see, the laws have not been changed, and there has been no escalation. Jackpot.
The most wonderful. A few days before. “There will definitely be an invasion! – Are you sure? – 1000%. – If you are sure that there will be an invasion and nothing will change, why aren't sanctions and other preventive measures introduced? – It's impossible! – ????? – This can lead to an escalation! – I mean, to an invasion? – Yes! – So you say that it will definitely happen?! – uh…”.
Not to forget
If you just write in a column wonderful facts and magical manifestations, over time they become clear.
For example, the phrase “Nord stream-2” and everything that was spinning around are undeservedly forgotten. From the latest: how the most Orthodox country in the world blocks a package of sanctions, demanding that Mr. Gundyaev be excluded from them. , but I want to drink more often. I also want a saber and a couple of weeks of creative leave.
In general.
Now all mental strength should be thrown into solving current and future tasks. You will always have time to ostracize or wheel all those who “did not hear”. It is better to do it after the victory. Because some of them are really a little busy now.
