Politicians also joke, although sometimes without warning, and here a simple -minded listener must be on the alert. And then many, as I noticed, believed when the unnamed, but dedicated recently source in the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation has impeged something about the nomination of Julian Assange to the Nobel Prize of the world. Even the assumptions were expressed that they were completely dull there in the Kremlin.
And it was a thin multi -vector hokhma with elements of mockery and black humor. On the one hand, the source shone over the Americans and the British, who imprisoned a fighter for freedom of speech in the dungeon. And also over the fighter himself. On the other hand, it was a mild pass to Chinese comrades who did not find places for themselves after the Nobel Committee in Oslo declared a laureate of the political prisoner Liu Xiawavobo. Say, if you reward the Sideltsov, then do not forget about the captured Australian hacker. Funny, right?
Last Wednesday, this cool plot was developed by the national leader. Answering the question of a French journalist, he was pleased to shive through democracy, and in America, and on Assange. Having burned about them about everyone, Putin further acquainted the reporter with our rustic folklore about the mocking and silent cows, and concluded a dialogue for sports news. “That's what I want to send our American colleagues to a return puck,” Putin said. And, most delightful, he did not add a word about Khodorkovsky, he resisted.
And there are jokes that are pronounced with the face of sad, crushed, even angry. This is perhaps the highest class of political humorism. So only the most advanced from politicians - diplomats are able to mock opponents.
Yesterday, the master class on a given topic was held by the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov.
Sergei Viktorovich looked truly shocked. Well, how is it, gentlemen are good? We, comrades from NATO to you, reached out a year ago, we wanted to "overcome the dead end", President Medvedev himself trustingly came to Lisbon to "approve important documents", and you? It turns out that on the same days, NATO politicians developed a treacherous plan for the protection of the Baltic and Poland countries from Russia. What we became aware of completely by accident, from the documents published on the WikiLeaks website.
What happens? “It turns out,” Sergey Lavrov said sorrowfully, “that NATO with one hand ... agreed with us about the development of important documents that concerned a joint partnership, with the other hand they made a decision behind us to defend themselves.” And how now to live in this world, we will continue the speech of the minister, where they rule the ball, lies and hypocrisy? Who to believe? Who to love? .. You are animals, gentlemen! In short, “Moscow expects an answer from NATO regarding leaks according to the alliance plan,” our foreign minister told reporters. With a stone, as usual, face.
I think he began to laugh right away, as soon as the journalists left with their recorders and cameras. You can’t keep this in yourself for a long time. To imitate anger and pretend that NATO plans to protect their wards from external aggression became known to Moscow only from the plums of the London Sidelz - and asymmetric plans associated with the protection of their allies were not prepared in the Russian headquarters. The most, as if to say, is ridiculous in all these Old Testament strategies in the fact that they are suitable only for the backwall. If, God forbid, Russia will clash with NATO, then the war will last several hours and do without tanks, aircraft and other scrap metal. What Moscow is known as well as in Brussels and Washington.
In general, having appeared in our sinful world with his scandalous revelations, Julian Assange opened a new page in the history of diplomacy. Now, reading the documents stolen by him and using them for their own purposes, US opponents can practice acting for years. If, for example, the priority of this day remains a reboot of relations with America, then we can talk about "funny reading", as Lavrov himself recently evaluated by WikiLeaks. And if you want to exacerbate these relationships, then, of course, it is difficult to resist the temptation to throw a cow's cow through the ocean.
As for the Nobel Prize for Assange, here we still need to think about the nomination. Still, a human rights reward will hardly be appropriate when it comes to a professional provocateur. By literature? But then there will not be enough money for the entire author's team. However, there is another Shnobel Prize, which is awarded for achievements that cause a healing laugh among the public. However, in this case, judging by the latest news, the Assange will have to be divided with Lavrov, Putin and an unnamed source in the Kremlin administration.
