Everything except Andorra

We have amazing patriots. An ordinary patriot is rooting for the country. It is important for him whether there is justice in the country, whether there are elections in it, whether it has political parties that reflect the will, and not the authorities, and he, for example, is not indifferent to the fact that 100 thousand cars in Russia die an order of magnitude more people than in the United States, and that the average life expectancy in Russia is 14 years less than in the United States.

Our patriots are all according to the figure. The main thing for them is that America will have a way in Iraq. We have an amazing idea of ​​the greatness of Russia. Every day, zealots of Russian greatness tell us that Russia was again offended. Russia is offended either by the United States, then Poland, then the Czech Republic, then Estonia, then Georgia. It seems that from Western countries, even Andorra has not been offended by us. This is strange: a great country is not the one that everyone offends. This is the one that offends everyone.

Let's do a small experiment.

Imagine that you are a new leader of a small company and you need to reduce the states. You want to dismiss the most unreliable employee and for this purpose call your subordinates and ask their opinions about colleagues.

You call Petya and ask:

- How do you feel about your comrades?

“No way,” Petya answers.

He was a workaholic and spat on personal relations. It is important for him how they work.

You call Vasya and ask:

- How do you like your comrades?

“All are great guys,” says Vasya, “that's just Bear, Sukonok, I took my wife.”

You call Seryozha and ask:

- How do you like your comrades?

- Yes, normal people, but I don’t like Vovka.

- Why?

- And not why. I don't like the erysipelas.

Then you call Alexei and ask:

- How do you like your comrades?

And hear in response:

- Lesha hates me, Petya hates me, Seryozha hates me, Lenka doesn’t put me in a penny, they all grinned behind my back, and yesterday Peter was so rocking when I entered the office, that I immediately understood - they, my bones washed. I think that our leader would immediately fire Alexei.

People, they are different. And they have the right to everything, including an unreasonable hostility to someone specific. Well, the face does not like - and that’s it. But if a person says “everyone does not love me” is a bell.

Because a normal person does not say: "He does not love me." A normal person says: "I do not love him." With different motivations. "I do not love him because he took a business from me." "I do not like him because he is stupid." Or: "I don't give a damn about him, but I like his business, and I will take him."

But if a person says “he does not love me”, then this should be alarming. Either this person is a bandit who prepares the soil in order to dig and take away the business, or - paranoid. To pay tribute to the USSR - its leaders were bandits. They hysterical, beat themselves in the chest, like urki in the zone, shouted: "We are for peaceful coexistence, but the West does not love us!" But no matter how much the USSR was hysterical and beaten in the chest, it had a very specific goal and every Soviet man knew that the West would not love us, peace -loving and bright people, until the last Paraguayan Republic would be part of the USSR.

But the logic of the Kremlin, which was offended by everyone except Andorra, is difficult to understand in this sense. After all, the current Kremlin is clearly not going to fight with the West, if only because it is very difficult to understand where these guys will keep their accounts if they win Seychelles, Switzerland and Cyprus.

Yes. And yet. I personally do not give a damn about, amazing patriots love me or not.

I don't like them.
