Kings without cabbage
Remember this expression - "Banana republics"? This is from O. Henry’s novel “Kings and Cabbage”. There was such a small but proud country, the main occupation of which was the supply of bananas to America. And then one day this country told the American - the bunnacor that the government is not satisfied with the price of 6 cents for a bunch of bananas - too cheap. "... In this case, your government is not happy with us," said the American.
And the government changed ... and then, if necessary, changed repeatedly. And every new ruler, who came to power, began his rule with the same words at the rally: "It is enough to feed the people with promises !!! It is time to get for work!" But the price of bananas above 6 cents per bunch did not rise ...
A lot of time has passed since the times described there. But the expression firmly entered into circulation-as a symbol of countries that have imagined something about themselves. And today - which countries are the most proud and independent? The question is adultery, by the way. After all, if there are non -self -state countries - "banana republics" that dance to someone else's pipe, then there should be proud and independent countries, right?
Here I personally only hear in recent months that Europe is dancing under the tune of the United States with its sanctions against Russia. Well, Ukraine - that in general ... Back in the Russian political environment, there is an opinion that all sorts of Saudi Arabia and Kuwaiti are also American henpecks. They were ordered to collapse the price of oil in order to upset Russia, and they are happy ...
What happens then? Who is the main enemy of all progressive, proud and independent? - Right. USA.
Who puts his nose into all political holes and tries to dictate his will to everyone in the world? “They are damned.”
Why do they do it? - But this question of a real Russian, a patriot and an adherent of Orthodox values, is at a dead end. And since the Russian does not like to be in a mental impasse, he, as a rule, begins to call on. Because in your argument to go further than "seize natural resources" and "enslave everyone", the Russian is not able to. It is difficult for him ... you need to think for this. Read. Analyze. And this ... unusual and boring. Moreover, "Russia-24" and "Channel One" will explain everything so, without reading and thought. So the Russian curses for the fact that the rent and the metro travel rose, whom? - America.
There is such a saying: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Or more accurate: "Who are you friends against?" To be friends against the main enemy of proud and independent became (in my opinion) a red line of Russian foreign policy and the main idea of internal propaganda.
Who is the main enemies of Russia? - Europe (European Union) and America. Are there any more countries to which these adversaries are also enemies? - Of course, there is. So, the first business - what? To be friends with the enemies of the adversary !! Who is we friends with the "non-wounds?"
My subjective analysis indicates that today the most proud, self -sufficient and independent countries are North Korea, Venezuela, of course, the Great Russia, and Greece rising from the knees. And what should an independent and proud people do? - Right. Three things.
The first is to declare their pride and independence in full voice and in the most decisive expressions. The whole world.
The second is sincerely and diligently hating the enemy who is trying to deprive this very proud people. The ideal option is to have America as an enemy. You can also Europe.
The third is to unite in a fit of friendship with the same proud and independent peoples fighting with an insidious oppressor.
An indispensable condition for prohibitive pride is the problems in the economy, bordering on its collapse - coming or approaching !!!
Judge for yourself.
Here, for example, the proud of the inconsistent North Korea . About food cards for half a pound of rice per month for a person and about the fact that they eat grass, many have heard. But then !!!
" ... the government, public organizations of the DPRK published the following special statement.
Due to the fact that the US aggressive machinations, infringing on national sovereignty and the highest interests of the country, entered into an extremely dangerous stage, the outstanding commander of the Mount Paktu Marshal Kim Jong -un held an emergency operational meeting, at which he signed the final plan to strike with strategic missile troops of the Korean People's Army.
This important decision of Marshal Kim Jong -un is the proclamation of the beginning of the deadly struggle, which will put the end of the centuries -old history of confrontation with the United States and open a new era.
It is worth clearly understanding that in the era of the outstanding commander Marshal Kim Jong -un, everything is different than in the past. This war will not be even three -day. It will be a blitzkrieg ... It will be a three -dimensional war that will be held in the air, on the ground and at sea.
The Korean nation, inspired by the ideas and deeds of the great leaders of Mount Paktu, will finally drop the heavy load for the centuries of accumulated grievances and will fulfill the cherished dream of reuniting the homeland and building a powerful state on Korean land, where everyone will live without envy nobody (!!!) ”
What words, huh?! .. It is not for nothing, according to the statement of Russian representatives , "... Russian-Sever-Korean relations are aimed at a qualitatively new level."
Or another proud people - Venezuela. Which the basis of the economy is oil and a pack of 36 condoms now costs $ 800 - a deficit ... And you can go to the store for products in Venezuela no more than twice a week (they put the stamp on the hand) - a shortage ... And when a truck with diapers rode around the city, the people were gnawed, and the truck was blocked and plundered - and also a shortage ... and also a factory The production of toilet paper is controlled by the army - a shortage ... but !!!
" ... The imperial power from the north entered into a dangerous stage of despair, they (USA) have already talked with the governments of the continent to announce the overthrow of my government, I accuse the Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro of this .
He also said that "... a decrease in oil prices is aimed at colonizing our country, destroy our independence and the results of our revolution through economic collapse." Like this.
And who is the closest friend and associate of Venezuela in misfortune, that is, in the oil economy? - That's right, Russia. And then - what?
"... US authorities are waging a global oil war, the purpose of which is to destroy Russia . " Thiswas announced on December 29 by Venezuela President Nicholas Maduro.
Well, since Venezuela understands the source of Russia's troubles, then Russia does not remain in debt.
"... the views of Russia and Venezuela in the assessments of the processes of global and regional politics completely coincide. This was stated at a meeting in Karakas by Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu."
And here is another proud people who have realized themselves - Greece!
" ... The end of the national humiliation of Greece is already close, and Monday will be his last day!" - So the leader of the Greek opposition, Alexis Tsipras, outlined his full confidence in the victory in the parliamentary elections in Greece on January 25. Tsipras assured his adherents that Greece would no longer be under external management, and he personally will never conduct business with politicians who carried out all the orders of Merkel and drove Greece into the debt pit . "
If anyone does not know why Greece and Tsipras decided to become proud: Greece has 135 billion euros. And lenders demand to pay them. And Tsipras said that his government would not pay, because this infringes on the pride of free Greeks. And, of course, the people are exclusively "for"! And the winner of the Prime Minister Tsipras is going to restore to work dismissed in order to save school guards and ministerial cleaners. And also - to ban the whole inclusive in Greek hotels. Because tourists with such a tourist all days lie by the pool and do not leave the drinker and from a pelvis with food, instead of going out into the city and creating a profit to the owners of shops and restaurants ...
Of course, such a manifestation of freedom of spirit could not go unnoticed by other proud peoples.
" ... commandant Aleksis Tsipras should come to Latin America as soon as possible ," said the President of Venezuela Maduro on February 8, who called the Greek premiere " a brave young man who fights against capitalist barbarism ."
I think that when the “commandant Maduro” and “commandant Tsipras” will meet, then European capitalism and American imperialism will come and the final Kirdyk will come. Because one has already driven his economy below the plinth, and the second is cheerful for this good deed.
This is also the fact that Venezuela occupies first place in the supply of oil to the United States. And Greece, refusing to comply with the saving regime, requires that half the debts be written off, and she will pay the second half someday later-but without percent !!! And now Europe should give Greece more money, because Greece does not have money and proud Greeks are not going to save ...
Yes, how is there another proud country? Which also sits on the oil needle and experiences huge problems in the economy? And also sells most of his oil to Europe and in America? ..
" ... Russia will not suit a world order with one unconditional leader who believes that he can do everything, and others only that he will allow ," said President Vladimir Putin (Interfax).
"... There is no war against our country. The war, thank God, is not. But, exactly, there is absolutely an attempt to restrain our development by various means, there is an attempt to" blur "the existing world order, led by one unconditional leader who wants to remain as such as this ," said Putin at the FNPR Congress to Sochi.
" ... If someone likes it and he wants to live in a semicups, we will not do this ," President Putin said.
What can you add here? - The trend, however ... although - you can add:
" ... Mongolia is one of the leading strategic partners of Russia," said the State Duma speaker S. Naryshkin. It is reported by "Interfax."
Imagine what the Americans and Europeans will experience when the commandant Tsipras and commandant Putin will also join the commandante Saikhanbileg? ..
