We experience such hostility ...

We cannot even imagine in which they are in rage. They are the Russian power as a whole and some in it (we will not say who, because it is clear) in particular. Of course, now there will be many tearful performances, spray saliva, noble indignation, resentment. Now it turns out that it is not Obama - “schmuck”, and not Poroshenko “schmuck”, but Erdogan - “schmuck”! And much more it turns out.

But this is not the main thing. The main thing is that by and large the Russian government can do nothing. I want to do terrible, but nothing. Or you can’t. And this Russian government infuriates to such an extent that it becomes understood: the aircraft shot down by the Turks was the largest blow to Vladimir Vladimirovich's pride.

Do you imagine all the stupidity of the situation? After all, how was it before? Georgia spat in the direction of Russia, Vladimir Vladimirovich commanded - and Georgia lost Abkhazia and South Ossetia ... The frightened West rushed (in the person of Sarkozy) to bow, not to persuade Georgia ... Vladimir Vladimirovich wanted - and "Crimea". And Ukraine not only lost its territory, and also received a civil war. And also an economic knockdown, and at any moment will receive a knockout, because it depends on Russian gas and the Russian market ... or, say, Vladimir Vladimirovich Shilo Shilo, in the Middle East, wanted to screw it in the Middle East-and now Iran is preparing platforms for the S-300 ... And Bashar Assad hated by the West was reliably hidden behind the back of the Russian military-spaces The Islamic State ... And do not tickle it now to the West, and Obama, Vladimir Vladimirovich Obam, is forced to shock, because IG ...

Or insulted, say, Russians in Egypt, having destroyed the Russian passenger plane, - and Egypt is already creeping up by a small fern in front of Russia: the Russian special services are ready to allow themselves, and Russian airports at their airports were placed at their airports ... Because Russia blocked its tourist flow to Egypt, and forbade Egyptian flights to its territory. And this is a money, for Egypt is rather big ... And Egypt has to apologize and agree to everything ... If only Vladimir Vladimirovich was completely angry, but on the contrary, he has mercy.

And suddenly on you - Türkiye !! With your F-16. And at least two dead Russian military, and a shot down Russian bomber. And this despite the fact that for two months Russia will iron Syria, destroying hundreds of thousands (and maybe a million already - this is how they will decide in the General Staff) of the Islamist military facilities. And not a single loss of Russia from terrorists.

How to demolish such a shame on Russia and personally GDP? Impossible. So - delay. Forced to the world. Punish. To teach. To make it disgraced. But the trouble is: Türkiye is not Georgia, not Ukraine and not Egypt. And you can’t hit it. Because Turkey has an army under a million people. And in all centuries, the Turkish army fought, and fought very well. And besides (and this is the main thing!) Türkiye is a member of NATO. Therefore, no matter how much bubbles from anger, you can’t bring down the Turkish plane in response. And in Turkey itself - an airfield or radar - will not work out either. There will be aggression against NATO. And this is already serious.

People - exclusively in order to provide the greatness of the state, and not live comfortably and dignified

What remains? Reply somehow differently. But it is necessary to answer, otherwise it will turn out that Russia was wiped after the Turkish slap. How to answer? A lot of options! As, for example, with Ukraine or with Egypt. To block the flow of Russian tourists to Turkey, let them be impoverished there in their empty hotels. But the trouble is: Russian tourists, for all its large numbers, for Turkey, is an uncritical thing, since Russians make up only 12% of the tourist flow. Even if it is 4-5 billion dollars a year, the economy of such volumes as Turkish will stand. There, the European Union is ready to allocate 40 billion euros over poor Greece to support the economy. It will be necessary - and Turkey will help ... So this is not to break Turkey. And the fact that the Russian people will be forced either in their beloved Crimea to sunbathe, or to Thailand for frantic money to fly ... So, after all, people are solely in order to provide the greatness of the state, and not to live comfortably and dignified.

What else can these nasty Turks can do? Sanctions. There will be no "Turkish stream"! But here is a hardener: there will be no gas pipeline - there will be no sales of Russian gas. So, there will be no money either to the budget or Alexei Miller. If we make the Biak to the Turks with this gas pipeline, then to their budget too. What else is there? The nuclear power plant that Rosatom was going to build in Turkey? Refuse! But the trouble is: if Rosatom does not build this nuclear power plant, he will not receive 5-6 billion dollars of income ... And Russia will not supply uranium to this nuclear power plant, making a profit from this ... again a rake ... And the nuclear power plant will build a nuclear power plant, for example, South Korea, as it now builds in Abu Dhabi.

OK then. You can an old habitual way. Namely - Rospotrebnadzor! And now all Turkish tomatoes and tangerines were suddenly low -quality and even dangerous to health this morning, and Turkish down jackets were not at all out of fluff ... This was reliably proved by experts of Rospotrebnadzor. But, firstly, Turkish tomatoes-25% in the Russian tomato market (as well as citrus fruits). Secondly, the Turks will find who to sell these tomatoes, and we still need to find who to buy from whom: Russia has already sucked its foreign markets. And how many Russian businessmen will fall into losses on their contracts with Turkey? The only thing that calms is: businessmen are just a people. Which - look above ...

In a word, not one of the answers over which both the government and personally the head of the diplomacy of Lavors, and the Ministry of Defense, are on the clock, are on the clock. Rather, on the contrary, it is even more annoying. The fact that we scare, but they are not scared.
