Network and exhaustion

"And the daggers need to be returned. Thank you very much. That's it, we finish this. Thank you."

Perhaps this was the most dramatic moment of yesterday's press conference . The audience came to taste, knowing for sure that Putin was able to answer questions for many hours in a row, and people still pulled his hands, shouted and waved with posters, and he was already rising. Although only three hours have passed with a little. Vladimir Vladimirovich was tired, he was tired of, and from the first minute, about which he honestly warned the audience in his introductory word. Like, "recently there was a message" and he "does not even know what else to say." But since you have all uped, read in the subtext, then let's ask.

The first question from the "most experienced participant in the Kremlin pool", as Peskov introduced him, did not improve the mood for the guarantor. Gamov from Komsomolka told Putin that "the country is very difficult," and Putin responded with a gloomy joke. About black and white in appearance, life in which the black strip is replaced by a strip of even more black. True, then he recovered, habitually noting that the peak of the crisis was passed, but the tonality was set and the depression became a decisive feeling.

It was manifested in every way.

In sudden pauses, when he literally did not know what to say - for example, about the Seagull and his famous children. In how he was the first words to justify the expenses for the war in Syria: they say, we spend no more than on exercises, but also "train". Despite the fact that the price is incommensurable, if we recall the victims of the attack over Sinai and the pilots shot down by the Turks, not to mention the victims of training bombing. And also that we are just starting to pay from the Middle Eastern War accounts. And in that wild reservation , when he, as if polemicing with Kadyrov, in his own way, twisted about the death of Boris Nemtsov: "... he chose such a path of political struggle - personal attacks and so on ... But this is not a fact that a person needs to be killed."

More precisely, Putin did not make a reservation, but talked and opened: so he thinks about his enemies, who not everyone needs to be killed. But the case is characteristic. Tired and depressed, he ceased to tightly control himself, and here is the result. Instead of a deliberate, well -calculated rudeness or sympathetic hypocritical phrase from his lips, the phrase of truth is suddenly broken. What is on the mind, then in the language, and this is a disastrous situation for the scout.

And literally everything is failed - and addresses, and appearances, and passwords. For sixteen years in a row, he scared, reassured, stolen, recruited the whole country, achieving great success in this matter, and suddenly something went wrong. Either in the Crimea, or in the Donbass, or in Syria, or in Turkey. Either somehow in life. It is incomprehensible and inexplicable, he, in principle, does not make mistakes. And now we need to report for the past year, if he was cursed, and a special affairs, which always gave him so much pleasure, suddenly turned into torture. And he, who set the records of continuous communication with the country and the world, stops raising, amazing the questioners. Since everything was sore.

Enemies with their questions about gulls, Turchak and Katerina Tikhonova. Concerned lysolers with posters like "For Mother Russia!" And this Gorbachev from Sevastopol, who wants to pronounce Stalin toasts and wear a dagger. Okay, I'll return the dagger to you.

In fact, this was really a remake of a message read two weeks earlier. But there, in the St. George Hall, he read a piece of paper, occasionally retreating from the text to amuse the selected audience with a story about how Allah deprived the mind of Erdogan and his minions. And here it was necessary to answer questions, and not all of them were agreed, it was necessary to improvise. It used to work, now it doesn’t work out, the mood is not that, and what, in fact, in addition to the hardened empty phrases, can be said about a crisis that has no end? And even the obviously prepared Hochma about the Turks who “decided to lick the Americans in one place” and shot down a Russian aircraft, or agreed on this action with the White House, gave rise to only new, painful questions, which Putin had no answer.

It is one thing if we are talking about the amateur performances of Erdogan, which NATO nevertheless covers, and the plot comes out completely different if Ankara agreed in advance with Washington. Then it turns out that for some reason the prospects of turning into a radioactive ashes are not afraid of the Americans, and what this means - God news. Perhaps, from such news and painful mysteries, the mood can really worsen very much. For life.

As a result, everything went awry. He wanted to reassure the target audience, but only increased the alarm. He gathered frankly, that is, frankly mocking, as in the good old days, to answer the most tricky questions, but more often he got down and lost the thread of the conversation, rather than gave any intelligible mocking answer. “Everything was dumbfounded, and you, journalists, first of all,” he could say, “and if you think that I know what to do, you are very mistaken. I don’t know what to do with this economy, with this war, with this country. It was black, it will become blacker. Yes, and you will disappear and get into your daggers! Thank you all, I'm tired.” However, in big politics there are its own rules that need to follow, his norms, his Polit, and he does not say anything like that, but simply turns the press conference at a glance. And does not leave.
