Island and treasures

Questions cannot be mixed. This is a canon of political journalism in relation to various kinds of briefings, during which the press communicates with Newsmakers. It is necessary to ask without smearing the topic and without helping politicians to evade the answer.

In this sense, Roman Tsimbalyuk from Uniana made a mistake. He asked two questions at once. Firstly, the colleague asked Thierry Mariani whether Russian deputies should receive a French visa to visit Corsica in the event that, following the referendum, the island joined the Russian Federation. It was a good question, and then it would be worth stopping. However, secondly, the Ukrainian reporter wished to know from the French deputy how much Moscow paid for his position in the Crimea.

As a result, we did not know anything. Because Mariani did not talk about Corsica and did not share information about his Russian fees either. Having moved to persons, the vulnerable, as it turned out, the parliamentarian Tsimbalyuk called the “shit” and expressed “complete contempt” to the journalist. In short, he acted as an experienced politician who wants to talk only about what he wants. In this case, about his deadly resentment. About how he is offended by accusations of venality and he is directly covered by anger.

So the problem of Corsica remains unresolved, but this is our long -standing pain. Since the Corsican monster invaded Russia and was expelled from there, Moscow kings, Secretary Generals and presidents have undeniable moral rights to this island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is even strange that Corsica still belongs to France today.

So it would be curious to listen to the head of the French delegation in the Crimea: what does he think about this? On the one hand, Thierry Mariani is an undoubted patriot of France. On the other hand, the co-chair of the Association "Franco-Russian Dialogue", a great friend of the Orthodox Chekist Vladimir Yakunin, the second co-chair of the specified association. There is no doubt that the deputy of the National Assembly loves his country. However, he also loves Russia, otherwise he would not have pulled a resolution through his parliament with an appeal to cancel anti -Putin sanctions. So for him it will be bad if Vladimir Vladimirovich, finally ending the war with Napoleon and restoring historical justice, will squeeze Corsica? After a referendum or as in the Donbass. And if there is nothing wrong with that, then probably the visa issues related to visiting the island will be resolved in Moscow, and that is right, isn't it?

It is a pity, it is unfortunate that the Ukrainian journalist upset the co -chairman and he was not able to calmly talk about the joining Corsica to the Russian Federation. At the same time, we would probably have received an indirect answer to the second question asked by Tsimbalyuk: the money smells or does not smell. In general, as the Le Monde journalists reminded a couple of weeks ago, Mariani has a long-standing passion for traveling through those kingdoms-states where local national leaders successfully corrupt the visiting Western guests. In 2002, he went to Iraq, and in the winter of the past and spring this year met in Damascus with Bashar Assad. They also write that the Light on the rise of Monsieur “special relations” with business entities in Baku and Astana, as well as with Konstantin Malofeev, the famous oligarch and sponsor of the DPR-LNR. One gets the impression that he carefully selects them for himself, sponsors. Such different, but in some ways very similar.

By the way, this is one of the most important issues today: about the so -called useful idiots. Are they already idiots if, from their trips, statements, resolutions, they really make rich profit. And it is also important to understand why they bring such benefits to the regimes with which they cooperate. In the end, the same Mariani - this is not even Schroeder, who, of course, has achieved huge personal successes, getting into the service of Gazprom, but has nothing to do with big politics. But the deputy of the National Assembly from French citizens living abroad is an acting politician and not at all marginal. Together with him, another 54 people's deputies of the lower house of the French parliament voted against the extension of anti -Russian sanctions in April, and they hardly all are friends with Malofeev, Putin and Assad.

Apparently, it is not only about corruption. But most of all about cowardice. The fact that in the ISIS era (banned in Russia) and Putin (elected in Russia), Western society gradually abandons its basic values ​​- and if in domestic politics this gives rise to various kinds of xenophobic parties, then in the external policy it turns the loss of desire to protect the principles of international law. It can be assumed that the French deputies are not yet ready to give Corsica, but the Crimea is easily. It is better to agree with Putin, however, what to guess daily, he lost touch with reality or did not lose. It is better to betray Ukraine than to take risks, conflicting with the Kremlin. And if they also pay money for this, then the benefit is double, and what conditional sarcose or unconditional Marin Le Pen will refuse it?

It is possible that millions of Americans, preferring Trump's Trump's Trump's truth, clearly or implicitly take into account his Pro -Putin statements. The ignoramus and ignoramus, who promises to agree with Moscow, is better than a representative of a stunned establishment, who promises to pursue a strict policy with respect to the Putin’s Russian Federation. Well, how will it come to the war? The idea that the policy of total concessions will rather lead to trouble, does not creep into the heads of these voters. Equal to those for whom they vote or are going to vote. Although they have been warned for quite some time that a nuclear button at hand at a temperamental moron is a real danger to humanity. Regardless of what he talks about Crimea today and about the Third World War.

Yes, but still in vain a colleague supplemented one very interesting question for another, much less significant. Tell me, reptile, how much you are given - this, you see, was not comme il faut and, most importantly, did not allow the interlocutor to speak about the upcoming fate of the disputed island, where, by the way, the local front of national liberation has been operating for almost a hundred years. However, Roman Tsimbalyuk can also be understood. Not so often, in front of the journalist, they sell his own country, and I want to know at what price. Unfortunately, it was not possible to establish this.
