"ECA Olympiad Carter ruined the biography!"
I remembered this phrase accidentally heard by me, then another 13-year-old schoolboy, on the street for the rest of my life. Because this was the first vivid manifestation of political idiocy, which I faced not on TV, but in reality. Two adults talked - they shared their impressions from the Presidential elections in the United States, in which the current president Democrat Jimmy Carter lost to the Republican Ronald Reagan.
Carter was a convinced peacemaker, now they would say - an idealist who sincerely tried to agree on continuing discharge with the elderly Soviet Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev and the leader surrounding the leader. But to Soviet people he was remembered not by these attempts, but by his reaction to Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, expressed, in particular, in the boycott of the Moscow Olympics.
These two on the street sincerely indignant due to the fact that the American adversary for unknown reasons ruined the "Olympic Games", tried to punish "WHAT IS THE SITSED Russian Wars - you ask the silence" for the fulfillment of "international duty." And he got what he deserved. Now the United States will have a sane pragmatic president, with whom Leonid Ilyich and his gang will agree on the Nazi -Stalin concepts: this is me, this is you.
Interesting - these two survived before last year? Did the victory of the Republican candidate Donald Trump over the democratic nomine Hillary Clinton rejoiced? Did they say that the dislike of Putin and the incorrect behavior of Obama ruined Hillary a biography? What is the one who quarrels with "the Russian wars want - you ask the silence" and does not understand the beauty of the execution of international duty in Ukraine or Syria, is doomed to defeat?
Obama, according to his foreign policy priorities, was even a great idealist than Carter - Clinton, who worked in his first administration by the State Secretary, completely shared his approaches and was ready to implement them professionally. Instead of strictly opposing the Kremlin, who had already arranged a war in Georgia and did not hide his expansionist plans in the post -Soviet space and in the Middle East, Obama and Clinton started a meaningless “reboot” with Putin, which only convinced the Russian ruler of his impunity.
Putin would have to pray to Obama how Brezhnev had to pray to Carter - but instead, in the Kremlin, they decided to arrange their Chekist Olympics in the United States and help the defeat of the Clinton Revival architect in the presidential election. The reloading architect was written off in political util - how a supporter of the “discharge” Carter was written off into the scribble several decades ago - and in the Kremlin the champagne was again disconed - interestingly, the same brand that was noted by Reagan? Or then did they use their own, Soviet?
The boy, who literally opened his mouth from hearing on the street, sincerely could not understand how adults could be such frank boobs. I did not know much about life in the United States, but even a simple visit to the American agricultural exhibition, then arranged in the Soviet Union under the patronage of President Carter, demonstrated the civilizational distance between the USA and the USSR - the decades of the Soviet lag from the civilized world. I could not believe that adults believe that the Americans in their choice of the head of state are guided by some kind of boycotted Olympics and the point of view of the inhabitants of the poor underdeveloped country. But after all, these two lived in a closed world, believed non -alternative television and their native party and had the right to stupidity.
It is all the more amazing that the leaders of the country who found themselves in the open world, simply obliged to understand how the United States and what the president -republican - even the most non -system - differs in foreign policy approaches from the President -Democrat that has actually arranged. The Soviet Kremlin elders clicked on Ronald’s head, modern Kremlin “gopniks” - Donald, and the result will be the same.
