Now you can’t check, because there is practically no one to ask, but Evgeny Primakov claimed that on the eve of the second war in the bay, meeting in Baghdad with Saddam, he handed him an oral message from friendly Moscow. And in it, the President of the Russian Federation seemed to advise President Iraq, in the name of love for his people, to resign. He, silently listening to the messenger, patted him on the shoulder and left the room. Further is known.

The described scene causes some doubts for the reason that the world community in those days, including Americans, did not insist on the departure of the Iraqi national leader. The world community put other conditions that did not seem impossible. In particular, it was about the fact that the UN inspectors were able to confirm or refute the fact that Saddam has chemical weapons. The very one that was subsequently found. But the Iraqi president considered these requirements offensive and, choosing between the war and the inspection, preferred death. For themselves, both thousands and thousands of compatriots.

A similar choice today is made by Kim Jong -un, and in a situation, on the one hand, much more dangerous for him and the North Korean people, and on the other, much more comfortable. No one is going to send any inspectors to Pyongyang. Ultimatumov about the immediate rejection of weapons of mass destruction, no one also makes him. The DPRK is a nuclear power, and humanity has long come to terms with this non -marginal reality. Nobody stutters about the resignation. Kim’s sedimented from permissiveness is asked to uninstall and stop missile tests with imitation of nuclear strikes in neighboring countries, otherwise it will be bad . And he does not calm down, and the excited girl in his TV almost every day informs the happy northern Koreans about new and new successes in the bomb construction and how soon their military-space troops will erase America into the dust.

Meanwhile, humanity is already losing the remnants of its angelic patience, as for America, then there are almost all the authorities close to Trump, the authorities directly say that diplomatic games are over and the word is about to be given to comrade Mauzer. That is, the head of the Pentagon, General Mattis, who will take care of the re -education of a young leader. And this translated from American to a public means a war, most likely nuclear, for Kim Jong -un has already promised everyone to kill a hydrogen bomb that he was finally believed. Despite the fact that even these days and hours it is not too late for him to stop, but to imagine that he will give in and at least temporarily put aside his deadly toys is not easy. There is not enough imagination.

How to explain such bad behavior of individual dictators, which can still be called suicide? Unlike others, such as Ayatollah and his "frantic mullah" in Iran, who still have the mind to moderate the pride at the last moment and conclude a deal. Why are the Fuhrers like Saddam, Gaddafi, Kim stubbornly and consistently strive for death, carrying miserable fellow tribesmen along?

There is a version that they themselves are hostages of their own ambitions - and if they show weakness and compliance, then their subjects can be very surprised and the closest associates of tyrants sweep away. However, practical experience does not confirm these speculative constructions. In the end, both the Libyan leader and Iraqi during the war were handed over to generals who did not want to die under high -precision bombs.

And in North Korea, a total zombie people generally do not distinguish defeats from victories, and if tomorrow the same excited girl tells the citizens that the war is completed and Kim Jong -un cavalry straightens tired horses near the White House, then it will be possible to freeze the nuclear program. And if there is a general who will perceive this news without gullibly hut in a happy hysteria, he will be shot from the gun, and if some uncle of the brilliant commander dares to look at the nephew, then the uncle will be scorned off to the dogs. In short, the technique is debugged, and nothing seems to prevent Kim from protecting himself and not to dream of a nuclear mushroom over Florida.

But he dreams, and in reality, and in the nightmares of him, and in his actions the upcoming death of the DPRK is reflected. And the trouble is also exacerbated by the fact that humanity equally terrifies the war, and its consequences in the case when the proud young man with its generals and soldiers will destroy and millions of inconsolable refugees will run to neighboring countries. From North Korea - to the southern, to China, to Russia. The world did not yet know such humanitarian disasters and did not want to know, but it is overcome by turning the Juche empire into a scorched desert, and this, unfortunately, is completely excluded if Kim tries to smear in an ammeline in America. Or they will tell us that he tried, but they will immediately give up to try not to try. But there are no refugees - there is no problem.

The solution to the irrational behavior of dictators of a certain type, apparently, is that the unlimited stupidity and the arrogance of them are combined with an infinite courage and hatred of strangers. They are really hostages, only the environment has nothing to do with it. This is a specific character warehouse that politicians, political scientists, psychologists, journalists are unsuccessfully trying to comprehend. This is fearlessness of a special kind, multiplied by anger, but such a power and such a scale that it rustles the remnants of the mind and suppresses a sense of self -preservation. And this hatred, which makes us strive for war with a previously known result, is akin to passion for self -destruction.

Saddam, because he interrupted the conversation with the visiting well -wisher if she had a place that he was bursting with the desire to fight with the Americans. And no one dares to approach Kim with such exhortations, although some backstage negotiations are still underway. Only he himself can take the score that he went to the days and watches, sitting alone in front of the mirror and clenching his fists. Only the glass telling the truth is capable of looking into his eyes, honestly informing about what is happening, gently hinting that he got everyone and the reckoning is almost inevitable. Until the massacre began, there is a hope that his skin, suddenly remembering Saddam, he will still take care.
