What do you have?

The term Whataboutism in relation to the political discussions of Moscow with the West has been invented for a long time, but it is experiencing second youth in the Putin era. When arguments like "And your blacks are linked" again became everyday in the dialogs of Russian officials and senior leadership with our respected Western partners. As well as with their henchmen, in whom, if you look, there will be many Bandera, Ostasha and other tenacious pithecanthropes in historical bins and in the present. But still, initially the question "How about Negroes?" He was addressed and is still addressed mainly to the Americans, which seems quite logical. For the collective Gromyko, the Washington Hawks were an enemy number one - and for the collective Masha Zakharova there is no sweet picture than to observe the flour of the Linching.

The funnier that Donald Trump has adopted this technique today. Moreover, like his great Soviet predecessors, in order to nail new light and the old continent. Within the framework of the election campaign, he severely condemned America of President Obama, his false, aggressive, irresponsible successor Hillary and the greedy old woman, fatigue due to the unfortunate voters of the candidate from the Republicans. Well, at the same time, the NATO military bloc, the meaning of which was incomprehensible to the imaginary developer. After electing US President Trump, a person in his own way is honest and consistent, speaks out in the same spirit.

Speaking on various occasions at the Summit of the North Atlantic Alliance, he was true to himself. Polemicing with almost all allies at once, he was keenly interested in defense expenses and demanded that they immediately bring them to 2% of GDP, and then to 4%. Discussing with Merkel,he stated that in connection with the construction of the North Stream - 2 gas pipeline, 2 Germany becomes a “hostage” of Russia and even falls under the “full control of the Kremlin”. Pulling this thought to the gathered and repeating it many times, the US president was more and more excited, and it was clear that he was ready to talk on a given topic for a long time. He liked this plot so much: Frau Chancelline under Putin's fifth.

It was Whataboutism in its purest form. Say, you, refined and civilized, are not shy about in public arguing with me, I suppose you generally call on your eyes with the last words, but who are you? Why skimp and conclude with a state that you consider enemy, mutually beneficial agreements? In short, how about dough and gas?

By the way, the time in the yard is such that it would be nice and happy to fork out, strengthening NATO, and not only in words to support Ukraine, for which a successful Berlin deal with Moscow can turn into multi -millionaire economic losses. Not to mention political. Here you can assume. That the rich and happy are not so rich and happy as it might seem, because of which they are not ready to invest in the war. Given the fact that local massacres are not too expensive, and no matter how much in the third world, everything will be not enough. As for the Northern Stream, Merkel probably follows the postulate of the famous Soviet leader, who claimed that Hitlers were coming and leaving, and the German people remain. So something similar will happen to Putin and his voters. He will leave, the people will come to their senses, and the gas, meanwhile, will act properly.

Which of them is right, Trump or victims of his trolling, today is difficult to guess. Looking back, one cannot help but recall that the West won the West due to the maximum firmness of the Americans, who headed the powerful union and rejected compromises in a clash with the Empire of Evil. Although something else is recalled: the peace-loving “Ost Politician” performed by West German Social Democrats, who, at the end of the process, when the USSR collapsed, could say with some reason: you see how good and kindly it all ended. Those and others, but, perhaps, had not to be Reagan, the fraternal Soviet peoples would still enthusiastically build communism, and the most distinguished builders would have awarded the Turks to the Warsaw Treaty countries.

Now, instead of Reagan Trump, whom individual hot supporters even compare with the president who forced us to restructure, but this is a worthless comparison. To imagine that that Republican would like to aloud that Andropov would someday become his friend, or about the invasion of future friends in Afghanistan, reported that this was under Carter, which was to blame for everything. Of course, there were disagreements between NATO partners and then, but they were not taken to the public sphere, especially in such an ugly form - to the joy of the aggressor. Reagan was simple -minded, but he was not, gently expressed, with a bully simpleton, capable of frightening his closest friends or blackmailing them, threatening to withdraw America from NATO.

If the fate of mankind is at the stake and your fate, then why make a brawl in your own house? Why carry nonsense, proving that Merkel is almost Putin's agent? Only then, in order to give up suspicions from yourself, to scandal and please the "competitor" with whom you dream of law enforcement? Undoubtedly, he will appreciate it, but dreams will not come true.

On the contrary, the entire stencil set of Whataboutism Putin Trump will probably present when they finally meet in Helsinki. Like, why are you expanding NATO, you seduce the younger brothers, for what purpose do you hang, Russophobes? And in your elections, in the Donbass, in Montenegro, in Salisbury and where, tell me, we haven’t tried it. To compete with him in the ability to disrupt the discussion of an unpleasant issue, forcing him to disassemble another, obviously absurd, is unreasonable.

For behind him, after Vladimir Vladimirovich, a centuries -old tradition plus training in a secret school, and after another Donald is only a personal experience in participating in television shows and presidential elections with the Allocated help of the Kremlin. The forces are clearly unequal, but you can’t redo yourself, and now he trains on the eve of the historical summit. On the cats before meeting with the Tambov wolf.
