Igor Aidman: "Robbery on the head"

"The State Duma approved a draft resolution on a review of the assessment of the war in Afghanistan. Now for a while the Afghan adventure, aggression, tragedy will be renamed the bright holiday of the Afghan victory. They defeated all enemies and with honor ... Drapelov, that is, returned home," the sociologist on Facebook writes.

“This is the expected, one might say, inevitable decision. Now Russia has come to the old Afghan rake in Ukraine, Syria, Tsar, Libya and further everywhere. It is not surprising that in this situation the state Duma ordered the old rake - the pedestal of honor.

The country again approaches the rake, closes his eyes and persuades himself: "Now I’ll ascend to the pedestal and they will hang a medal on my chest." Then, however, fantasy will face a rough reality and, instead of a medal, the Russians will receive a rake on the nose.

The history is rewritten by idiots and scoundrels in order to repeat their frenzy and crimes without looking back at the bitter historical experience. All Putin’s policy of recent years is walking along the old Soviet rakes, from a clash with which the USSR fell apart.

The rake of exhausting local military conflicts. The rake of the arms race with countries with an incomparably more developed economy. Western sanctions rake. The rake of expensive pompous construction and sports projects with a crisis economy. Parasical regimes support rakes in developing countries.

Robble solutions to ambitious geopolitical problems due to the welfare of the population. A rake of self -deception with a blessed television picture hiding a deepening crisis. The rake of pride and self -praise in the situation of the approaching disaster. "
