The escalation of tension on the Russian-Ukrainian border continues, but nothing is available for direct observation for the layman. Firstly, it is a large-scale and slowly developing process in space and time, which, in principle, cannot be covered in principle. Secondly, the real state of affairs in the military sphere is classified, and no one shows anyone much, so there are evidence of random people in the genre “tanks rode past us”, satellite pictures and endless rumors, as well as their refutations. Thus, most of us observe not the escalation of the very itself, but the stories about it those who insist that he is literally watching her with his own eyes. As I already had to write , many of these observers actually do not observe anything, but simply fulfill their official duties in the department of propaganda of one of the countries involved in the situation.
All this specific design of the virtual war on the Internet leads to many curious phenomena, which for years can and should be analyzed by specialists in various areas of manifestations.
Real international politics is not at all the same as everyone would like to think and how it is shown in thrillers and blockbusters. So what is happening right now between Russia and Ukraine?
Russia has gathered a fair group of troops on the border and puts forward a variety of requirements for the United States and generally the Western world. These requirements are strange, and if for anything good, then only for posing the first person with spectacular gestures: they say, shake Biden by the tie - let's answer immediately! Well, for endless discussion of all this gestures in special propaganda shows.
The problem is that the entire media benefit of the ultimatums sent to the west is quickly extracted, and now you have to repeat it again and again what has been said earlier. And the longer it lasts, the more bewilderment the public. "When is we jacket in Washington?" - She is interested in the mouths of Margarita Simonyan. But with this everything is not so simple that in turn it is not so easy to explain primarily a part of the audience in Kyiv and the bombing of Washington in anticipation of the victorious procession in Kiev.
Ukraine is trying to protect itself from returning to the zone of Russian influence and generally squeeze out of the situation maximum bonuses for itself. This is quite logical, in the modern world any country dreams of being at the center of international attention - this in itself helps to solve many issues. However, according to some signs, one can also catch the growing irritation of Ukrainian elites to those where everything moves: one thing is to receive from all sides to the toss help and invitations to various respected international clubs, it is completely different to realize yourself with the same stick that they poke into the already rather evil bear, and understand that no one really sorry for the stick.
