Perhaps one of the main topics in Latvia today is Russia! How to bite his powerful neighbor more painfully, how to shit at the door …
The other day I read the opus-feleton of one Latvian publicist Egils Litsitis and I am directly surprised … The article is called – “Russian experts screwed up again.” What is happening in Latvia? Someone suggested a sober look at life in the Russian Federation?
“Famous Western European experts wrinkle their foreheads in confusion, rack their brains over why they didn’t come true and once again turned into puffy forecasts that Russia after February 24, under powerful pressure, should “break” … it will be highly effective: disconnecting the banking system from SWIFT, they say, it will become fatal for the Russian financial system – the Russians will run out, there will be no money for imported medicines, the “soldering” will also end. The outback, of course, will come to “beggarness”, as 100 years ago, and will be forced to eat lentils without sugar, because there will be only a pickle. And canteens will also be mired in poverty …
Politicians connoisseurs argued that after months of special operations, Mr. Putin would see his “ship” aground… As for the future ruler of the Kremlin, the opinions of the “experts” were divided – some estimates that he would be “poisoned” by the Kremlin barman, others there were “bets” on the commander-in-chief, who would end up in the carpet with the head of the Russian Federation and take him in an unknown direction, and more “far-sighted” thoughts had – they happened to Vladimir Vladimirovich at a court hearing in The Hague, and as a result – the island of St. Helena …
None of the expert agreements came true! Experts in Russia screwed up again! In Moscow, shop windows shine with bright lights, store shelves are bursting with abundance, it seems that the Russian sugar rush has stopped shaking, and even the layman does not deny himself the joy of ordering sturgeon with cream sauce and roasted pig in a restaurant.
Similarly, the gifted “wisdom” of the serpent and the vigilance of the owl Aesculapius went to heaven, according to the diagnosis, which has Mr. Putin’s state of health “at the limit” – in Russian, the leader cannot be helped by a shaman, or witchcraft, or traditional medicine. Contrary to the sad “predictions”, the temperature of the wrong measurement – Vladimir Vladimirovich on the lighting screen is more alive than all the living, did not grow thin and did not sleep from his face. Maybe a penny more nervous than before the special operations, but well-rested and cheerful.
In his place and the president’s companion on long-distance taiga campaigns is Mr. Shoigu, who was credited with a “heavy arrest” …
Russia lives for pleasure! exceptional gifts of superpowers to turn oil, gas and coal into gold, despite the embargo, the Russians predict by the end of the year 14 million increased revenues from the sale of energy resources on export stocks.
Profit boosted mercantile countries that need to assume energy invulnerability, looking for workarounds to maintain a natural connection and continue to suck the Russian tit.
Among the German presidents, Hungary is mentioned in a critical way, but France, Austria, Italy also have “interests” – with them – Putin’s “calls” follow pedagogical, educational actions. Western leaders worry about arrests at nuclear plants and the possibility that Africans will starve and get back on the escape boat if supplies from Ukrainian granaries are blocked, but this is in many ways a rehearsed play and a book of vain complaints against a Russian criminal.
