In the “opian creative media” there is almost no political or even historical publication: it was replaced by pushy propaganda, which has 3 complementary currents:
* pro-American, specifically pro-bidenian, boasting strength and "efficiency" (also a fresh word) of the alleged planet leadership,
* Proukrian, we are their “servant” due to the fact that the Ukrainians are expected to fight Russia “in our defense”, and we are expected to meet their all demand,
* Anti-Russian, for hostility to everything Russian is (as though) our national duty.
The common thread of this propaganda is the claim that the "United West" (which most likely includes besides Ukrainian oligarchs) is simply a depositor of GOOD and FREEDOM, and that in the east there is an "imperium of Evil" which has revealed its weakness ("a ellipse on clay legs"), but at the same time inactive indivisibly "threats the West", in peculiar Greece and Portugal. The reliability and objectivity of political and historical comments is already the alleged large absentee, and it is improbable that he will return.
Propagandists pretending to be journalists or scientists present will no longer change their role: however, they will no longer be forgotten with the change of the "world leadership" policy, which will happen sooner or later. Why? For erstwhile this "leadership" will recognise that the forces of its enemies (and friends) have already been utilized up as a consequence of this war: its continuation brings him so far much more political benefits than losses, but this may change. The erstwhile include:
* elimination, at least, of China's economical integration with the old and fresh Europe (there will be no fresh Silk Road),
* The demolition of economical and political relations between the European Union and Russia (there will no longer be a Europe "from Lisbon to Vladivostok",
* “cover” the war of all unresolved and ever-increasing interior conflicts in the United States; however, success here is shallow and even apparent,
* Expanding the sphere of influence in Europe by welcoming 2 fresh states to NATO and political weakening of Russia in the region, which must proceed this war, due to the fact that its termination could lead to the adoption of Ukraine to this organisation.
The failure balance is besides rather long, but it does not apply to this region of the world: the large winner in this conflict is China and the full anti-Western postcolonial world, which will sooner or later force the "world leadership" to historical concessions, and then the fresh American-Russian reset will invalidate the propaganda narrative. It will besides be an awesome disaster in part of the political class, but it will change its mind: it is part of the West, where hypocrisy is the most crucial competence in this play.
Politicians who truly regulation the "United West" have already made a second mistake in fresh years. The first was the alleged “strange Russia” policy: I will remind you, then it was proclaimed that NATO would effectively deter this country from attacking Ukraine assuming that this aggression would not happen and that success could be announced. The attack occurred, the bluff failed and there was nothing left but “surprised”. Now it is promised to president Zelenski that Ukraine will be admitted to NATO, but only erstwhile the war with Russia is over: Russia will so proceed it until the anti-Russian forces of this country are completely bled out and the West's back office is used. I wonder what will run out faster: whether these "resources" or the patience of Western voters who may already have adequate expensive, impoverishment and regression. Of course, the western political “world” listening to the expanses of post-Sovetologists believes that Russia will fall into respective states. This is as likely as the repeatedly announced economical collapse of this country under the force of "cruising sanctions": does anyone remember how many of its "packages" there were?
We will most likely have at least 1 more year of sacrifices, expensiveness and regression to see that they did not make any sense, due to the fact that “world leadership” will announce another reset with Russia and we – as it has been before – will announce incurable rusophobes.
If Polish business had any influence on the form of the east (but besides Western) policy in our country, the well-being of our citizens would be equal or even higher than in Old Europe. But that is not why we have been admitted to the EU and NATO so that we can take effective care of our economical interests.
