Anatoly Wasserman: Seven sixes are not conceals ace

The contrast between the promises of terrible car capable of stopping the high-handed Russian bear, and authentic list of very careful sanctions have become the subject of many jokes. Meanwhile, it clearly proves that the country is still traditionally referred to as the Big Seven, ground to a complete detachment from reality.





For several decades, it is a unipolar world, they believe in their absolute correctness in everything and in its complete omnipotence. So now quite sincerely convinced that all must obey the slightest whim of their Majesties - and at the same time had no idea what to do when meeting with someone who is strong enough to not share is their belief.

But now for the omnipotence of left main grounds - moral. They are lies, those already to such an extent that it becomes obvious even to their own citizens, whose brains from time immemorial reliably swamped shameless propaganda. A repetition of mutually exclusive mantras like "Kosovo referendum can be carried out in the Crimea should not be" destroyed even the slightest outward signs of their moral righteousness. So now the leaders of the European Union, the United States of America and its satellites in the Group of Seven - Canada and Japan - are facing a difficult choice. If they fall away and will not show readiness to punish the Russian Federation because of unbelief - their opinion will have to ignore everything (who are counting on their own forces who hope to help the Russian Federation). But if they really apply to us the painful measures - will be affected and their own well-being. Readiness is to sacrifice something - not to mention the mobilization of all its internal forces to put pressure on us - can only rely on the sense of self-righteousness not only rulers but also ordinary citizens. But with this feeling they have every day, with every loud statement worse.

Winston Leonard Rendolfovich Spensёr-Churchill led the British government 1940.05.10 - on the day when Germany after eight months of "phony war" launched an offensive against France. Three days later, speaking in Parliament on the occasion of taking office, he said in particular: "I have nothing to offer you, in addition to hard work, blood, sweat and tears." These words were based on facts on the ground: it was clear that the German offensive was organized so brilliantly that it can not be reflected. By the way, I note the results of this offensive. Within two weeks after the start of the French army before the war as the best in Europe, in fact, it turned out to be unfit for action. The British Expeditionary Force 1940.05.26 to 1940.06.04 of evacuated from the port of Dunkirk back to the Island, leaving almost all the weapons and equipment. 1940.06.22 France fell (and for the next four years - up to the Allied landing in Normandy 1944.06.06 - faithfully supplying Germany with food, trucks, some kinds of military equipment: for example, about half of the famous aerial reconnaissance "Focke-Wulf-189" produced in the Czech Republic and one third - in France).

By the time Churchill speech in parliament ordinary Britons did not know how things are at the front. And even more so even Churchill himself did not know how these events will turn. Nevertheless, he found it necessary to warn people of impending troubles. And the people happily support it. Because all the British understood that their country is in the beginning of the conflict with Germany, the moral rights - such as the rightness can and should support the relevant efforts of all citizens.

At present the country Large (once) Seven is not - and can not be! - A nationwide sense of rightness. So their rulers can not demand from their people is not something that "hard work, blood, sweat and tears", but generally something even remotely resembling restraint. That is why they are behaving right now so strange and ironic way, writing a purely symbolic sanctions, certainly not capable of seriously hurt us. Because really serious economic measures would have touched those countries themselves, but they are not ready for such.

And for the same reason, the West is now in sight, every political change. Politicians really big and serious can not appear in the defense of an unjust cause. Their cause - wrong. That is why we will win!
