The World Cup and its enchanting final were like on another planet. They have a war for the title of king of the world between Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, we have the UAF bombing the center of Donetsk. They destroyed the only normal clinical hospital in the DPR. And they simply get away with it
Somewhere in ancient Rome and a little later in other incarnations of human empires, it was also something like this. On the one hand, simple human passions, on the other hand, grief and irrational cruelty.
The question is not that someone is right and someone is wrong. Mankind is arranged in such a way that sin is exhaustive and voluminous. The new modern Rome, aka Babylon, elevated sin into a cult, and the passion for sports is just an attempt to channel passions into a safe and commercially profitable channel. While the war is a bloody business around the desire of people to return “everything as it was”, including the cozy world of tolerable sins.
The last thing I would like to produce now is a stream of hypocrisy, but I really want to understand the nature of modern man using available examples. A modern person wants small consumer joys and sees a new world record or a goalkeeper’s save in a critical situation as the only format of a feat.
And in our yard (either in the back, or whatever is in the front – it depends on which side of the world we are now looking at, to the east or to the west) – the front, trenches and rockets fly, bringing death. Either ours or NATO’s. We have created for ourselves a situation of great change, and we are only just getting used to it.
The one who made the sole decision clearly counted on something like that. On the organization of the Break. There will be a capture of Kyiv, there will not be – it was not so strategically important. It was important to show those sitting “at the negotiating table” (G7, for example) that we are tired of a world in which Russia does not even exist as a legitimate sports power. And we will do something.
And we did something that we ourselves do not understand, that we ourselves criticize, but at the same time we perfectly feel why this all happened.
“It is impossible to isolate Russia.” That was the main refrain of our foreign propaganda in recent years. And they answered us: how impossible, it is possible! And isolated.
And they isolated themselves. Russia began to behave “menacingly, unpredictably and irrationally” in the eyes of the cozy Western-centric world, which in recent years has been building a hybrid security cage, putting us out of the brackets.
But we need to be in brackets, we want to return, we want to participate in business – and this is precisely the purpose of the special operation, “which are changing all the time.” They do not hear us in the West – we are ready to go to different extremes, including declaring war on LGBT people. Now we can do a lot, uncontrollable.
Do they understand it in the West? Probably. Are you ready to test our strength? Probably yes. After all, the West is also bored. For a long time there were no shocks. Here is perhaps the enchanting finale in Qatar. I repeat: the final or not the final, has not yet been decided.
We have unpredictability on our side. Whatever they call it, we are dangerous. Maybe it will be cheaper for them to return the flag to our sport than to wait for what this danger of ours will turn out to be. May be.
