For any rational and sensible person, the world seems to have gone completely crazy, at least the Western world.The illegal bombardment led in Syria by the United States, Great Britain and France, is one of those symptoms of collective hysteria, which people still capable of using their brains find it difficult to apprehend.What do we play?
Even an excellent analyst like Emmanuel Todd loses his Latin at a certain point of his analysis of this "wet firecracker" operation, not understanding the real, hysterical and irrational side of this Russophobia which strikes the West, of the elites, untilto the people via journalists.Russophobia that he cannot completely justify in a rational way by arguments of the type "will to hide the shit under the carpet".
The West, which is named pompously "international community", to give more weight to these few dozen countries out of almost 200 than the world has once again violated the international law in which it drapes itself,As Tartuffe did it with devotion.
And Mr. Drian may well gloss on the legitimacy of France's action in these strikes, if you say before a judge that you hit a stranger because he has allegedly struck someone else, all withoutSolid evidence, you are going to get in trouble.
France can perish on the alleged blocking of the UN by Russia to justify its "action", that makes it less illegal.If the UN has been created, it is precisely to avoid such illegal actions like the one that our three pseudo-zorros have carried out in Syria.
The UN is there to settle by discussion and negotiation which was regulated before arms.If as soon as the discussions do not succeed on what they want some countries decide to do only in their heads, by wiping the back with the UN charter and international law, then whatDo they serve?
Nothing ... And that's where the danger of this kind of thoroughness and stupid actions of the West resides, which, believing itself all powerful and authorized (by whom?) To play the gendarmes of the world, BAFOUSEThe rules that govern living together on our little planet.If these rules are no longer respected by a part of the "players" then why should others continue to respect them?
The Icelanders (who are very legalistic) have a saying that applies perfectly to what is happening: "It is with laws that we build a country, it is by flouting them that it is destroyed".And what is valid on a country level is also worldwide.This is the warning that Vladimir Putin launched after this attack.
"In the event that similar actions made in violation of the UN Charter were repeated, this will inevitably cause chaos in international relations," said the president of the Russian Federation.
By dint of sitting on the UN charter and the rules that had been established after the Second World War to prevent such a carnage from happening again, the West completely empties them until they kill themby delegating them.
Not to mention the fact that Paris seems to forget that the United States has also repeatedly blocked the UN Security Council (among other things on questions concerning Israel), without that moving the Quai d'Orsay.
And this while Israel was pinned by Human Rights Watch for the regular use of phosphorus ammunition on the inhabited areas of Gaza, including a UN center which is there!In three years, these ammunitions used illegally in areas where civilians live 12 dead and dozens of injured (and phosphorus burns are anything but benign), including children.
There, unlike the Syrian case, no outraged declaration of Paris, London or Washington, no threats to bomb Tel Aviv to put an end to these war crimes, and these violations of all international conventions!
When kyiv bombes the Donetsk treatment plant (filled with more than 200 tonnes of chlorine used to purify water) with phosphorus ammunition in a proven and proven way, where are the cries of gold quay of Orsay?Because such bombings, in addition to the risk of depriving 1.5 million people of drinking water, could cause a real health, humanitarian and ecological disaster which would be much more than 40 unproven dead, if the building where thechlorine took fire !!!
When the Ukrainian army deliberately targets civilians in a repeated and regular manner for four years, and the facts are much more supported and proven than this story of chemical attack in Douma which turned out to be a false mounted from scratch, We have not seen the planes of Washington, London and Paris Bombard kyiv to put an end to the massacre in the Donbass, whose counter is much more than 10,000 dead !!!
When the United States voted to the UN against a resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism (alongside Ukraine elsewhere), and which EU countries refrain from voting on this resolution, while the'Europe and France in particular suffered from Nazism, where is the homeland of human rights?
When the United States and Great Britain violated the UN Charter by attacking Iraq in 2003 without the organization's mandate, all on the basis of completely slum information, no one went to bomb Washington andLondon to put an end to this illegal war which left much more than 40 dead !!!
When Saudi Arabia bombes Yemen, causing civilian victims by dozens to each bombing (including in refugee camps), and sets up with other Arab powers a blockade of the country which causes the worst humanitarian crisis of thePlanet (dixit l'UNU), with 7 million people on the brink of famine and a million affected by cholera, where are Western missiles and planes to stop these atrocities?Riyadh was not drowned under the western bombs that I know.Why this two weights two measures?
In the name of what or of whom the West allows himself to play the gendarmes of the world, deciding who is a dictator and who is an acceptable leader?Who deserves to be bombed, and who will not be based on the same proven or imaginary crimes?What country deserves to undergo a coup because the current leader does not do what they want, and what another can keep his president or his king/prince, provided that he agrees to the four wishes of some?
What I'm going to say now is for Westerners, whether they are members of these completely crazy elites, or simple citizens.If I speak to you by saying "you" and not "us", it is because I have already mentally and psychologically left the West well before leaving it physically.Before even leaving for Donbass, it was decades that I no longer recognized myself in what was my "homeland", and that many of my fellow citizens were already as foreign as the inhabitants of another planet.
No one, not even God, has given you authority over the world.You are only a few countries in the midst of the many other than this world.A world which is itself only a grain of sand drifting in the immensity of the cosmos alongside billions of others.
You are nothing!Neither gendarmes, nor leaders of the world, nor God!Nothing and no one has invested in a (divine) mission granting you the right to decide for the rest of the countries in the world of what their lives must be.
In the name of what would your rules be those which must apply to the whole world?Did you really believe that the world was revolving around your little navel?Again you are nothing!Dust you were, dust you will become again, everything else is only vanity of vanities.The only rules that the world must accept to follow are those that all have approved, that is to say the UN Charter and international conventions.You know, those with whom you cheerfully flash when it does not suit you?
It's time for all of you to open your eyes: the era of your glorious colonial empires is over!The Roman Empire has disappeared, the British Empire evaporated, the French Empire was dissolved, and the American Empire is in full disintegration before our eyes.Nothing is eternal in this world, nothing is permanent!And the empires, like the living beings, are born, live and die!It’s inevitable.
Your world, your hegemony collapses.And you are there to run in circles, such as hysterical hens to whom we cut our heads, without understanding that you are already screwed up.No (remaining) resources of the world do not belong to you!No you have no right to expropriate the peoples who live on the land where they are on the pretext that you need them, that you are allegedly democracies and them not, and that you have military power to take by theForce what interests you (which is nothing democratic despite all your gestures and your well -oiled propaganda to disguise all this under humanitarian goals)!
The period of hegemony to which you were entitled with the fall of the USSR ended.Yes Russia, China and others have decided to end your nuisance capacity by developing their defense means so that you can no longer be the easy targets of your greed.
And that's part that makes you so crazy.Like a dirty kid to whom his parents have never said no, you type a hysteria crisis, screaming and rolling on the ground, before hitting your unhappy sand tight who committed the crime to refuse to give youIts rake!And when other children in the sandbox are calmly interpot, you scream more beautifully, threatening to take it from them, instead of understanding and admitting that you are wrong, and that you would betterInclude properly rather than continuing to play terrors.
Why such childish reaction from people supposed to be "elites", "governess", and even journalists and therefore normally people with a minimum of intelligence?Are they all stupid, or all ripes for psychiatric asylum?This is where Emmanuel Todd fails in all his rationality to understand what seems completely illogical.
This is because Emmanuel Todd is looking for logic and rationality where there is none, that is to say in reactions that hold the subconscious much more than conscious decision.
Everyone has more or less deep neuroses, disagreements between their subconscious (its deep self) and their conscious (not to mention the persona, that is to say the image that we want to give of ourselvesTo others, personal and collective hypocrisy adding a dose of conflict).And in the West, those who run after power (and quite often get it) are among the most neurotic, the power and the money acting as powerful calming people to appease their existential anxieties from these violent conflicts that exist between the differentparts of their psyche, without solving the substantive problem.
In front of them, they have leaders of a completely different build.As Todd said, Russian leaders are of an intellectual level much higher than Western leaders.And above all, much greater wisdom from their pragmatism and their greatest honesty.Putin is the first to point regularly what is wrong in Russia, which he failed.Even before the Western media.In this famous interview given to NBC last month he points to the fact that many Russians still live below the poverty line, and he says that many problems are still unresolved.
He does not deny reality as Western leaders do, for whom everything is fine in the best of worlds if we listen to them.And above all it applies the rule of "I do what I say", which goes completely against the rule of "two weights" applied by the West.
Russia promotes international law by showing an example with exemplary patience, because Putin has understood that it is only thus the message can pass: by agreeing words and acts, not by doing the oppositewhat is said.Her intervention in Syria was done on a completely legal basis, respecting the UN Charter, and she tries to find a political solution to the conflict by putting the different factions around the same table.
Likewise for the reintegration of Crimea within the Russian Federation, which does not displease Pro-Optan sorrowful spirits has been well done in total compliance with international law (open the UN charter, andAbove all go to open a history book and look at which were the results of the referendum that took place in Crimea in 1991 and that of 1994).
And on the dossier of the conflict in the Donbass, it was Russia that made its maximum to take place a direct discussion between kyiv, the RPD and the RPL, which also pushed to obtain the Minsk agreements, and which Continue today to do its maximum to be applied, where Paris and Berlin are satisfied with soft declarations and often alongside reality (as when France has taken up this delusional Ukrainian rhetoric of Russia Aggressant country).
And this is the element that is missing from Emmanuel Todd to finish his analysis. Russia by her behavior that she wants as straight and honest as possible, plays the role of mirror for Western countries. A mirror that brings them the hideous image of what the Western Lessons (which he does not apply to himself) has become, as opposed to what Russia now embodies. And I say that without any angelism. Putin is not an angel, but a pragmatic and right man (as much as one can be in his position), and Russia is not a perfect country, but a country that believes in certain values that it is ready to defend, with patience and determination (and try to prevent the situation from going through a new world war and ending in nuclear conflagration is one of them, hence the very great patience and restraint of the Russians that many take for weakness). Nothing and no one is perfect in this world.
But when the countries that boast of being democracies, turn more and more dictatorship while imposing their rules in the world, and find themselves faced with a country that makes the exact opposite of what they do, everythingBy applying what they claim to defend, this is where the point of cognitive dissonance reaches.
And we come back to this story of neurosis.There is nothing worse for a neurotic than being brutally put in the face of his internal contradictions.Because most people are not honest enough with themselves to deal with the reflection that the mirror brings them.They prefer to hide, do as if they had not seen anything, or worse, break the mirror, to no longer have to face this hideous reflection of what they really are!
And by its insistence to defend international law, until almost embody it in a symbolic and psychological way, Russia has become this mirror which brandished before the eyes of the West the putrid reflection of its vanities and its crimes committed toname of these same vanities.And as any neurotic reaches at an advanced stage, the West reacts hysterically, preferring to spit, and even try to destroy the mirror, rather than solving the problem at the source.
You can insult the mirror, cover it so as not to see it, or break it will not change the reality, that is to say what you have become: an empire on the decline, decadent and neurotic,Devoured by his internal contradictions and his inability to question himself and admit reality.
The planet has limited resources, the way we currently live is not sustainable in the long term, and you will not be able to monopolize what remains to continue a little to have your "dose".
I am addressing everyone, simple citizens, journalists and political elites.In your completely crazy flight forward not to see this putrid reflection in the mirror, you are ready to cause a global conflict with declarations and completely hysterical acts because you are simply not able toquestion you !!!
Human beings is allegedly the most intelligent animal on this planet.Stop asserting this as being an established truth, while your daily acts prove the opposite!Prove it !Use your brain, good god!
For once in your life, face the mirror, accept the not very bright reflection that he sends you, face him, and decide to change what is wrong with you rather than trying to destroy the mirror!Russia is not responsible for the deplorable state of the West and the values which it claims to defend (while trampling them on the feet).You are all individually and collectively responsible for it!Yes you !
And do not come to bask me with these stories of "they have power, we no"!Tyrans are only big because we are on our knees, said Etienne de la Boétie very rightly!Stop dragging on your knees, complaining that your knees hurt you!Raise yourself!You are billions, there are a few thousand!They have no great power, they only have the power you give them!Their only power is the one you give them!
And if you believe that you alone can do nothing, remember that it is small drops of rain that gathered end up forming rivers then immense oceans, whose strength is immeasurable.But for that, you must first make sure that the reflection that the mirror gives you want to look at yourself in it.And that is only you who can do the necessary work on yourself!
Today we are at the crossroads.You have the choice !Leave to make completely neurotic elites and peoples, to mutual destruction, for oil, gas, metals, pieces of paper, and a little power that calms their existential anxieties;Or take your destiny and that of the world in hand, to offer your children a better future in a more balanced world.
It's up to you to decide if you want to descend into the burrow of the white rabbit and go to the other side of the mirror, where if you prefer to stay in your reassuring illusions, until the matrix in which you live collapse under theWeight of its internal contradictions and the constraints of the real world, and that the crazy train in which you embarked crashed against the wall of reality in the middle of the field of ruins that the world will have become.
