| Moscow lured Biden to Kyiv |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Irina Alksnis [RIA] According to Western media - and confirmed by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev - the White House agreed with Moscow on Joe Biden's visit to Kiev yesterday. This naturally caused numerous jokes that the US president was forced to ask his Russian colleague for permission to travel. However, the question is much less often asked: why did Russia agree at all? President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and President of the European Council Charles The reason for the rarity of this question is simple: over the past year, we have already become accustomed to the fact that everyone and sundry go to Kyiv. Biden was perhaps the last of the most senior representatives of the Western establishment to visit the Ukrainian capital since the beginning of the NWO. But last spring, when this process had just begun, a lot of spears were broken about it in Russian socio-political and expert circles. This topic was then extremely actively and vigorously discussed, criticism was often heard due to the fact that the trips of Western leaders to Ukraine did not meet with opposition from Russia. Moreover, the arguments sounded quite weighty: such events to "show the flag" and, as it were, to stake the territory behind them, have a symbolic and propagandistic value, they should not be underestimated. However, as the months have passed, it is clear that Moscow is consistently sticking to its position: at least not to prevent such trips, and at the most, even to provide "guarantees of safety" for visitors to Kyiv. Which brings us back to the question: why? Without a doubt, this decision is based on a whole complex of very different reasons. But it seems that one of the key ones is the witty and increasingly effective strategy of Moscow's work in the information field. Moreover, this activity is aimed not only at solving certain momentary problems, but also at undermining the media-political system of the West as such. In the modern world, no one needs to explain the importance for world politics of such phenomena as "soft power", propaganda and information warfare. Moreover, it is the West that has achieved unprecedented success in these areas by building a fantastically productive machine of influence and brainwashing. That's just more and more clearly manifested fact: his own success played a cruel joke with him. It seems that on the other side they believed in the absolute omnipotence of their own creation - up to the belief that the desired media picture can cover up the "wrong" reality for an infinitely long time and in the end the real world will certainly come into line with the broadcast image. In recent years, failures in the work of this disinformation machine have been multiplying before our eyes, both in the struggle of the West against geopolitical opponents, and within itself (suffice it to recall the election of Trump or the referendum on Brexit). But this only forces its users to press the usual buttons even more furiously and believe: if one hundred more times publicly at a high level declare that the Russian economy has been torn to shreds, then this will actually happen. This fully applies to the visits of high-ranking representatives of the US and Europe to Kiev. Over the past year, did their trips have any impact on reality, on the course of hostilities or the struggle with Russia in the economic sphere? Yes, not the slightest. In essence, this is just a vanity fair, which, to a certain extent, can be used for internal political PR of the relevant persons. True, whether this PR will achieve its goals is a big question. In any case, Biden is now being criticized harshly in the United States - both for the fact that during the two years of his presidency he did not manage to reach the southern border of his own country, where the migration crisis is raging, and for preferring Ukraine to the state of Ohio . where the ecological catastrophe broke out. It turns out that it is beneficial for Russia (and other non-Western countries) to inflate the conceit of the West and its belief in the omnipotence of its propaganda machine. First, the more stupidly it is used, the faster and deeper its effectiveness falls - and this applies to absolutely any area, be it official statements, global media publications, and Hollywood productions. Once impeccable in its integrity and quality performance, the "cover" turns into tatters through which the world observes the accelerating degradation of the West and its managerial class. And secondly, the more our Western adversaries are focused on trying to use the usual, but out of order tools, the less they have the opportunity to find and use really working and more effective means of fighting against geopolitical competitors. So let them go to Kyiv. |
