Putin’s plan to split Europe unraveled

Why spring for the President of Russia will come in winter

An open faucet with the letter “H” (“H” – heated, “C” – icy) snorted in the morning, spat water, fell silent and dried up. And for almost a week now I feel almost European (almost – because it’s not a problem to heat water, I have cheap gas and cheap electricity). Yes, and it’s good that almost. Because, as Western analysts guessed last week, Putin’s cunning plan has been prepared for real Europeans. From myself I will add – not only for Europeans.

At first I did not believe it when one of the small sensations was the announcement of the visit of Chancellor Scholz to the turbine for Nord Stream. It even sounds like nonsense – he will go to look at the turbine. But Scholz arrived. He walked around, thoughtfully looked into some hole, clicked his tongue, patted his warm silvery side and said: “Wow, good!”. In principle, any mysterious unit could have been shown to the distinguished turbine specialist Scholz: an aircraft engine, a compressor station for jackhammers, or a semi-disassembled Belorus tractor. It didn’t matter. It was important to show how European politicians care about the population, to explain once again that it is not the sanctions imposed by Europe, the United States and the sing-alongs that interfere with gas supplies and create an energy crisis, but the Russians maliciously screw the valve. Well, what a good turbine – why don’t they take it for themselves, even though we forbade them to take it?

Meanwhile, the decision on a pan-European reduction in the consumption of Russian gas by 15% came into force, and at the same time, the head of European diplomacy, Borrell, said that the European Union cannot say unequivocally whether there will be enough gas in the EU for the coming winter and whether citizens will be able to pay for it. Is it already bipolar or not yet? In Britain, they announced the need to take a shower at least a minute faster, otherwise water shortages cannot be avoided, in Germany they create teams to search for organic waste in garbage cans in order to extract gas … You can list for a long time. And how will Scholz’s visit to the turbine help? Even at the level of propaganda, as it turns out, it does not help in any way. Half of Europeans blame their governments and energy companies, not Russia, for rising energy prices, Spanish newspaper Mundo reports, citing a poll by the Euroskopia alliance. The survey was conducted in Austria, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and France.

And now the Wall Street Journal writes “Winter in Europe could be spring for Putin.” Reveals the plan. And the point is this: high energy prices cause difficulties that will lead to unrest, and people will start voting with empty wallets. And Putin’s ultimate goal is “to bring to power governments that do not intend to support Ukraine and split the Western coalition. The strategy is already working. The right-wing party withdrew from Italy’s ruling coalition, citing the “terrible choice” Italian families face: “pay the electricity bill or buy food.” This forced Prime Minister Draghi, who supported Ukraine, to leave.” Do you hear how deceitful?

If only this treachery was limited to Europe… It is just right to believe that Petrov and Boshirov did something to Nancy Pelosi, so that she firmly sided with the Kremlin. Well, or went crazy with happiness. Because the consequences of her visit to Taiwan were expected for all who are in a sober mind and solid memory. China blocked the island with military exercises (only Buddha and possibly Comrade Xi know when and how they will end). America immediately began to demand “not to escalate”, but they don’t answer calls from the Pentagon in China – it’s too late to drink Borjomi. Taiwan started exercises in response, but as a result, set fire to its own forest, and now the military is extinguishing it. It seems that the policy of “one China” will soon get a real embodiment, which means that the Celestial Empire will become the world hegemon in the production of “new bread” – processors. Well, the main thing for us is that no one has ever pushed China into the arms of Russia like Pelosi. Maybe they will give her a medal, or even the Order of Friendship of Peoples.

Because of Taiwan, everyone forgot about Ukraine a little. And a reminder of it that came out this week – an Amnesty International report on the unacceptable methods of waging war by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, using their own population as human shields – was wildly disliked by both political Ukrainians and the Russian liberal intelligentsia. Well, who will like it when Western masters, who seemed to be such reliable friends, comrades-in-arms in the fight for democracy, suddenly press the toilet button? They begin to merge what, having fulfilled its function, becomes a burden. Plus, questions of suppliers begin to arise for the Ukrainian authorities, but where exactly does Western weapons go? Why does a third reach the front at best? And money?

Why be surprised that Ukraine began shelling Europe’s largest Zaporozhye nuclear power plant? On Sunday, a rocket of 400 meters did not reach the storage of spent nuclear fuel. It’s even interesting, here’s the one who shoots – does he himself understand that he is a kamikaze? But to what degree of desperation must Zelensky and the entire Western “Ukraine project” go to try to remind himself of himself with a nuclear catastrophe in the center of Europe?

Surprisingly, this will not help to break Putin’s cunning plan. Because his whole trick is not to stop the fool from breaking his forehead.
