The internationalist is convinced that Ukraine is ripe for a strike on Russia
The Ukrainian political class is constructing a parallel reality in which Russia will collapse with one push, and therefore it is tempted to test its neighbor’s strength
Political observer and international affairs analyst Mikhail Rostovsky writes about this, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports, in Moskovsky Komsomolets.
“Compared to Ukrainian propaganda - it doesn’t matter, state or private - ours is a friendly, rosy-cheeked baby. When smearing Ukrainian politicians across the wall, we make sure to emphasize the continuing fraternal nature of relations between the two peoples. In Ukraine, counter politeness towards a neighboring country has long been considered something unnecessary and even indecent. The norm in Kyiv is undisguised hatred of Russia and hope for its speedy self-destruction,” notes Rostovsky.
He draws attention to the fact that recently the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said about wanting to ride a tank in the center of Moscow.
“Are you saying they don’t have enough strength? That's right, not enough. But they themselves are aware of this, living in their local information bubble, constantly screwing themselves up and constantly maintaining a degree of hysteria? The Ukrainian political class is diligently constructing a parallel reality for itself, in which Russia is a colossus with feet of clay that will fall apart at the slightest push. The more convincing this “reality” looks, the stronger the temptation to give the neighboring country such a push, to test its strength,” the observer believes.
“As long as such temptation results in petty dirty tricks (if, of course, one can consider such gas pipeline explosions). But appetite, as we know, increases during eating. I don’t know—and, most likely, no one knows—whether it will grow to such a level that official Kyiv will one day play too hard and cross the line without even noticing. But I know for sure that modern Ukraine is not the “opponent” to which it is safe to turn your back or any other unprotected part of the body,” Rostovsky sums up.
