We meet new sanctions by dancing

For a bad dancer, trousers get in the way. That is why our response to Washington is usually performed by Maria Zakharova. In a skirt. And you can say as much as you like that the Kalinka dance is not the best reaction to the new packages of anti-Russian sanctions, but there can be no other answer. Well, maybe you can also sing.

What else can you do if the overseas congressmen, stupefied by impunity and swollen with the fat of their own greatness, turn off their own brains, competing in Russophobia with their own kind?

Just once again about the ultimatum given to us.

We must give them guarantees that we will not use chemical weapons.

And allow their observers into their military facilities.

We are given three months to do this.

Am I the only one who thinks that along with the instinct of self-preservation, someone’s ability to think logically has also atrophied? Demanding that a nuclear power not use chemical weapons is like asking a BELAZ driver not to smoke when he drives into the warehouse of a ceramics factory. Believe me, when he drives in, it won’t matter whether he has a cigarette in his hand.

Moreover, since the creation of chemical weapons, our country has never used them, their use is not in military doctrine, and the weapons themselves have long been disposed of as unnecessary. It is not that we are peace-loving, but that it is not effective.

We already have something to eat.

You'll be so stunned that you won't have time to say "goodbye." And this Ukrainianism is not given by chance, because it leaves no room for speculation that the United States is such an overseas Ukraine. And the only difference is that in the USA they decided to print not hryvnias, but dollars. And we all, foolishly, use these dollars, although we have our own rubles and even more beautiful ones.

So here it is. We were given an ultimatum. And they promise terrible, terrible sanctions.

For example, they will prohibit the use of the dollar. What’s funny is unclear. We don’t really use it anyway, and we don’t have much of a desire.

They promise to deny us loans. But we forgot when we asked for loans. We have long ago paid off all the debts accumulated in the nineties. We kind of lend ourselves from time to time. Including these sanctions from Washington.

They are threatening to ban Aeroflot flights to the USA. Well? And what? We haven’t flown there for so many years, so now we won’t fly again?

In general, for what purpose can one fly seven hours over the ocean to the other end of the round Earth? Do the officials have children there? So you can send these officials there on the last flight. And thank you for such a sanction.

Well, of course, they won’t give us technology here. We cannot live without technology. We seem to be rich, but we don’t have technology. And then the question arises: where did they go, these technologies? They were! We produced gas and oil, we had a heavy engineering and energy industry. We flew into space. And they didn’t ask anyone for technology. How did it happen that we do everything the same as before, but for some reason we have to buy technology? It's simple.

All the technologies that we take from the West are our technologies. It’s just that in the nineties, someone smart took our technology and patented it in the USA. We never patented there; we had our own patent system. And so, in 1991, we entered a World where what is ours does not belong to us. This happened with almost all sectors of our national economy.

A simple example is these Siemens turbines delivered to Crimea. This is a scandal. A reputable European corporation supplies its turbines to the besieged unrecognized Crimea. And everyone forgets that this is not Siemens. This is our own enterprise, Power Machines, which has been churning out these turbines for many decades. And the fact that Siemens is investing in our production is, of course, thank you. And even the fact that Siemens bought shares in our company is wonderful. But if someone doesn’t like what our Power Machines deliver and where, then they can divide the property back. We have an enterprise, they have shares. Paper, that is. And we will continue to build our own turbines. And they... can count on the shares being printed on three-layer soft paper with a “sea freshness” scent.

And so it is with us in everything. Has everyone seen how communications are laid in cities using a trenchless method? It’s very convenient in historical centers, and you just don’t have to break the asphalt too much. This is an American technology from 1991. We pay them for this. And the fact that all the equipment was produced in the USSR 50 years ago is only because we have been laying communications this way since the mid-20th century. They just didn't patent it in the USA. And now this is their technology under international law.

What about trenchless technology? Push in the piles. Not to hit, but to press, we have been doing this for hundreds of years. But since the nineties we have been paying for this pressing overseas. Because it is now patented by them.

And our American partners did not start making such tricks with their ears yesterday. Few people know that our pride, the Mosin rifle of 1897, was invented in the USA in 1914. That is, twenty years after we launched its mass production.

And here the question arises: do we need to be in this technology patenting system? After all, according to this scheme, we will not build a simple bridge on our own. And the fact that we built the Crimean Bridge, we simply spat on all their prohibitions and laws, and did what we know how and can. We did it ourselves.

So it turns out that we can do everything ourselves. We could before, and now we can. And they only receive tribute from everything we have done. So maybe stop paying this tribute? Look, China doesn’t even do its own thing, it steals, copies, modernizes someone else’s, and it doesn’t care what happens according to international laws invented by parasites.

So let's do it already. Without their laws, permits and approvals. Without their money, printed under our blood and sweat. All they can confiscate from us is paper, abstract rights, a place in the financial pyramid that is not ours.

And let it be difficult for us for some time, let some mutual settlements be suspended, some offshore companies suffer, but we will not stop building big machines, turbines and rockets. We will continue to produce tangible assets that you can touch and be proud of. And money…. Money can always be printed in accordance with the volume of what we produce.

And let them sit overseas and come up with sanctions. They like it, it's useful for them. When they come up with sanctions, they are not so violent.
