Our friend Dmitry Symes

21
Famous American political analyst Dmitry Simes, advisor to President Nixon, remarkable for his Russian origin, a frequent and respected guest in the Moscow political science environment, spoke recently in Dmitry Kulikov’s “Right to Know!” Program, as always, brilliantly and quite theoretically, refusing to speak as an American, and about Russian political paranoia, but still said a few important things.





In general, Symes always advocates the so-called “real politics”, and from this convenient position he gives out to all sisters in earrings, managing to remain both an American patriot and, as it were, a Russian-American patriot, a supporter of finding some Russian-American compromise and balance. So, he recognizes the US claim to world domination, but recognizes it as a reality of being, no matter how good or bad, it’s just a reality that Russia should take into account when calculating its steps. Compared to other American and European participants in our television programs, this is undoubtedly a sober approach.
.
Simes believes that there was a Russian influence on the American elections, but he finds it in the order of things: all countries do this. He is confident, at the level of intuition, that Russian athletes used doping, and this was used against Russia: "Russia is treated the way it allows it to do." Many Western athletes come across dope, they legally use it allegedly for "therapeutic purposes" - so use it against Western countries, as Symes hints at us, can you afford it? Indeed, Russia does not allow itself the counter-doping charges of the West, at least for now. Until the winter Olympics in South Korea?

Symes' political preferences are on the side of Donald Trump, he explains and justifies him as a businessman in power who, through inexperience, has done a lot of mistakes, but kept afloat at the expense of a certain common sense and his economic successes. Now Trump, in his opinion, is returning to traditional republican politics under the influence of the realities of American existence.

Significantly more critical arrows, Symes released around Congress, he recalled the sacramental “making noise, brothers, making noise” about him, but these “brothers” make a noise all over the world and consider themselves the focus of world democracy. The congress is exactly the focus of American democracy, as opposed to the executive presidential power headed by "dictator Trump." Congress is really American democracy as it is. And how is it? This is the CPSU Central Committee of the heyday of senile marasmus, but Symes refused to talk about American paranoia.

The main global problem today is American hegemony, which staggered under pressure from Russia and China. She is reeling, and the United States wants to restore its hegemony to its former stability, and this is just a real policy, says Dmitry Simes. As the policy of Russia and China to change the world in their favor, in favor of their national interests.

“You have already done a lot of things,” Simes acknowledges Russia's achievements along this path, which he said was declared in Vladimir Putin’s Munich speech in 2007. That is, in just 10 years, a small historical time limit

It is necessary to say thanks to Sayms for pointing out the essence of American politics, or rather of the policies of Congress, which is coming out of himself about “Russian interference” in the American elections. The same people who openly and brazenly interfered in the Russian elections and politics in the 90-s shout about this in Congress. How do they explain this? "They have developed and are developing democracy in you, and Russia is undermining democracy in America."

In other words, the opposition of Putin’s Russia, in any case, with the US Congress is ideological. Congress insists that the United States is a unique democracy, and everyone should recognize this, stand in the appropriate posture and make “ku.” The hatred of Congress towards President Trump is also ideological: he does not recognize the democratic uniqueness of the Congress, and this places himself above Congress!

Moreover, Trump has not yet learned the word "democracy" that Obama juggled so well with, and again in Davos spoke of "American values", but they cannot be universal for the whole world by definition! Unlike “democracy,” which can always be manipulated in Obama's way. Yes, Trump does not want to give in to Congress with his democracy, therefore he is “a dictator, a sexist and even Hitler”, so he is defamed by “world mass media”, which Trump calls “fake” in revenge.

Democracy is the same myth as communism, I did not say that, our dissident philosopher Alexander Alexandrovich Zinoviev said this. These social doctrines are generally relatives, from the same era of the Enlightenment, and, as often happens in life, as Cain and Abel did, there was also discord between them from selfish motives for the right of world leadership. Today, the future of all mankind dreams of becoming a democracy ...

When the democratic myth collapses under the weight of its leadership, the burden of sins and the marasmic delirium of the Central Committee of the CPSU Democracy, I mean the Congress, the United States will repeat the fate of the USSR, and this process has already begun. It was not for nothing that Trump completely forgot the word “democracy”: in America, he was as tired as in the late USSR from “communism”.

In this case, we note, A.A. Zinoviev, as a sociologist, talks about the possibility of both communal (called communist) mode of society functioning, and market (called democratic), because, by themselves, they have no relation to myths, and really exist, with all their inherent strengths and weaknesses . And inalienable, that is, unremovable in principle, which leads to the collapse of myths built on their basis.

... The main achievements of the “American democracy”, or rather, the real political system of the USA, Dmitry Simes considers “freedom of speech and independent court”, but today they are under threat: the fake news of the globalist media and the political corruption of Obama and Clinton’s “democrats” are collapsing the neocons that Trump’s presidential election revealed. “American democracy is still alive,” because “Trump was still elected,” Dmitriy Simes expressed hope, but then she might die along with Donald Trump’s political defeat.

    “American democracy is still alive,” because “Trump was still elected,” Dmitry Simes expressed hope, but then it could die along with the political defeat of Donald Trump.

    That is, he calls to pray for trump, otherwise, “The mustache is gone, boss!”, Because democracy in Merikatos’s style will end with the death of the trump. bully

      I watched this show. Simes noted the difference between the past US (when he moved there) and modern. The main American values ​​(freedom of speech and the independence of the judiciary) are in question.
      In fact, a competent man and knows how to clearly convey his thoughts. hi

        What kind of democracy and freedom of speech are there under the two party systems? People are placed within the rigid framework of the political system. You can say what you want, but don’t touch the state’s policy and its electoral system, this is not subject to criticism, and discussion? Russia. Putin influences on the minds of people with their correct policies, and tough defending their national interests. This is dangerous to the hegemon. This Simes also said

          Bipartisan system. In my opinion, and this is not, because politics (internal and external) is practically unchanged. Their democracy is manifested only in elections, and this does not work well with the electoral system - recently, two presidents have become with fewer votes. hi

      There is still a difference, fanatics acting in real interests, albeit domination, are realists like Trump, and fanatics emanating from their chimera in their heads are madmen like Obama and Clinton, and earlier the Central Committee of the CPSU. Feel the difference.

        Fanaticism, in any case, is bad. Because the presence of any super ideas in the head, it interferes with a realistic assessment of the environment, and therefore leads to inevitable errors.

        However - in fact! - Today, the "fanatics" from the US Congress and the US State Department defeat the "realist" Trump ...
        (from somewhere: "... two came up and began to beat me, and I began to fight back from them. At first they won, and then I began to win, and even took away glasses and a pullover from one ..."
        Success in the fight is fickle! ...)

    “Russia is being treated as it allows it to be done”
    Honestly, there is nothing to object to. Dmitry Simes is a competent, reasonable professional who is really nice to listen to and draw certain conclusions.

        So, as it has Russian roots, even if it says something, it’s in the kitchen and with water open in the sink. But seriously, it is most likely that which is reality (paranoia) and is not discussed openly.

      Wow! ... Fundamental, but flexible - in places to complete spinelessness ...
      Somewhere I met: "It was a man. What’s called - with a rod inside! But this rod - according to observations - was something like a rubber baton ... Get" through the body "with such an object - .... !! !

          He gives "analysis", but not his own, private attitude! The illusion of "objectivity" ...

            Thank you for the amendment, to be honest, when I realized it, it was useless to correct it. It happens.
            but not your own personal attitude!
            You are not quite right here. He speaks very tactfully (according to his notions of American standards), but honestly, not in unison with the American media.

    And I'm sure of that. I am also confident that ALL ATHLETES OF ALL COUNTRIES use doping. Great sport is all doping, just some drugs have not yet learned to identify. hi
