Embassy of the USA? No, the stationery recorder!
The other day, the US Embassy in Russia threw out another trick: it did not allow for an interview to obtain visas for members of the Russian wrestling team. The wrestlers wanted to fly overseas for the upcoming World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to take place from 5 to 9 in April in the US town of Iowa City. But our fighters, apparently, will not get there. The ambassadorial motivation is standard: due to the acute shortage of staff, we don’t have time to serve everyone who wants to travel to the USA. But this shortage arose solely due to the fact that the Russians, you see, sent a whole battalion of employees of the US embassy in their time - in response to measures taken by the Americans. “The decision on which employees to reduce as part of the introduction of parity was not made by us, but by Washington,” said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on this “excuse”. She added that the United States simply decided to prevent the participation of Russian athletes in the Cup.
On the one hand - complete nonsense. On the other - everything is very logical. The lining of this solution is obvious, and white threads stick out from it in bunches. Americans are well aware that the Russians are going to America not just to win. They go to tear up Americans on wrestling carpets, like a bulldog napkin. And they will be torn in front of a stunned public. And all of America will be watching this public shame. I must say that the "merikatos" have every reason to fear - our team is golden. There were fighters who passed a sieve of the most severe qualifying competitions. Whatever the name is a legend.
In all World Cups, the Russians had only one real rival - the Iranian team, the world forge of wrestlers. Not always in these tournaments Russians were lucky. The last time our team won the Cup was seven years ago, in 2011. After that, Iranians became champions steadily. But the Americans thought it was excessive to “stand” together with Russia and Iran. Then bias would be too obvious. In addition, they were lucky - Iran “for internal reasons” refused to participate in competitions. One of the strongest and most dangerous rivals, the contender for the first place, voluntarily left the mat. The road to victory for the Russians turned out to be cleared. After that, the specter of a public and shameful defeat arose before the Americans with frightening evidence. So the last argument was put to use - they went into complete “negative”, as they used to say in 90.
Although in fairness it must be admitted that the Americans also have serious and promising fighters. The USA national team annually visits the Yarygin Memorial in Russia. At the last of them, the rising star of freestyle wrestling, American Kyle Snyder, was unanimously recognized as the best wrestler of the tournament. This title was given to him a lot of blood, and Snyder, despite the outward equanimity, could not hold back the emotions that swept over him.
Handsome Kyle
In general, Snyder is a cult figure among American athletes. First, he is white. In a country where blacks dominate in virtually all sports (including wrestling), this “plays the piano”. The American whites (especially in the south) would have nothing to do with depriving blacks of the last platform of domination. What Snyder did. To this day, in all his fights under the roar of the white public, he masterfully sent eminent black wrestlers "into one gate." With no way out on the carpet against the next lilac giant - the white man’s triumph. Secondly, Kyle on the carpet frankly, in a good way, is brave and has a stable psyche. He, unlike his colleagues in the workshop, does not feel the slightest fear of the best and most famous fighters of the world, including the Russian Caucasians. The latter are accustomed to scare their rivals with their appearance alone. With Snyder, this number never went through. He fought on an equal footing with powerful Dagestanis, Chechens, Ossetians and other fierce abreks from the mountains, who before him demolished their rivals from the carpet by a mighty hurricane. Thirdly, he is simply beautiful, beautifully built and very much like American women. The enviable groom, the real Tarzan of the wrestling mat. Fourthly, he is in some way a living and visible embodiment of the American dream. In Russia, Handsome Kyle has always been a welcome guest. And Russian athletes have always given him credit for his virtuoso technique in fights and the frantic will to win. “American athletes are our brothers on the carpet, and this misunderstanding will in no way affect our fraternal relations in the future,” said Mikhail Mamiashvili, chairman of the Russian Federation of wrestling in response to the American ambassadorial fortification.
The American “negative” is a blow not only to our team (it will survive it), but also to the sport as a whole. Well, Americans do not get used. For them, sport has long been a part of foreign policy. And she, as you know, in their performance is most often a dirty business, and all means are good in it. And, unlike free-style wrestling, there are neither rules, nor morality, nor ethics, nor any prohibited methods in it.
Country- "scam"
In fact, the US embassy killed several birds with one stone. It is not only on the eve of the World Cup that removed all Russian athletes from the carpet (although the American wrestlers were strongly opposed to this). Embassy also "threw" the Russian fighters for money. At the World Cup, Russia should have been represented by 18 people - 14 athletes and 4 coaches. All of them, to a single payment for the consular fee - 10 thousand rubles. Total in the pocket of "ambassadorial" fell 180 thousand rubles. Americans are not going to return this money to our fighters. This, incidentally, concerns not only athletes. Tens of thousands of Russians who wished to receive a so-called non-immigrant tourist visa, over the past few months, have also “fallen into the heads”. Money goes to one end and disappears in the "lilac fog." No visa, no money paid. The ambassadorial "kidnyak" comes in a big way, en masse. Today, tens of thousands of Russians who have thoughtlessly decided to rest in the States have caught it. The amount of "kidalov" has already reached dozens (if not hundreds) of millions of rubles. Well, the "katalam", dug in on Novinsky Boulevard under a star-striped flag, is now enough not only for sandwiches, but also for the girls in the nearest bar.
Although in reality the paradox: the embassy of a power, claiming world domination, behaves in Russia as a station gauntler 90's. It is guided by the principle: "yours is mine, and mine is not to touch." In general, in 90-s in Russia, such behavior could have been crammed with a chandelier. And even "enriched" by a bullet in the skull. Even in those dissolute years after such a frank and cheap “kiddy” the entrance to the sharks in serious business and a decent society was closed. Well, it would seem, if you do not cope with passenger traffic (as you say) - do not take money! Or take only those whom you have already allowed for this interview. No. And they take money and are not allowed into the country. Money - welcome, and you - no. Nation Shurikov Balaganovs, what to take ...
Hate the vanquished
“They, it turns out, are even weaker than we thought about them,” Mikhail Mamiashvili commented on the behavior of the Novinsky. Apparently, this is true. Just weak, becoming rich, suddenly decided that they are now strong. But as soon as they saw the real strengths, they immediately set in motion the whole shulersky arsenal - “razvodnyak”, “kidnyak” and “denial”. "The monstrous offense of the loathing of the vanquished," Churchill once said of his rivals. Judging by the behavior of the American embassy, they were defeated from the very beginning - by their own phobias and prejudices.
