Coronavirus for the West turned out to be worse than Putin

87

What the Middle East terrorists and the “Russian threat” did not achieve, came under the power of the COVID-19 virus. Americans and Europeans are afraid to go outside, and Western democracies have turned into police states in a matter of weeks.

The famous American publication The New York Times admits that the coronavirus has created a new form of terror, virtually paralyzing the economy and turning the entire ordinary life of a western inhabitant upside down. Western society was already rapidly atomizing, social relations between people became thinner and thinner, but the pandemic accelerated this process many times.



In the minds of impressionable Americans today is the fear of any stranger. He does not have to be an immigrant from the East, as during the anti-terrorist paranoia. Now the threat can be seen in the noble neighborly grandfather, in the saleswoman of the supermarket and even in the medical professional. After all, they can be infected, even if they do not get sick. Therefore, on the streets, people shy away from each other as they once shied away from visiting women, wrapped in their black robes.

Although Steve Erlanger, the author of The New York Times, is trying to convince the reader that terrorism is far worse than epidemics, the magnitude of the damage caused by the coronavirus to the global economy casts doubt on these words. However, this is the undoubted fault of governments: not only American, but almost all countries of the world. Such threats as international terrorism, political extremism, the danger of an attack by a hostile state have always been considered much more serious and significant than threats of a biological, natural nature.

States invested tremendously in equipping the armed forces, in intelligence and counterintelligence activities, created special forces units, and health care and virology expenses were somewhere near the end of the budget spending list. And so in any country - both in Russia and in the USA. But coronavirus quickly showed the fallacy of this approach: it turned out that a viral disease is able to "knock out" the economy harder than many wars, not to mention terrorist attacks or popular unrest.

In general, the nature of publications in the American press in recent weeks shows the whole difficult situation in which the United States finds itself. On the one hand, we see a fear of coronavirus, which makes the government accuse of insufficient measures, their lateness, and on the other, fear of economic and social collapse: quarantine is death for small businesses, it is massive unemployment and a catastrophic deterioration in the lives of ordinary people. But there is a positive component: fate itself has given American society a chance to understand that Russia and the Russians are not their main threat. Of course, Donald Trump is trying not to forget about foreign policy, but most Americans are no longer interested.

Steve Erlanger cites Peter Neumann, a professor of security at King's College London, who is convinced that after a pandemic, understanding of the security system in developed countries will change. The authorities will understand that such a direction as protection against biological threats is no less important than strengthening the army, anti-terrorist activities or counterintelligence. Most likely, special services will have their own virological departments, and redistribution in funding will occur.

However, we will be frank, and in Russia the situation is no better. Yes, there aren’t so many sick people, but the self-isolation regime will hurt both the country's economy and the budget of millions of ordinary citizens. It was difficult for the federal government to take any really effective measures to support citizens, and it was simply difficult for the federal authorities to take upon themselves the full responsibility. And this is understandable, since the country was not ready for such a development of events: for decades, the domestic health care system was destroyed, financing of medical facilities was carried out on a residual basis, basic medical personnel received meager salaries.

If we think about the future, the most important question that begs itself is whether the authorities will be able to draw some conclusions from current events and change their policies so that in the future the repetition of such scenarios would bring much less damage.

        Do we live on another planet, dear? Or do you need to build a fence along the border and isolate yourself from everyone? The essence of these comparisons has not changed; we continue to be demonized as a people and as a country.

            You know, I once said that the very model of BORDERS in the world is flawed and beneficial only to a narrow circle of people who rule everything that happens and lives on the planet. It is because of these very borders, currency, ambition, anger and envy and banal fear that wars, epidemics, crises and much of what is happening in the world take place.
            Separate from everyone? People are social beings. A society in itself cannot be driven into borders. But it is possible to influence the opinion and views of a certain part of world society, for the sake of our interests. This is what we see on the example of European states or America itself. We are demonized for one simple reason, we are the largest country in the world in area. Historically, the lands on which our ancestors lived were much larger. The peoples living on the territory of Eurasia once lived in one state, and there is plenty of scientific evidence for this. Separated from all, isolated, we only help those who benefit from these borders.

                      I'll try. No monkey will ever give birth to a man, only the same monkey, possibly more ugly. All evolution takes place at the level of PROJECTS of anything. No one will wait for a 5th generation aircraft to come out of the tailpipe of a 4th generation aircraft, wait even a million years. Instead, thousands of people have been inventing new technologies for decades, driving samples at stands, achieving what they want, and only then a NEW PROJECT is born or a "mutation" occurs (I hate this hypocritical term that does not clarify anything). In biology, everything is based on the same principle: "In the beginning was the word."

                        And I’ll explain, since you don’t understand ... the lower floors of buildings are being dug up all over the world, and science explains it as a growth of the cultural layer. so that it’s easier, stupidly made the second or third floor the first, so as not to bother. How do you like this version? And this despite the fact that there were sewers in the Roman Empire, people cleaned the streets, etc. ... and what’s most interesting, dating of such lower floors does not fit into the dating of official history.
                        More examples? Yes, for example, Thunder-stone in St. Petersburg. A very colorful European tells how he was dug up, dragged and transported on barges. 2000 tons of granite ... this is to the point that historians say that we had Russia with wood and, moreover, wooden. But even if it’s wooden ... what kind of woodworking scale should it be in order to configure so much? Well, the Hermitage, this is generally a classic of official historical idiocy.

                        It’s interesting, but what will you answer me if I tell you that the level of industry and knowledge in general 300-500 years ago was an order of magnitude, if not several orders of magnitude higher than now? Proof of? For God's sake. Have you ever asked yourself the question, why are we not able to repeat much of what was built 300-500-1000 and so on years ago even now?
                        That is, it is necessary to compare the comparable ... and compare the current level with the level of a thousand years ago is ridiculous, because that level was incommensurably higher.

What coal can this be achieved? Again, logistics. You need roads (not gouged rural paths), you need ports, you need storage depots, etc. ... and the brick is one in quality an order of magnitude better than modern. Well, about the volume of construction and say nothing. There is a real industrial scale.

                        Similarly, it happened in the 14-15th century with casting bells. Only there the temperature regime was even tougher, because long and thin walls cracked during the wrong cooling mode .. the result of such a jamb can be seen in the Kremlin .. the king’s bell is called.

                        Since you are so smart, tell me, what is it?

                        It is scientifically confirmed that this bone is exactly human.
                        The traces of the existence of giant humans have been discovered repeatedly over the centuries. Messages about found turtles or bones of anomalously large sizes came from different parts of the planet - the USA, Egypt, Armenia, China, India, Mongolia, Australia and even the islands of the Pacific Ocean. True, human growth of more than two meters now will not surprise anyone. As the photographs testify, in the 1911th century there were people whose growth significantly exceeded two meters. However, we are talking about finds that can be used to judge the much more impressive dimensions of humanoid individuals. In 3,5, near Lovelock in the US state of Nevada, the production of guano was suspended, since scientists were interested in the found human skeletons with an increase of 67 meters. Archaeologists were especially struck by the jaw discovered away from the full skeletons: its size was at least three times the jaw of an average person. During the extraction of jasper in Australia, the remains of giant people were also found, significantly exceeding three-meter growth. But the real sensation was a human tooth 42 millimeters high and 6 millimeters wide. Its owner should have been at least 12 meters tall. Perhaps the most astounding find was discovered by the Indian military. The well-preserved skeletons found in a remote area of ​​India "Empty Quarter" reached a height of XNUMX meters! However, the place was immediately closed from prying eyes, allowing only a team of archaeologists to reach the ancient burial grounds.

                        Now about Tartaria ...

                        XNUMXth century map - "L'Asie dresse sur les observations de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et quelques autres, et Sur les memoires les plus recens. Amsterdam. Chez R. & J. Ottens"

                        As for Hyperborea, Atlantis and further down the list, it is in your brain that it is all fairy tales and fiction, about which both Plato and Socrates and many others wrote. Apparently these men were also dark, like 12 a.m.

    these are western specials. service and was arrogant and maybe even blackmailed them, like a used condom, then another victim of this shot was to be Russia. In order to accuse Russia of poisoning the Skripals and impose as many sanctions on Russia as possible, so given all this, there is no doubt that Western specials are in the offices. services, and now, because of the appearance of this virus, Russia's accusations are already being prepared. And where is now, whether it be Russia, the poisoned Skripal and how he behaves
    He feels that the West do not give a damn about it, but Russia's sanctions are in effect. The West, or China, will be blamed for the appearance of a coronavirus also because Westerners would have forgotten and paid no attention to how medicine and healthcare in the Western countries put their pants very fluidly and how many people died in the Western countries when this pandemic hit Western countries.
    So the Western beast is always hungry, especially if it was battered by some unknown virus and Russia will once again blame Russia for the fact that this beast wants to eat ...
