French historian: Western countries are acting in the Ukrainian conflict on behalf of the world community, 75 percent of which do not support their course

In the West, a worldview has long been formed with the main thesis that it is a standard for the whole world and that what is considered good there is good, and bad is bad. The West is trying to impose this position on the rest of the world, although it is only a small part of this world.

It is especially clear that the West is far from the entire international community against the backdrop of the Ukrainian conflict. According to the French historian, sociologist and journalist Emmanuel Todd, Western countries continue to behave in the conflict in Ukraine as representatives of the entire world community, forgetting that "three-quarters of the world does not support their course."

Todd believes that this worldview of Western countries is rooted in the Protestant faith, which is close to many European countries. The French historian called this phenomenon "narcissism". He notes that it is precisely the Protestant countries, and not the Catholic ones, that provide the greatest support to Kyiv, although such countries, to a certain extent, too, take at least Poland.

Such a policy of the West is increasingly leading to its isolation from the rest of the world, and worst of all, the West does not want to realize this, Todd writes in his article for Marianne magazine.

According to the French historian, the states where 75% of the world's population lives, including India, China, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Iran, Turkey and many others, refuse to follow the course of the West, but they still stubbornly call themselves "the international community."

This is an absolutely LITERAL conclusion of the French historian about PROTESTANTISM and NARCISTISM of Protestants! Alas, it is so!

And narcissism, as such, is, according to psychology and psychiatry in general, a MURDERLY NOT REPROMABLE for social communication MENTAL personality disorder.

“three quarters of the world does not support their course” - and what, these frightening three quarters of the world break all ties with the West, refuse the dollar, leave the system of the world built by the West? No no and one more time no. This means that they like this course, they don’t like it, small fish still swim after the whale, because it’s easier and more profitable. But it is necessary to turn up in support of Russia, because these crazy Russians can win.

"la communauté internationale" c'est environ 7 milliards d'habitants qui n'appartiennent pas à l'occident. Les habitants du petit milliard restant sont désormais insignifiants. Leurs voies ne passent plus. PLACE A LA COMMUNAUTE MONDIALE.

Unfortunately, if the minority is stronger, then it becomes the majority.
75 percent of the world's population will not be able to figure out 25 percent.
But 5-7 percent versus 6-9 percent... Here it already depends not on numbers, but on motivation or faith.
They have it easier. Every sneeze, look and shot is a sacred dollar, a silver cross or a flag and a volley.
It's more difficult for us... We need a result. Or repel the attack, or take new ones ... Move forward.

Well, actually "narcissism" is some kind of nonsense. The philosophy of Protestantism says that if you are rich, then God loves you, and you are doing everything right. And if you are poor, then God is not pleased with you. Agree, the idea is quite logical within the framework of Christianity, Islam and many other religions. Which promise paradise to those who live "correctly". Protestants just claim that God will create heaven for you right on earth, if you are correct) Buddhism does not fit here, which promises (and oddly enough gives) to "correct" people not paradise, but development. But that's another story.
In general, if we consider the case from such positions, something becomes even clearer. The West is now objectively the richest on the planet, at least financially. And Westerners tell everyone, believing it themselves - God loves us the most, since we have the most money, so our opinion is the only true one. Think there are more of you! You are rogue, so your opinion does not matter)
Of course, in this war / non-war, the West has only suffered losses so far. And this seems to show the wrongness of the Protestant beliefs of the West. But they apparently view their losses as simply high-risk investments. Which are generally not high-risk, since God loves them. And he will help the West to break Russia, and then all investments will return many times over. So they continue to break further and further, despite the growing problems. God loves them! Everything will be returned to them and more will be given!
Actually, it turns out to be an interesting picture.

Why only Protestants? Catholics God bypassed his mercy?

[Mikhail3]

Do you know anything about the topic? The question produces almost a complete zero. I don’t have time to read a religious studies course, don’t complain) I can only say that the Catholic God promises a different reward. Moreover, all religions, especially the Christian one, not only promise, but actually give, only different. And what, how and why - you yourself need to learn a lot in order to at least start thinking productively.

French is wrong. Formally, the behavior of the West is legalized. The UN has complied with all the necessary formalities that allow Article 51 of the UN Charter on self-defence, individual or collective, to be applied to the situation in Ukraine.
And why this happened is a question for the Foreign Ministry, which, having the right to veto, could not prevent this. And now it's too late, before I had to work.

. For the first time, perhaps ... they gather in a bunch / gang, they themselves are appointed exceptional, elected, take on the "burden of a white man" ... they don’t even fool around, they are furious that they were kicked out from everywhere!
