"Oil in exchange for the iPad": why the cradle of civilization runs wild

The current mass savagery of the crowd in Tunisia and Egypt could be purely formally considered the inevitable consequence of another attack of a malignant democracy. In fact, democracy is formal - by its very name - the power of the people. Accordingly, if the people in these countries are exactly like this, if the previous government held back their instincts, and the current one gives them the opportunity to fully manifest, then entertainment, such as, for example, the pogrom of ancient Christian churches in Egypt, should be considered a manifestation of democracy.

But this purely formal consideration does not correspond to the essence of the matter. The essence is that the people are not something integral: there are always a lot of spiritual movements in it. Some of these movements are useful to the people as a whole or at the moment, or in some remote perspective. And something, on the contrary, harms him at the moment, or even is capable of taking away from him any prospect at all. In this sense, democracy - as a certain higher ideal - provides for the encouragement of currents within the people, contributing to their development, and the suppression of currents that contradict it. And it is not at all necessary to consider the arithmetic majority always and in all cases right.

And in this case, even the arithmetic majority is not recruited. Thugs in both Tunisia and Egypt have always been an obvious minority. Moreover, when during the confrontation on Tahrir Square in Cairo, at some point the military removed the cordon and allowed the people of Cairo to act independently, it immediately turned out: the opponents of the then existing government were such a tiny minority that most Egyptians could carry them from this square, as they say, "on the fists." And if it were not for the intervention of the professional Western democrats, who said that this is not the way issues are resolved, then the government in Egypt could act for a very long time and for general well-being.

But, unfortunately, now professional democrats aim to support not movements that are really useful to the people themselves, but only those that for some reason turn out to be useful to the professional democrats themselves. And for obvious reasons, it is useful for them that they put entire countries and peoples under their direct control.

Right now they supported both in Egypt and Tunisia, and - even by direct military intervention - in Libya, it was the forces that drove the entire region back, driving people back to the Middle Ages. And they do it for a simple and obvious reason.

As is known, the army of the highest social formation is capable of crushing an arbitrarily large crowd of lower formations without the slightest problems. Remember: compact competently organized Greek troops swept from the battlefield countless hordes of Persians; a few dozen Spanish conquistadors were enough to defeat the multi-thousand Indian army; And so on and so forth. Therefore, if we succeed in driving the Arab world back into the Middle Ages, it can be controlled by relatively small forces (such as new-fashioned private armies — by the way, having already assumed the main burden in Iraq). In addition, if the people are backward enough, then they can be kept under control without any military forces at all - by buying, for example, gold for glass beads or oil for the iPhone.

Therefore, there is no doubt: the West, under whatever beautiful slogans about democracy, will be trampled into feudalism - and, perhaps, in the Stone Age - and the Arabs, and us, and everyone who does not know or does not want to see the inside out of beautiful words in time.

    The poorer the people, the easier it is to manage it, in Egypt it is full of poverty, and the uprising was not difficult, but in Libya it was necessary to solve the problem through open warfare against the people and their rightful ruler!

      And by the way, in Libya, the NATO team did not solve the problem. Resistance of the people to the PNS gangsters continues. This is evidenced by recent events in Tripoli and Sirte. Most importantly, the people were not betrayed by the country's leader, Muamor Gaddafi. Honor and praise!

    You are right, the Egyptian regime resembled our Russian one.
    The authorities are so rotten, mired in corruption, torn from the aspirations of the people, that no one has stood up for it, everyone just dreamed about when it would fall.
    In Libya, on the contrary, socialism was built, the whole country stood up for socialism (as in the USSR 41-45gg).
    Because socialism is justice.
    In the name of justice, people are ready to lay down their heads, regardless of race, culture or religion.
    Such is the psychology of man.

      Ivan, stop, stop, I didn’t understand a little, it turns out that like we were forcibly dragged into capitalism by the ears? Well, I understand that not everyone agreed, but I didn’t see goals either. That in Yugoslavia, that in Egypt, Tunisia, and even Libya, the people did not go to demonstrations with protests. The script from outside, that's the whole mess, which the directors sought. They really need you to not drink, drink, walk, kill, become impoverished, and then crawl on fours and ask for bread, and for this you will be asked with a smile to take a machine gun and shoot, well, just a little bit, in a neighboring country. Everything, you are no longer needed, at all!

        You are right, the script was directed from outside.
        However, we see a completely polar reaction of citizens of those countries where similar technologies were applied.
        In Egypt, it was a ride, but in Libya ...
        I named the reasons.
        As for us, they dragged us into the swamp not by our ears, but by deception.
        The fact that this was a hoax is no longer in doubt.
        The question is different.
        Is the power in the Russian Federation a simple loser, or, introduced fifth column?
        If, first, then everything can be fixed in the elections.
        If the second, then nothing can be fixed, they will not allow us.

          everything he is going to fix in the elections))
          Americans put medveput over us, Americans in every possible way show that their medveput is not very happy.
          and for such an elegant feint, they have a great country planted on an oil and gas needle and the completely fooled population of this country actively supporting their own henchmen, as if they were the antagonists of America.
          as for socialism and justice, these concepts are not close by.

            This statement requires clarification.
            For example, I would like to understand why capitalism is closer to me. To me here it is not closer. Maybe because when everyone grabbed and tore, I did not have such an opportunity. Maybe for some other reason, it doesn't matter.
            But if, under unfair socialism, I was someone and a part of something, now — excuse me.

    "Right now, they have supported both in Egypt and Tunisia, and - even by direct military intervention - in Libya, the forces that are throwing the entire region back, driving the peoples back into the Middle Ages. And they do this for a simple and obvious reason." ---- Who would doubt it, because our foreign policy wants to be better. We have achieved that we are no longer considered as those who can blather something significant. We either support, that is, approve
    or go aside, giving others the opportunity to make decisions. Soon all the normal countries that once supported us will drop us like ballast, which only prevents us from going up

    democracy has long ceased to be the power of the people, it has become the power of the government (for the last 20 years, for sure, since Bin Laden and international terrorism appeared, and since democrats have ceased to be different from Republicans, parties in the United States are just a fix !! !!)

    The drain of everything is written about attempts to control the West over other countries, but where are examples of the total successes of the United States and NATO militarily? while they defeated the current of the Serbs, Iraq and Afghanistan are somehow incomprehensible, Libya is also in the fog, the Caucasian project has not been crowned with success (although of course we will win back for it).
    I would really like to see the battle with Iran and Syria. There are serious doubts about NATO’s ability to break them, although they didn’t sell the c300, but somehow they themselves invented them under the assurances of Iran

      Work out. And practically do not hide. According to the color revolutions against Russia there are already a bunch of amers. politicians said. Here is the last statement on this topic:

      "opponents of Gaddafi" inspire people in Tehran, Damascus and even in Beijing and Moscow "

    Krigiz, everything goes according to plan. And the Caucasian project was successful, look at it in a different context. You do not want to say that tomorrow you will go to Dagestan or Chechnya for permanent residence. The Caucasian project brought tens of thousands of dead Slavs and Caucasians, bombed infrastructure, uncontrolled migration processes, the rise of ethnic hatred and hatred, huge financial expenses, etc. And this process continues. But I would not want to look at NATO’s battle with Iran and Syria. Beating a baby. And no S-300s will help here, as I say POShnik. The difference is that they will be beaten longer. If Russia and China do not show political, and maybe military will, Tehran and Damascus have a vague and medieval future.
