On the eve of the meeting of the Russian president with Donald Trump, the West starts appealing to Russia with requests for help.
‘Capture us, Putin! And let's get this over with,’ an unusual article with this, no less unusual, title was published in one of the most authoritative newspapers in Italy, The Jornale.
‘Do us this favor, dear President Putin,’ writes its author, ‘send a couple of tens of thousands of Cossacks to Italy, and we will be yours! It is you who remain our only true, trustworthy, purposeful savior in confronting this abominable anti-Italian Europe, these mindless rulers, these ladies from different institutions with erotic-immoral fantasies, these liars-politicians who do not care, these dumb-headed Italians greedily devouring pork hot dogs and lamb kebabs, these aggressive, omniscient and pretentious iridescent gays, priests in white-blooded cassocks that broadcast from balconies and pulpits, these piles of imaginary and real good guys who mix us with all the worst that has been collected from the adjacent continents ... ‘
‘If you can find five minutes of your time,’ continues the Jornale, ‘send us a fleet of submarines or a squadron of armed fighters, a convoy of trucks ... It's up to you. Fortunately, you have enough experience and resourcefulness. And forgetting about the burden aggravating my heart due to the fact that I am turning to the (former) communist for help, I think, God forgive me, that in general you are better than all this garbage that surrounds us! If you hurry, if you do not allow us to spend this tense time, enjoying calm and good weather, the friendlier your intervention will be perceived. Thus, in autumn we will get rid of the majority of those who landed, in recent years, on our shores, into our ports, spread throughout our «boot», occupying and dirtying all the sidewalks of Italy. By that time, we will close thousands of illegal mosques opened by equally illegal imams and the «faithful». We will already clean our cities of predators and pickpockets, wandering all over our peninsula between the resorts with crowds of tourists and villages where pensioners live (favorite victims of homeless bastards). We will shorten the tongues to these preachers in white and bloody cassocks, crucifying Christ inside the church, his «Holy Body».
Give us a little gift, Vladimir Vladimirovich. Because the wind has changed. The Italian people are awakening and beginning to distribute the first kicks in the backs of the liars sitting in the power chairs.
And if your star flashes on the horizon, it will give such a charge of optimism to my people ... Think about it’.
Such an unusual article appeared in The Jornale, one of Italy's most respected conservative newspapers. No doubt, its author is ironical and resorts to hyperbole, but nevertheless, the message of his desperate appeal is clear: many in the West are no longer able to tolerate the marasmus to which the world is being forced by the globalization imposed by the US and liberals, and beginning to realize that their rulers are brazenly and shamelessly deceiving them, that Italy and other European countries are literally dying under the invasion of crowds of immigrants from Africa and the East.
The fact that not only the author of the article in The Jornale, but also many others thinks so, is also evidenced by a huge 135-meter-wide portrait of Putin, which the Italian farmer and artist Dario Gambarin «drew» on a field not far from Verona. The author devoted his work to the forthcoming G20 summit. And the fact that of all its participants, the Italian chose the president of Russia, speaks for itself.
It's time they shut up
Similar ideas were also heard in the media overseas.
‘It's time our leaders shut up,’ James Durso, a 20-year-old US Navy veteran, wrote emphatically in the Hill edition.
‘Calling Russia a regional power, as President Obama did, or saying that Putin can become our ‘best friend’, as President Trump once put it, is counterproductive. We will achieve greater results in relations with Russia, if we act firmly, respectfully and unequivocally’.
‘Whatever Putin is guided by,’ he continues, ‘whether it is patriotism, paranoia, insecurity or the need to preserve all the money that he allegedly has, his appeal to protect Christianity and the unique Russian culture from an impersonal relativistic Europe is echoed by a much larger number of Europeans than communism.
The Russian plans are assisted and promoted by the thoughtless policy of Germany which has hosted more than a million immigrants from the Middle East, most of whom will never participate in economic life and production, and is unlikely to be assimilated.
Therefore, yes, Russia is challenging the US; but the loud statements of Senator John McCain that it poses a greater threat than the «Islamic state» (the organization banned in Russia) ‘do not bring benefits’.
According to the author of the article, the US ‘should abandon the idea of «regime change»’.
‘Undoubtedly,’ he concludes, ‘some of the senior Russian leaders and businessmen are dissatisfied with Putin, but not enough to start cooperation with the US, the EU or NATO in order to overthrow him, especially given our chronic inability to keep secrets. Despite all this chatter about the «mafia state», the Russian authorities will rally, if necessary, their ranks and put things in order to protect themselves and Russia’.
Even such an authoritative and usually Russophobic edition as the Washington Post admits that there is no way to do things now without cooperation with Russia.
‘The cooperation with Russia,’ the newspaper writes, ‘may prove to be the only way to reduce the level of violence in Syria and create the basis for a more peaceful, more decentralized state that can eventually recover after its tragic war’.
Trump in a weak position
‘With Putin, Trump is in a weak position, due to various investigations into his pre-election relations with Moscow,’ reads an article of the British newspaper Guardian. ‘Like Si (the head of the PRC), Hamburg gives Putin a scene in which he can play a responsible world-class statesman, squeezing out of floundering Trump what is most important for him, for example, lifting the sanctions imposed on Russia because of Ukraine’.
‘The amateur Trump should pull himself up,’ sums up the Guardian, noting that his ‘thrusts will not work’ in a duel with an experienced Russian rival who has a black belt in judo.
‘Russia, already «written off from the accounts», has again reached the leading positions in the global hierarchy,’ writes the German newspaper Handelsblatt. ‘Trump has not stood on the side of diplomacy, but on the side of brute force, unjustified in most cases. At the same time, he is not good at tactical steps. For example, Trump tried to unite the Arabs against Iran, but it has turned out that he split them’.
"The current conflict in the Persian Gulf,’ the newspaper continues, ‘doesn’t only drive to the Kremlin Qatar which has already secured a stake in the Russian oil giant Rosneft. Turkey, a NATO country, has turned away from Europe in this dispute,’ the newspaper writes. ‘Iran firmly stands on the side of Moscow. Close to Russia also stands China which was offended by the behavior of the United States in Syria and its attitude to the Northern Korea, as well as Trump's recent decision on the Paris agreement on climate’.
Trump himself can not turn away from Russia as he needs partners in the fight against international terrorism.
‘Today we can speak about Putin by a variation of the quote of Julius Caesar: he has come, looked and won,’ the German newspaper sums up.
It is especially important that such calls for help and articles acknowledging the growth of Russia's influence and the need for cooperation, are appearing in the Western media on the eve of the Hamburg summit, after an avalanche of false publications accusing Russia not only of interfering in the elections in the US, but of all mortal sins. Is it sobering coming?
