"The theory of Crazy." Putin went into a parallel world, it is important for us to find it

It comes from the time when the US President was the notorious Richard Nixon, the only one as a US president who resigned early (as a result of the impeachment procedure). It is believed that in relations with the USSR Nixon intentionally tried to create the image of an unpredictable and impulsive person capable of causing a preventive nuclear strike.

It was also considered that it worked: as a result of his reign of America and the Union, a certain "discharge" was achieved on the fronts of the Cold War. In the end, it is believed that from that time this technique was swollen by the leaders of different ways of illegal countries, especially North Korea. And that the swinging of the nuclear bomb helps to avoid the same North Korea, let's say, too meticulous attention of the event: who knows them, those psyche, it is better not to contact.

Modern Russia seems to be guided by such a collective "crazy". This seems obvious from the constant fantastic, and more and more fantastic statements there on external and geopolitical topics. Well, the "dominance of the Nazis" in Ukraine, Europeans who, through anti -Russian sanctions, eat for pets, battle bats, mosquitoes and geese are a long list. The question is how the mentioned bonsai themselves are aware of the insignificance, if not in the schizophrenity of their own behavior.

The typical reception of Russian propaganda in recent years is 15 or even 20 (a clear boundary is difficult to establish, because everything went ascending) - so the typical technique is to throw propaganda theses first through media and then "confirmation of these theses by officials. Under the sauce "You know everything. ) says well -known things.

We all know! The classic example is Putin's words at yesterday's meeting with members of the Council on Human Rights with you, that is, for the President of Russia. The Ukrainian media mostly dropped these words, and it seems to me in vain. Of course, when Russian propaganda She talks about these "shootings before the routine", she does not give any facts.

Everything goes on old patterns: first the thesis is voiced by some guests of the talk show -Show, well, and finally, everything is cemented by someone from the top. In this case, personally Vladimir Vladimirovich. Goebbels said in vain that people willingly believe in the most frantic lies. It was not an aphorism, as it is often perceived.

If such a lie comes from the source authoritative for the audience, this audience usually turns off the critical thinking unnoticed-because "well, such solid people cannot lie so much! Probably something is there!" But back to the question of whether the reality is realized by those who broadcast these messages. The question is really great weight. One thing when it comes to the practice of "Madman Theory".

It is quite another matter - if both propagandists and, most importantly, the leaders, without noticing it, are immersed in the created parallel worlds. Science psychology shows that the chances of this is very, very great. Any person is purely psychologically difficult for years or decades to build a lies around him and to preserve adequate ideas about the world real at the same time. This comes a cognitive dissonance.

As a result, such a person sooner or later, in one way or another, begins to believe in his own fictions. The further - the more. In the case of Putin and Ko, unfortunately, we have quite convincing evidence that it happened with them. The idiotic (fortunately) February on Kyiv with long columns, which - and the main thing - were taken in the train of parade form and sticks and ammunition for the acceleration of protests, was a classic manifestation of such inadequacy.

Russian commanders really believed in the conditional "capture of Kiev in 72 hours" and that the majority of the population will remain silent and even welcome "liberators". It is not just about the military command - about everyone, even to the Kremlin. All this can not but alarm. For example, at the same yesterday's meeting, Putin assured that Russia would never strike a nuclear blow to the first, but will certainly respond to the fact that launching missiles with a potential opponent.

If it is a manifestation of "Madman Theory" - O'Kay. But if we are dealing with a collective schizoid, what will prevent him from hitting the blow, lied to the subjects that the insidious enemy has already launched his missiles? The author does not aim to catch fear or something. But maybe we need to realize that it is safer to think that we are dealing with completely and completely inadequate people. That is not a common conventional war that ends with negotiations and truce.

At least, until the Kremlin is manifested by people who can show at least some adequacy of realities. And most importantly, it is as much as possible to convey this thesis to our Western partners (and ideally - to their voters) and to our fellow citizens. Many of them are still treating this war as a misunderstanding that should be corrected sooner or later. No - in the schizoid "logic" everything that happens is inevitable.
