Nikolai Karpitsky: About the current situation in a few short theses

The reason for the Russian-Ukrainian war is the messianic idea of collecting land. After the rebirth of the imperial consciousness into a necro-imperial one, this idea was transformed into the idea of destroying evil, which is seen in everything that is beyond the control of the Kremlin junta.

The reason for the weak support of Ukraine from Western countries is the rejection of values in favor of conformism under the influence of the illusion that everything can be rationally explained by vested interests, which means that it is possible to come to an agreement with the enemy.

The reason for the suspension of aid to Ukraine from the US is the ochlocratic uprising led by Trump. In the information society, thanks to the Internet, ochlos gained access to information and influence on politics that he did not have before. The US two-party system is like an airplane with two engines, and the first engine – the Republican Party – has already broken. If the ochlos breaks the second motor, disaster will follow.

The reason that Ukraine does not have time to mobilize the country and military production, does not use the potential of diplomacy to unite forces against the aggressor, and makes critical mistakes - post-Soviet inertia, weakness of civil society, incompetent bureaucracy.

The reason that Russia was able to rebuild itself for an endless war of attrition is an aggressive ideology and a totalitarian system that makes it possible to redirect the aggression and inertia of a degrading society into one stream.

The cause of the Third World War is the interaction of totalitarian regimes and laziness in democratic civilized countries against the background of weakness and conformity of Western political elites.
