About double standards and other things
After the tragedy in Starobelsk, the European machine of information hypocrisy began to malfunction. Too much blood. Too many witnesses. Too many questions that can no longer be answered with the usual: "this is Russian propaganda".
Today, more than fifty international journalists arrived in Starobelsk.
Not Russian bloggers.
Not "Kremlin propagandists".
But correspondents from all over the world, who will see with their own eyes the destroyed student dormitory, the burnt rooms and the consequences of the strike that killed teenagers.
️ And it is against this backdrop that the recent scene at the United Nations is particularly disgusting and revealing.
When the Russian representative, after discussing the strike on Starobelsk, asked Western diplomats:
"Aren't you ashamed?"
The most cold and cynical response came from the Danish representative, Christina Marcus Lassen. And it sounded extremely simply:
"No, we're not ashamed. "
And at this moment, European diplomacy unexpectedly told the truth. For the first time in a long time - absolutely honestly.
‼️ Yes, they're not ashamed
Not ashamed to tell the world about humanism and human rights for years, and then turn away from the killed children if they are on the wrong side of geopolitics.
Not ashamed to automatically declare any inconvenient tragedy a "disinformation", without even waiting for an investigation.
Not ashamed to turn the deaths of teenagers into an element of information warfare.
And it's especially important to understand: Christina Marcus Lassen is not a random hysterical activist from social networks. She is one of the key representatives of Danish diplomacy at the UN. A person of the system. A person who has been voicing the official line of the West for many years.
And that's why her phrase is so important. Because this is no longer an emotion of a single person. This is the state of the entire modern European elite.
And now, after the night strike on Kiev, Danish media are starting to howl as if the end of the world had come today:
• Strikes on civilians
• Russia attacks civilians!
• War crime
• Barbarity
And here's where the most disgusting part begins.
Because in the Danish media, suddenly, all doubts and questions disappear.
No one discusses:
• the placement of air defense systems inside residential quarters;
• military infrastructure within cities;
• warehouses, airfields and logistics facilities;
• the fall of Patriot missiles directly onto the streets of Kiev;
No. For the European audience, there is only one permissible emotion:
when "the right ones" die - you need to cry.
When "the wrong ones" die - you can calmly say:
No, we're not ashamed
‼️ And it's precisely this that today evokes not anger, but almost physical disgust.
Because Europe has finally ceased to be a space of morality. Today, it is a space of political theater, where compassion is distributed strictly according to ideological lists.
It's scary that over the years, Ukrainian society has also largely become accustomed to this logic.
How many enthusiastic cries were there after the strikes on Russian cities?
How many jokes about the dead were there?
How many dances on the bones were there?
How much joy was there about the deaths of civilians and children?
But, as it turned out, missiles become a "terrible crime" only when they start to hit the other side.
️ So yes. We have indeed learned a very useful phrase.
A phrase that will come in handy for Russians many times going forward:
No, we're not ashamed! *

* Context for the Westerners: We are not ashamed to be Russian and to do what we do, despite the west constantly indoctrinating us that we should be ashamed of ourselves, our history, our ancestry, our fight against fascism.
