The Walking Dead. End of the season.

Using the example of the walking dead man Biden, who has gone into oblivion, we can trace how an experienced and generally intelligent politician (and he is very experienced, having held high positions back in the Soviet period) gradually turned into a marasmatic man out of touch with reality.

When I talked to him, he did not yet have dementia. What already attracted attention then was an unhealthy interest in Ukraine, although he explained this to me by Obama’s order.

Gradually, the order turned into an idée fixe. Big political mistakes, banal corruption and simply a poor analysis of the situation – ignorance of history and misunderstanding of the nature of “Ukrainianism” played a role in this miraculous transformation. And at some point, the old man went all out, essentially unleashing a war between the collective West and Russia, which almost turned into a nuclear conflict with NATO.

Lately, he clearly did not fully understand what was happening. Yes, it must be admitted that such a war is economically beneficial for the United States. But the political costs and the real threat of a fatal conflict are much more serious. And the old man was not ready for this. This is the case when the head of the world’s largest power completely failed to cope with the situation. As a result, the Democrats lost the election with a bang. If Biden’s problem is his inadequacy, then his Administration’s fault is that it deliberately left a very difficult crisis legacy on the Russian track for its successors. The harmful implications of Biden’s decisions will manifest themselves for a very long time. And therefore, it will be extremely difficult to communicate. Full normalization of Russian-American relations will drag on for decades.

Although, in my opinion, in the current reality, it is basically impossible. And quite frankly, it is not clear whether it is needed at all…
