The interview with Tucker Carlson in Russian has been translated hastily and not quite correctly. On the whole, everything can be understood. But there are a few nuances. I am talking to an American and addressing the American public as a priority. Judging by the thousands of comments, they understood me perfectly well.
So here it is: in the political language of the modern States there are common terms — for example, woke, wokeism — that we do not use.
It is a call to all liberals to immediately write denunciations of those who differ from the LGBT (banned in Russia) agenda, or from critical racial theory (the same needs clarification, but that is for another time), who question internationalism and globalism, who question the need to protect illegal and any migration. Then there is the vilification of all patriots and conservatives (present and historical) by accusing them of "fascism." Apparently wokeism is now being actively mastered by the younger generation of the CRPF, but they are not the ones I am addressing.
The logic is as follows: woke left-liberal identifies a victim (conservative), writes a series of denunciations, makes a video on YouTube, Instagram (banned in Russia), gathers a flash mob, etc., and then canceling comes into play — inspections at the place of work, biased interviews reminiscent of interrogations, commissioned articles, and then dismissal, ostracism, search pessimization in social networks, financial checks, ban on loans, account disconnection — in extreme cases, murder (of the figurehead himself or a relative).
A complete cycle of left-liberal terror. With a historical figure, the same thing is done to his legacy — books (paintings, movies) are censored or banned, his place in the query hierarchy drops dramatically in search engines, a defamation section appears on Wikipedia that cannot be removed. This process can affect Dante, Dostoevsky, Rowling, and even Scripture if it is found not politically correct enough.Therefore, when I say "woke" I am immediately understood by everyone in the USA. But in our country, we would have to publish a whole article with explanations and examples, after which many of our domestic leftists and left-liberals would be ashamed (if they have a conscience, and this still needs to be proven).
Comment: It remains to be seen just what is going on, but what is clear is that the West is using this situation to smear Russia, which in itself is highly suspect.
Whilst Russia may indeed, at certain times, be testing out, or even sending a warning, with certain electronic warfare equipment, it is unlikely to do so at the expense of the safety of civilians.
On a related note, the West has suffered a litany of military blunders of late: Denmark fires defence chief, withdraws frigate from Red Sea operation, over ship's dangerous 'technical issues'
And there have been other odd occurrences in the civilian arena:
