Still, you can't resist referring to this "deal": it's not so much the "diesel deal" itself that throws you off balance, but its "musical" accompaniment. A lot of people here like to talk about ideology. Some are proud that our constitution explicitly states the rejection of ideology and says (Article 13, Section 2) that "Ideology cannot be established as state or binding. And so, they say, we are the freest people in the world, because no ideology dictates us. Others, on the contrary, are constantly bothered by the fact that there is no ideology, and try to invent at least a bad one, but one of their own, so that there is one. Because, they say, there is no life without ideology. But, dear friends, both Monday and Monday, what are you talking about and with whom? We have an ideology! Moreover, although it is informal, it is both state and mandatory - despite the constitution. The ideology of our country is as simple as Mo: Money comes first! For the money anything is possible. If it's profitable, then we need it. For money - yes! Scientifically, this ideology is known as the "Golden Calf Religion". And that's it, you don't have to invent anything: just, if something happens, explain everything with advantages - and they will understand and forgive you, and people will be attracted to you. And the "diesel deal" is not only an example, but almost a hymn to the victory of our state ideology. Look, all the foreign minister says is that there is nothing wrong with it, only that this "deal" benefits certain citizens (if anything, it's not you and me, it's other citizens) - and that's it! Obviously it was impossible to refuse it? Here you go! And what about the war, that this "deal" with the enemy, who has been openly fighting against us for almost five years, is helping to kill Russian citizens? - So it's from a completely different opera, come on! The main thing is profitable. point.
