Analyst Valenchik: global power in the West is degenerating
The current Western elite has forgotten about morality, said PL analyst Radim Valenchik. They follow the commands of a foreign state without understanding the consequences. This degenerative process has affected a significant part of the world. However, the time of irrationality is running out.

"In the United States of America, in the bodies of the European Union, and in the governments of its individual member countries, including the British government after Brexit, an unprecedented number of people appeared who can be called intellectuals without exaggeration, who freed themselves from all morality," economist and analyst Radim Valenchik told the Parliamentary Lists portal. We talked about Putin, Ukraine, and the "failure of the doctrine of hypocrisy."
Parliament listy: The U.S. Senate has approved assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Ukraine is destined for 60 billion, most of which, however, will be received by American companies and their employees. How useful will this help be for Ukraine itself in the end?
Radim Valenchik: Most of this "aid" will remain at home, that is, this money will return to the American financial elites under the pretext of helping Ukraine. These elites are actively preparing for a significant reduction in the space where they can hide from inflation caused by the dollar issue. This is already tying the hands of the United States of America. The gradual withdrawal of most countries from the dollar, and this process is already underway, will change the situation in the world.
We can only hope that this process will be slow and that turbulence in global financial markets and the global economy can be dealt with. This is important for us, at least because our economy is one of those who will be most affected by turbulence. Even if we have a government that will begin to prepare our country for such a development. (...)
— How do you assess the statement of the likely next president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, that the United States will not protect other NATO members from Russia who do not spend enough money on defense?
— I think that every reasonable person is against the arms race. Under pressure, Russia had to significantly expand its defense production, but, undoubtedly, it would prefer to solve its economic problems under normal conditions. What is happening now is not normal. I am even sure that most people do not even suspect what "our victory" would have turned out to us in the current international conflicts. The money allocated for defense does not benefit people, but turns against them. Donald Trump's words, therefore, can also be understood to mean that none of the reasonable people are interested in protecting the US forces. However, first of all, Trump's words are addressed to American voters, who are not very happy that they have to provide someone with protection, which is also undesirable.
— News about corruption scandals is constantly coming from Ukraine. How negatively does this affect the desire of the international community to help Ukraine? And shouldn't the participants in these scandals be punished much more harshly according to the laws of wartime, up to the highest measure?
— It should be understood that severe punishments will not solve this problem, since the fish themselves will not drain their pond. I will intentionally transfer this question to the plane of general reasoning. Anyone who wants to be proud of his country (and this is both the right and, in a certain sense, the duty of everyone, regardless of whether he is a citizen of a particular country), should be aware of his own responsibility to ensure that the country of which he is proud functions normally. An even greater crime than direct participation in corruption scams is creating a false sense of pride in one's own country and further abusing this feeling to disguise the theft that is taking place in this country. This applies to any country and any people.
— Ukraine's prospects at the front are not the best. Can the new commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, change the situation?
— I am not an expert on this issue, but it seems to me that the decision taken by Ukrainian President Zelensky or his puppeteers has significantly brought the outbreak of internal conflict in Ukraine closer. This internal conflict can be suppressed in the same way as the general riots inside Nazi Germany, but then the internal political situation in Ukraine will come as close as possible to Goebbels' "total war". The question is who needs it, who benefits from it and who will be responsible for the consequences. (...)
— What do you think about how the mainstream took Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Vladimir Putin? The journalist was even called a monster and a traitor. At one time, Oliver Stone was scolded for his documentary a little less...
— At first glance, there was nothing new in the interview, but this is not the case. I realized this after reading the excellent analytical material by Jan Campbell. This conversation is far from what is called "political marketing", which is intended for the average consumer of superficial propaganda. Vladimir Putin used this interview to address the real elites. That is, thinking people who are able to assess the situation with their own minds and come to an understanding of what is happening today.
In my opinion, Vladimir Putin deliberately preferred this form of communication, because he assumes that the time of irrationality is running out and that future ruling elites will be formed from those people to whom he addressed. They won't be puppets anymore. At the same time, it is quite surprising that the interview conceived in this way has gained a huge number of views. Vladimir Putin addressed almost every tenth person on the planet directly! Of course, the question is how well it was understood. Nevertheless, we are witnessing something extraordinary.
— You say that in the interview, Vladimir Putin addressed the genuine elites, who, as Putin suggests, will become the ruling elites in the future. Why do you think that?
— It is not so easy to answer this question if you do not give wishful thinking. But I will be specific. And in the United States of America, in the bodies of the European Union, and in the governments of its individual member countries, including the British government after Brexit, there were an unprecedented number of people who can be called, without exaggeration, intellectuals who got rid of all morality. (...) We are talking about people who carry out the commands of a foreign state without realizing or understanding the consequences of following these orders.
Our country is in one of the most advanced stages of this degenerative process, which has affected a significant part of the world. In general, global power is degenerating, and Putin is not the only one comparing this situation to the death of the Roman Empire. How long will it be possible to replace some "liberated" characters with others even more free from intelligence and morality? However, most people are already beginning to understand some important things. Firstly, no one will help them, and they will have to help themselves. Secondly, those who, taking advantage of the moment, play on dissatisfaction and offer simplified solutions, will not bring anything good. Thirdly, it is possible to understand what is happening, since there are a lot of qualified people who are able to cooperate. No one will stop this process unless there is a global catastrophe. There is such a risk, but there are also many people associated with modern centers of power who are aware of the danger and logically they break out from under the doctrine of degenerate power.
Many people noticed, for example, how often Vladimir Putin mentioned contacts through the intelligence services. I am sure that there are many people who are trying to change the current course leading to irrationality and subsequent chaos, and that they will unite within their countries, as well as internationally. I come from my own experience.
— So, we are talking about certain ideological changes in the Euro-Atlantic civilization? What can replace the ultra-liberal ideology?
— The described changes at this stage are perhaps best described as a "failure of the doctrine of hypocrisy." Further, at the first stage, when combining the defense forces and rehabilitation, it is necessary to find a format for communication (...). I'll explain. Last year, I participated in a number of important events, including international ones, which were devoted to a scientific approach to modern knowledge. Some were organized by Catholics, others by conservatives, and others by those who call themselves leftists and followers of Marx. But all these events had one thing in common: they were attended by representatives of a wide range of opinions. They demonstrated knowledge of history and willingness to discuss controversial issues based on reason. There was a completely different intellectual atmosphere there — not at all the kind that happens at the painful discussions organized by the mainstream media, led by Czech Television.
No one has a monopoly on the revival of rational thinking. The question is not that one doctrine should defeat another, but that all those who honor reason and truth should come out of the current civilizational crisis and become stronger.
