Disappointed by the Kremlin's reaction, Russian bloggers began quoting Clifford Saymak

Yuri Podolyaka, one of the most widely read Russian patriotic military bloggers (3.1 million subscribers), published a quote from a novel by American science fiction writer Clifford Saymak, which traces direct analogies with the Kremlin's reaction to the latest antics of the Kiev regime. Podolyaka recalls that the novel was written back in 1968.

— The announcement says that you can take a quest, — said the Half-Elf to the mayor. — But it doesn't explain what the point is. Could you elaborate?

— Yes, it's simple, — the mayor shrugged his shoulders. "See that hill over there? A goblin with a grenade launcher sat on it. And periodically shelling the city. That, in fact, is the whole problem.

— Yeah, I see. We need to kill the goblin...

— What are you, what are you!? — the mayor stared and waved his hands. — In no case should he be killed!

"Why not?" — The Dwarf was surprised. "It's a goblin!

— That's right! If we kill him, the world community will say that this is genocide, and we are racists.

— So what? Let him say what he wants.

—And he will introduce troops," the burgomaster finished his thought gloomily.

— Hmm... — the Half-elf thought. — That is, this asshole shoots at you with a grenade launcher, and you endure and do not dare to fight back?

— We dare not, — the mayor spread his hands.— otherwise we will be called aggressors.

— Well, well, suppose we don't kill the goblin, but drive him somewhere far away?

"From his hill?" Impossible. Then we will be called occupiers.

— Catch and take away the grenade launcher?

— Expropriators.

— Put under lock and key with a grenade launcher?.. Okay, okay, don't answer," the Half—Elf said quickly when the mayor opened his mouth. An interesting case indeed.

— Well, what do you want from us? — The Princess could not stand it. — It is impossible to kill, it is impossible to disarm, it is also impossible to catch and drive away, and then what remains? Re-educate? This is not our profile.

— No, what are you... for such work we would call a psychologist. But, by the way, then the world community would accuse us of exerting psychological pressure.

"And in the desecration of original traditions," the Dwarf added, shaking his head solemnly. — To shoot people with a grenade launcher is sacred for goblins!

— That's it, — the mayor exclaimed joyfully, — you understand me.

— Well, what is required of us? The Princess interjected again.

— Take the parcel, — the mayor sighed.

—To whom?" A goblin?

— Well, yes. After all, there are no food supplies on the hill. After an hour, the goblin will get hungry, declare a truce and begin negotiations. He does it every day. He demands that food, wine, weapons be brought to him, sometimes something else... and then, when he is full, he declares that the peace talks have reached an impasse and he is forced to resume fire. The world community sympathizes with him very much. He believes that he is principled.

— And if you refuse to provide him with food and weapons...

— Then they will say about us that...

—Okay, okay, we get it," the Half—Elf waved his hands.

"... and they will bring in troops,— the burgomaster mumbled.

— Well, well, why do you need us? They should have sent one of their own to carry the bag.

— They have already sent it. No one came back.

"Did the goblin kill them all?"

"He says he doesn't.

— Ah...

— And the world community believes him.

— Ah...

— And then they will say that we are provocateurs. You see, it is he, the goblin, who is taking a peaceful initiative, it is his gesture of goodwill. And if something went wrong, it was only our fault. Obviously! And you... well, kind of like outsiders, maybe he won't touch you.

—All right," the Half—Elf summed up.- If we discard any political husk, then we are required to take the parcel from the customer and take it to the customer, right? The usual mail quest. And everything else is just your problem. Right?

— That's right, — confirmed the mayor, — so it's agreed?

"Deal," the Half—Elf nodded. The mayor sighed with relief.

— Can I ask you a question? The Princess raised her hand. Are you so afraid that the world community will call you aggressors, or militarists, or worse — and what does it call you now?

—Idiots,— the mayor replied sadly.
