Why he ghosted me
Why Did He Ghost Me? Men Reveal The Real Reasons They Ghost
If you’re currently elbows-deep in a pint of ice cream wondering why the person you’ve been dating for the past month suddenly stopped calling or texting you back, you’re totally not alone. Being ghosted sucks, and unfortunately, it happens all too often. A 2o2o study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health actually found that 13 percent to 23 percent of U.S. adults have been ghosted. Hell, even the Duchess of freaking Sussex was reportedly ghosted by a dude who seemed to like her in the beginning.
Unfortunately, getting ghosted (and even ghosting a few people yourself!) is just part of the dating game. And while it may be tempting to comb through every single text, DM, and phone call to try to figure out why they went all Casper on you, everyone’s reasons for wanting to end things are different. But why do dudes who seem to like you suddenly freak out and bail without any explanation?
The answer has a little bit to do with human nature, explains Niloo Dardashti, PhD, a psychologist and relationship expert in New York City. “You feel something very strongly, and then after you actually get to know the person, you see their real self and things change,” she adds. It’s hard not to take it personally when you get ghosted, but remember: Being ghosted doesn’t necessarily mean the person didn’t like you at one point.
“I think it’s very likely that you could have feelings for someone and just be so overloaded with choice and people around you, you aren’t in tune with what’s really right for you,” says Dardashti.
Other than that, ghosting can happen for other reasons beyond your control, as Kamil Lewis, AMFT, a sex and relationships expert, says. It’s possible that maybe the person just wasn’t ready for a relationship at the time or someone else came into the picture.
Other common ghosting reasons? They might fear conflict and thus, by ghosting, says Lewis, think they’re sparing themselves of having to go through an official “breakup.” They could also be fearful that if they try to break up with you properly, they’ll be persuaded to stay in a relationship they really don’t want to be in.
(Remember: None of these are good excuses. You deserve way better than having to convince someone to keep dating you. Like, way better.)
And sure, while it’d be a bit more polite to end a relationship with a real conversation, not everyone has the courage to reject someone properly or the communication skills to express their feelings. For some real talk on the matter, we spoke to dudes who ghosted girls they admittedly liked at the beginning (and sometimes also at the end!) to get to the bottom of why people ghost. Here’s what they had to say.
Ryan*, 27, ghosted someone who might’ve come on a bit too strong.
“We went on two dates, with a decent connection, but one based on physical attraction more than anything else,” he said. “We hooked up and I stayed the night at her place after the second date.” It wasn’t until the next morning when things started to go south.
“She was out when I woke up, but in my phone was a text from her detailing all the places she needed a ride to, our whole weekend mapped out, which friends I’d need to pick up, and more.
I was a bit freaked out and let her know I was busy. Within a couple of hours, I had five missed calls and more texts insisting that we needed to do these things to make it a good weekend, with an increasingly salty tone. I let her know that night that I didn’t want to continue seeing her—we fought, and she demanded I go see her in person to give her closure. When I explained it was too much for me, and she still wasn’t listening, I bowed out and stopped responding.”
Anthony*, 28, ghosted a coworker when he realized it was getting serious.
“She was super sweet and clearly liked me, which kind of freaked me out since I knew that meant this would be heading toward a relationship rather than just a hookup,” he said. “I really think it came down to me being a selfish person who thought that because my intent was never to hurt anyone, that made it okay to just drop off the face of the earth. I just really didn’t know what it meant to be actually vulnerable with people or articulate what I want versus just going with the flow and people-pleasing, and I took out my anxiety/frustration on others.
And I was good at convincing myself I was doing her a favor by ghosting her.”
John*, 28, ghosted a girl after a month when he couldn’t tell whether she was interested.
“I met this woman through a dating app and we went out to drinks, talked, kissed, and planned to see each other again. We ended up going out a handful of times, hooked up a few times, and she stayed over too. I cooked her a birthday dinner, did all the cute things, and thought it was going well for about a month. I liked her a good bit.
“She rarely ever texted me or called. I couldn’t tell if she was just not interested or if she needed me to make all the effort.
“I tried talking to her IRL about it but got nothing from her, so I just stopped texting her, and she never reached out. I felt like if she wasn’t going to make the effort, then it wasn’t worth continuing to try—especially after I tried to have a convo in person about it.
“I’m a big communicator. I’m not afraid of those tough convos and I prefer to be up-front. But when someone just gives me nothing, even if our in-person hangs are stellar, things just feel off.”
William, 28, ghosted a girl after he realized her emotional outbursts were taking a toll on his own health and a sign of a toxic relationship.
“I met this girl in the summer of 2014, just before transferring universities. I thought she was stunning. We exchanged numbers and dated throughout spring and summer of 2014. We enjoyed hot dates, great sex—it was awesome.
“All along, she had emotional tantrums, and they worsened over time. They were frustrating and difficult to deal with. One time, it resulted in her speeding at 101 mph around 2 a.m. and another was her throwing a fit in front of my mother—among other examples.
“It was frustrating and emotionally draining.
I felt like I was walking on eggshells around her and could no longer stand her. Adults shouldn’t be throwing tantrums, and I thought it was a sign of emotional immaturity and definitely a red flag for a toxic relationship.
“I wound up ghosting her when I transferred schools. She would send me lots of messages, saying she really missed me, and long emotional messages for months afterward and they started giving me the creeps after a while. I never replied to any of her messages.”
Mark*, 22, ghosted a girl he was seeing for a couple of months until he decided she was “a little annoying.”
“I met this girl my senior year of college. We had a ton of mutual friends throughout school, but I never really made any effort to get to know her,” he says. “We had some people over toward the end of the year after the bars and we just kind of hit it off.”
They started seeing each other regularly for a month or two and all was going well…until they went golfing with his friends one day.
“At first, everything was fine and we were all having fun. But by the time we made it through the front nine, she was already complaining about how bored she was and how much more fun she would’ve had doing anything else,” he recalled.
“It was a little annoying, and I wasn’t looking for anything serious at the time, so I felt fine just going separate ways after graduation.” He stopped responding to her texts and Snaps altogether.
Dan*, 19, decided he was in too deep when the woman he was seeing let her know how much she liked him—which spooked him.
“I met this girl who was a friend of a friend and she seemed chill and normal, so we ended up exchanging Snaps. Then a week later, we made plans to hang out,” he says. “We went on a super-low-key date where we just went up to the top of some hill and ate while we watched the sunset.”
“We kissed for a bit, and while we were kissing, she started giggling.
I was like, ‘Uhhhhh, what’s up?’ and she said, ‘This is gonna sound dumb, but when I first met you, I had a really good feeling about you and me.’” Dan admits he thought what she said was a little weird but said he felt the same way too.
“Then she got super wide-eyed and said, ‘I swear to god, sparks flew! I knew you felt that connection too. I knew it.’” Let’s just say, that freaked Dan out even more. “I was pretty rattled about that, and I was like, ‘Yeah, maybe things might be moving a bit too fast.’ So after that, I just stopped texting or Snapping her even though I did still kind of like her.”
Daveed, 27, had a pretty legit reason for ghosting.
“I hooked up with a married woman (she also had two kids). At the time, she told me she was divorced. Sadly, that was a lie, which I found out via social media. She ended up texting, Snapchatting, and Instagramming me. I had to go ghost mode because I felt guilty.
”
Axle*, 26, ghosted a woman he originally really liked because she was rude to his friends.
He met her out, and the two immediately hit it off. “I ended up hooking up with her that night and got breakfast the next day. I thought she was super cool,” he says.
“We went out a couple of times, and then the first time I brought her to introduce her to friends, she got kind of drunk and super weird. She wasn’t friendly at all and made fun of one of my friends. I kind of ditched her that night, and she texted me the next morning apologizing. I was like, ‘Oh, no, I get it. It happens.’ But then, afterward, never spoke to her again.”
Colby, 26, ghosted his girlfriend of a year and a half after he found out she was cheating on him.
“She had been acting distant and different, straying from our normal routine of calling and FaceTiming (because this was a long-distance relationship),” he says.
“Her friend felt so bad for me, she ended up telling me. I didn’t feel like she deserved my energy anymore, which is why I ghosted. A formal breakup would’ve only led to a heated argument where she tried to explain why she did it and that she’ll never do it again, but the trust was broken.”
Anand, 43, ghosted a woman because she was super ambitious and destined for greatness—he just didn’t have those same aspirations for himself.
Anand met her through a mutual friend eight years ago. They hit it off instantly and wound up dating on and off for years. To this day, Anand says she’s “amazing beyond description.” So why ghost someone so obviously awesome?
“It wasn’t an instant ghosting decision, but I just knew I’d hold her back somehow,” he says. “It was becoming clear that no matter how it played out, she’d most likely end up compromising for me. I just can’t let a woman like that compromise herself, especially not to that drastic of an extent.
I couldn’t even take the risk of giving her that choice nor the chance to salvage the relationship via traditional breakup talk.”
Axle, 26 (yes, same dude as above) ghosted again because he wasn’t ready for anything serious.
“I was originally set up with this woman by my friend. We went on a bunch of double dates, and I liked her as someone to date but not to turn into a girlfriend. It was summer, and I wanted to be single and have fun. Then she tagged me in a picture of us with my friend and his girlfriend together, so I untagged myself to make it clear I didn’t want to be in a relationship. She got the hint, but then I met another girl, fell in love, and just completely ghosted the other girl.”
Moral of the story? A ghoster’s reasons for ghosting are often all about them—they’re not ready for a real relationship, real feelings, real conversations—and have nothing to do with you.
So if you ever do get ghosted, walk away from that situation knowing you dodged a bullet and you’re better off moving on.

Why Men Ghost - Reasons He Ghosted According To An Expert
Here's a scenario: You’re talking to someone for a while, they seem super interested in you and then *poof* the communication comes to a screeching halt.
If you've ever been ghosted before, then you're probably familiar with that play-by-play.
According to a 2018 study from Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, out of 1,300 people surveyed, a quarter of them had been ghosted by a partner. And a fifth reported ghosting someone themselves.
While the term ghosting sounds like a harmless prank you play on Halloween, the act itself can be super hurtful. “You've established communication, you've established rapport, regular lines of contact, and all of a sudden that person just leaves and you have no way to contact them,” explains Natalie Jones, PsyD. “Basically that person holds all the cards in terms of line of communication,” she adds. And that can leave you feeling disregarded, undervalued and just plain crappy.
So why do people ghost? After all, how complicated can it be to text, “I think you’re a great person, but TBH, I don’t think we’re compatible because [insert truthful or bullsh*t reason here]?" That’s all you have to do to end things without completely disappearing.
And yet, so many people will choose to leave you hanging instead.
According to Jones, someone’s reason for ghosting you likely has little do with you at all. Instead, she explains that it's often a sign of their own emotional immaturity, attachment issues, and more. Read on to see why your last S.O. might have pulled a disappearing act.
1. They're with someone else.
It's a hard pill to swallow, but the person who ghosted you might have been seeing other people at the same time they were seeing you. And when things started getting serious—they sensed that you wanted commitment or there was a reoccurring fight about meeting each other's friends—they fell back and moved onto the next person, Jones explains. Harsh, but also unfortunately true.
2. They're emotionally immature.
A.k.a. they're a bad communicator. "This person definitely made promises that they couldn't keep," Jones explains.
Maybe they said they'd love to go on a trip with you and then flaked. Being emotionally immature is all about these inconsistencies between what they say and what they do, the expert adds. It's this inconsistency that usually takes charge when they're ghosting you after they already said they were ready to settle down. *shakes head*

3. They're not interested in committing to
you.Sometimes, it takes a date or two or a few to get a read on somebody, and when a guy or girl decides early-ish on that they're just not that into you, they might disappear. His line of thinking might be that he doesn’t owe you an explanation since you hadn’t been messing with each other’s feelings for long enough to really warrant one. Or it could be that she doesn't think she can give you what you're looking for in particular (read: a long-term relationship.
). "It's the role that they're afraid of. They're feeling like they can't live up to the expectation of fulfilling that relationship with you," Jones says. And in that case, you don't want them anyway.
4. They're going through something personal.
This one is an occasionally justifiable reason for ghosting someone (IMO!)—and one that I think you can bounce back from. Let's say you just started talking to someone and their close friend dies, and they don't know how to unload all of this on someone new. That situation could warrant a second chance.
There just needs to be, "solid proof that they've done the work, or that they put in the time to actually change and work through whatever the issue was," Jones says. And you (the person who was ghosted!) would need to actually forgive them. Otherwise, you'll end up getting back together, and every time you're in a fight, the ghosting will come up again. And nobody will like that.
5. They're dealing with anxiety.
Generalized anxiety often stems from fears, including abandonment or not being perfect, which can easily trickle down into one's relationship. And so because the person is anxious in love, it can be very difficult for them to settle into or get comfortable in a relationship, Jones says. They may actually do things to self sabotage (think: ghosting).
6. There's a safety concern in the relationship.
Let's face it: Sometimes someone might ghost because they feel they have no other option. (Btw, it's not just women who feel unsafe in relationships: 49 percent of men have experienced at least one psychologically aggressive behavior by an intimate partner and four out of 10 men have experienced at least one form of coercive control by an intimate partner in their lifetime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.) "Sometimes the only way to walk away from a toxic relationship is to just disappear," Jones says.
7. They don't want to get too attached.
Maybe the person you're seeing moved around a lot as a kid or grew up in a chaotic family environment where people were always moving in and out of their life. Jones often sees these early adolescent experiences play out in current relationships. "They learned very early on that people, places, and things weren't stable," Jones explains. And as a safety mechanism, they try not to get too emotionally attached to any one person, place, or thing (see, not your fault!).

8. They got what they wanted from you.
This is, I fear, very common. "People use people," Jones says. That could mean financially, sexually or in the workplace. Once they feel like they've accomplished what they wanted to accomplish, they'll disappear. And the truth is: "They weren't really ever interested in a relationship with you.
You were kind of approached under the guise that they were," Jones explains.
The bottom line: If someone ghosts you, there could be a good reason for it. But it might also be a sign they're not ready for a relationship, in which case, you shouldn't waste your time on them either.

sleep paralysis and why it happens
“When I wake up, I find I can't move. I try to say something, but I can't. I can hear everything around me very clearly. Sometimes I can open my eyes to see what is happening in front of me. Sometimes I get scared, and I try to fight, but nothing comes out.
I start breathing deeper. My children have learned to recognize my condition by the sound of my breath. They touch me, and now I can move, talk, look around. This is how a patient with sleep paralysis, which haunted her since childhood, described her life.
This woman was quoted in 1942 by M.D. in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. The woman at that time was 69 years old. At first, these attacks of paralysis happened to her only at night, then they began to manifest themselves after daytime sleep. Sometimes they happened several times a week, at other times they could be absent for months.
Demon on chest
This lady's case is far from unique. According to some estimates, approximately 8% of the human population has experienced sleep paralysis at least once in their lives. A disorder in which, falling asleep or waking up, a person falls into a state of a weak-willed doll, unable to move his limbs or even ask for help, tearing out at least some sound from his chest.
Paralysis can last from a few seconds to several minutes. It would seem that quite a bit, but during this time a person who is conscious, but unable to control his body, can be pretty scared.
Especially when the next attack is accompanied by auditory or audiovisual hallucinations: steps in the room, sighs, voices and shadows somewhere in the periphery of vision. To this may be added a feeling of heaviness on the chest, as if someone had put his hard and cold hand on it.
Naturally, sleep paralysis is not a modern invention.
The first well-documented case of sleep paralysis was described in a 17th century medical treatise by the Dutch physician Isbrand van Diemerbreck, whose patient was a 50-year-old woman in good health.
- When she tried to sleep, she sometimes believed that the devil was lying on her and holding her. Sometimes she was suffocated by a large dog or a thief that lay on her chest so that she could hardly speak or breathe.
And when she tried to throw them off, she simply could not move her limbs, - the doctor described the woman's story.
Devils, demons… Sleep paralysis can be called the progenitor of many creatures from the demonic pantheon in the folklore of different countries. This disorder was told in ancient manuscripts. True, they called it differently and associated it with the world of the paranormal.
Canadian Eskimos, for example, considered such a limp state on the border of sleep and wakefulness to be tricks of shamans who took away a person's ability to move. In Japanese culture, the culprit is a vengeful spirit that strangles its enemies while they sleep. In Nigerian, it is a female demon. In Brazilian folklore, a character named Pisadeira fits the description of sleep paralysis. This is an old woman with long nails, who roams the roofs at night and jumps on the chest of those who go to bed on their backs on a full stomach.
In Slavic mythology, the description of the latter includes mara - a ghost that strangles sleeping people at night, leaning on them from above and bringing terrible dreams with it.
Similar unpleasant paranormal entities in the mythologies of other European countries have similar names. Actually, the origins of the French word nightmare (cauchemar) and the English nightmare can also be found somewhere in that direction. No wonder the series of paintings "Nightmare" by Henry Fuseli is inspired by stories about ghosts and sleep paralysis. But today is not about etymology.
Demons of science
As we have already found out, supernatural beings are blamed for the causes of sleep paralysis for a reason. Visual and sound hallucinations, which are accompanied by paralysis of all organs, were difficult to explain to science a hundred or two hundred years ago, when religion and zabobons ruled the life of a person. A blurred state of consciousness on the border of sleep and wakefulness is definitely capable of giving rise to demons, especially when a person begins to panic and does not understand the reasons for his helpless state.
From a scientific point of view, the hallucinations that accompany sleep paralysis are usually divided into three types: "intruder", "unusual bodily experiences", "incubus".
"Intruder" is characterized by a feeling of fear and an unpleasant presence, accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations. By "unusual bodily experiences" (vestibular-motor hallucinations) is meant a feeling of floating and the impression that the patient has left his body and can observe it from the side. "Incubus" refers to the sensation of an object pressing on the chest and shortness of breath.
As we have said, sleep paralysis does not often become a chronic problem. Much more often - just an episode in life. Bad episode. Up to 90% of sleep paralysis attacks are accompanied by an inexplicable, almost animal fear. This contrasts markedly with the statistics, which suggest that only about a third of the average person's dreams can be described as frightening or disturbing.
However, in a clinical setting, it is quite difficult for doctors to study this disorder, since it is difficult to provoke it. And it can be difficult for the patient himself to figure out when he actually woke up, and when he has a dream that he woke up and could not move.
Like sleep paralysis, false awakening can be very realistic.
Just above we mentioned 8% as a possible indicator of how many people on earth could experience sleep paralysis. But this is an estimate. In some groups, it can be much higher. For example, studies among patients in psychiatric clinics showed that 31.9% of them experienced this unpleasant sensation after waking up. In patients with panic disorder, the percentage of "witnesses to paralysis" was 34.6. It also turned out that people of Caucasian race are much less likely to experience such attacks. And yes, the study was conducted in the USA.
Causes of sleep paralysis
Some researchers are inclined to believe that the occurrence of sleep paralysis may be associated with REM sleep, when the human brain has increased activity. You can recognize it by the rapid movement of the eyeballs under the eyelids. In this phase, we dream.
During REM sleep, the human body is practically paralyzed: only vital organs work.
Muscle tone is reduced by signals sent from the brain by certain neurotransmitters (gamma-aminobutyric acid and glycine). This system prevents sleeping animals from actually performing the movements they do in their sleep. The French physiologist Michel Jouvet demonstrated this back in the last century on cats, when, as a result of experiments and the removal of certain areas in the brain stem, his experimental subjects ran, washed and chewed during sleep.
In 1993, scientists Dalitz and Parks suggested that the lack of synchronization between changes in the brain and a decrease in muscle tone may provoke sleep paralysis. As a result, a person wakes up as a weak-willed doll that cannot even cry.
But why is there such an out of sync in the work of the brain and muscles? We understood the specific mechanism, but we have not fully decided on the reasons. Some researchers suggest that genetics is to blame. Others offer to look for reasons in the everyday nuances of our lives, advise patients who are tormented by sleep paralysis to sleep more, adhere to a clear sleep schedule, and do not abuse alcohol and pills.
First of all, Chinese and Japanese researchers came to this conclusion: first of all, you need to sleep well so that demons do not come to sit on your chest in the morning. 90,000 teenagers participated in the survey. 35.2% of them had nightmares at night, and 8.3% experienced sleep paralysis. After processing the results, the researchers concluded that a long daytime sleep, too early or late going to bed, difficulty falling asleep, the presence of daytime sleepiness increase the chances of provoking paralysis.
In another study at Waseda University in Tokyo in 1992, an experiment was conducted on 16 volunteers who had already encountered a sleep demon at least twice in their lives. For seven nights they remained within the university walls, the researchers systematically waking them up after 40 minutes of slow-wave sleep, giving them a 40-minute test, and then letting them fall asleep for a short while. After 5 minutes from the onset of REM sleep, the subjects were awakened again.
Of the 64 interventions, 6 resulted in an attack of sleep paralysis. And all six were associated with REM sleep.
Modern knowledge of sleep paralysis is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, significant progress has been made in the study of demons that have frightened people around the world for centuries.

After Putin's words about Ukraine's plans, I wanted to exhale
Policy Plot: DNR, LNR, Ukraine: escalation 96276
Share
The liberal Internet is very fond of such a game - for example, compose your ideal government of the beautiful Russia of the future from various foreign agents.
Like all stupidity, this one is also very contagious. Therefore, I imagined how three people stood at the head of the SVO with the blessing of Vladimir Vladimirovich and Sergey Kuzhugetovich - Medvedev, Prigozhin and Kadyrov ...
Medvedev as a strategist - because, firstly, he owns a cast in granite: “They are bastards and geeks. They want death for us, Russia. And as long as I'm alive, I will do everything to make them disappear." Secondly, during the week, Medvedev again lashed out, commenting on what was happening: “Someone Zelensky said that he would not conduct a dialogue with those who put forward ultimatums. The current "ultimatums" are a children's warm-up for the demands of the future. And he knows them: the total capitulation of the Kyiv regime on Russia’s terms.” Under the children's warm-up, Dmitry Anatolyevich meant strikes on critical infrastructure, which, however, even without him in recent days were not bright in autumn and carrying floods.
But it seems to me that Medvedev would have condemned the whole Ukraine to swords and fires for a violent raid (see Kharkov region), and plunged it into darkness and cold in two weeks. And there it is not far from total surrender. What more could you want?
Prigozhin - political officer. From the fresh video with the agitation of the prisoners breathed the imperial spirit, the invincible power of the Warriors of Fury, the eternity and holiness of the motto "Victory or death". Although, it would seem, why? On the gray video, there is only something - a black square of convicts and some kind of slightly pot-bellied due to age, short-haired man in sand-colored clothes in front of them. It is important what and how he said. Well, for example, “those who started fighting with me” (note that he speaks not with me, but with me), “no one surrenders, in this case there are two grenades”, “went into the trench and cut out the enemy knives”, “those who have not decided on the funeral, we will bury it at our chapel”.
Prigozhin commented a little later: they are fighting successfully because their commanders, together with them, “climb basements and trenches” in order to understand the situation in reality. Honesty, personal example and understanding of problems - that's the whole secret of success. And when, for example, the head of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, Dmitry Shugaev, says: “Russia has no problems with drones, they are the best and there are enough of them,” do the soldiers on the front line believe him? It's a pity that they seem to believe at the top.
Kadyrov will be responsible for information work. Not afraid to talk to people and call a spade a spade. Here at the beginning of the week: “... mistakes were made, I think they will draw conclusions. You have to tell the truth even to your face, I always like to tell the truth.” And then, don, "in the last days we receive information, but there is no concrete explanation." And most importantly, he can admit failure, but at the same time he still infects with optimism and confidence. Why are you sitting and waiting? Well, let's self-mobilize! The effect, by the way, went immediately. For two days, the governors of Kursk, Voronezh, Magadan, Kemerovo regions and the head of Crimea supported the idea. Yes, and Kadyrov looks colorful and solid - some berets are worth something.
But, of course, these are all fantasies. In life, we seem to be implementing the principle of three "P" - consistency, gradualness and constancy. Here you can relax - not only here.
Recently, NATO admitted that they started planning their expansion near the borders of Russia "several years ago." We are talking about the deployment of brigade-level battle groups in countries bordering Russia, which will be prepared for transformation into larger formations if necessary. This was announced by the head of the Alliance's Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer, in Tallinn following a meeting of the NATO Chiefs of Staff. “Planning for this started a few years ago, and now we are putting these plans into action,” he said. Checkmate, those who like to argue that if there were no NWO, there would not be such a concentration of NATO troops on our borders.
And we had a great example this week – the SCO summit. Yes, the SCO itself is an example of the implementation of the three P's. Well, what, besides a smile among the adherents of the "enlightened West" could cause in 2001 the decision of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan to create the SCO? Ay, they say, third world countries are puffing up something there. But now, slowly, step by step, steadily growing and developing... And on you, a new world center of power. Half of the world's population lives in the SCO member countries. Now Iran has joined, Turkey has declared that membership in the SCO is its goal.
But, of course, the most interesting thing for us was Vladimir Vladimirovich's speech at the SCO about the NWO. Also, by the way, about consistency and constancy. From which we learned that the NWO is "not a warning, but a special military operation. " That is, it turns out that she still has some kind of political restriction, so Zelensky is still alive and photographed, for example, in Izyum. However, the framework of this political limitation is set by Russia: “We see attempts to carry out terrorist attacks, we really respond to this with restraint, but for the time being” and our “recent strikes were a warning.” But the NVO does not have a time limit - “the offensive operation does not stop, but we are in no hurry” and we will see how the Ukrainian counteroffensive ends. And, of course, the most important thing: “They announced that they would not seek any agreements with Russia, but would seek victory on the battlefield. Flag in hand,” Putin said. These words can really breathe.
Although, of course, at the level of "trench truth" it was not very possible to exhale. Shelled (with human casualties) settlements on the territory of Russia. Attacks were made on decision-making centers (on ours - the administration of Kherson, the prosecutor's office in Lugansk). Ukrovoyaks furiously beat Donetsk... But the Russian army did not remain in debt, turning, like a giant meat grinder, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine rushing forward on the southern front into mincemeat. If you look at the figures of Ukraine's losses, you can see that this has not happened for a long time.
And in international life, Poland threw out an amazing knee, demanding (the Sejm adopted a decision) astronomical reparations from Germany. For World War II. Like, Soviet Poland refused reparations, and now it’s not like just now. Everything would be fine, but according to this logic, the Poles will first have to revive the Third Reich from the Germans, Germany also seems to have changed since May 45th. Laughter, laughter, but it seems that all these disassemblies will end (not without the condescending participation of Russia) with the fact that Lviv will be a Polish city - they will bargain.
At the end of the week Maxim Galkin was recognized as a foreign agent. Now he will definitely be appointed Minister of Culture. Do not be afraid, not here, but somewhere out there, in the liberal Internet. Where is not life, but a miserable parody.
