Идея эссе - запад, особенно штаты, канада и западная Европа, насквозь прогнил и потворствует противоестественным ценностям (однополые отношения, неопределенность пола и проч), в то время как путин является выразителем старых консервативных ценностей и, таким образом, противостоит сумасшествию запада. Повторяется идея про сферы влияния (Украина должна быть под рф), про угрозы голода для миллионов в бедных странах и, как следствие, бурная миграция из африканских и ближневосточных стран. Рф не может проиграть, потому что это ядерная держава. Поэтому, нужно договариваться. А также бороться против сумасшедших либералов на западе, которые нарушают принципы логики и здравомыслия (тут не могу удержаться от прямого цитирования): "There is a principle—the principle of non-contradiction—acceptance of which, in principle, serves as one of foundations for the practice of discourse itself. That principle is the assertion that it is fundamentally unreasonable—irredeemably irrational—to claim that A and not-A are identical. Why? Because if you can claim that a thing is what it is and what it is not simultaneously then you can claim anything whatsoever, and if you can claim anything whatsoever as true, then it is impossible to talk with you. You have departed from the sphere of reason and reasonable discourse. You have departed from the realm of the rational. This means that you have become deranged. This means that you have become degenerate. This means that all who fail to call you on your deranged degeneration have become rowers on the same doomed boat. This means that you and all those who do not call you out have become insane."
