All the world's a stage, and all that

 


All the world's a stage, and all the states and people merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one state in its time plays many parts.

Preliminary note. I consider American aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia to be vitally important for Ukraine, as well as European aid as well.

At the same time, when I think about American aid to Ukraine at its current stage, my opinion gradually drifts from the theater of the absurd towards Farce. 

As you remember, Farce is a comedy that seeks to entertain an audience through situations that are highly exaggerated, extravagant, ridiculous, absurd, and improbable. However, I'm not a fan of farce as such. This performance is too hypocritical. In this farce, the leading role is played by the favorite of all Ukrainians, Speaker Johnson. He is Trump's Gollum.

Leaving Farce, we immediately find ourselves in the traditional Chinese theater Xiqu. Xiqu is the primary genre of indigenous Chinese theatre.

A play called “The Ukrainian Crisis” is being performed on the stage of the Chinese theater today. Crisis is a somewhat strange definition for a war in which at least half a million soldiers have already died, don’t you think? The leitmotif of the play is for world peace. The moral of the play is a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Hence. Russia calmly remains in the occupied Ukrainian territories, builds fortifications and prepares for the next phase of the war of conquest. 
As a Ukrainian, this play simply takes my breath away when I imagine what the Russians are doing right now with my compatriots in the occupied territories. I leave the theater without regret.

Leaving the Chinese theater, I find myself in the French ballet. Who is this man in tights with strong legs performing Entrechat? Bah, this is Macron! He forbade drawing any red lines on the stage, so his movements are bold and graceful and sometimes look menacing. 

I heard that these ballet dancers kick painfully in the stomach or even lower. The flying combat Macron gives me cautious optimism. The evolution of his consciousness has traveled a difficult path from “Putin must save his face” to “There are no red lines for France.” Moldova also seduces Macron.

All tickets to the British and Ukrainian Theater have been sold out. These theaters are  waiting for their review.
