The Belarusian Authorities Have a Dissociative Identity Disorder

Their speeches on TV are completely impossible to understand.

Hi, honey.

My hard fate made me watch TV again. I'm not complaining, I'm not bragging, I'm just stating a fact. I, of course, am not a psychotherapist and not even a psychosurgeon. But somehow I have a feeling that the Belarusian authorities suddenly have a dissociative identity disorder. Because it is completely impossible to understand them on TV: either the sanctions are harmful, or, on the contrary, we do not have enough of them in our body. First, they tell you that the sanctions will cheer up and stimulate the economy, and, after the sanctions, it will be better and even more economical. And, a minute later, they are already frightened by hunger riots and desperate working people. And, characteristically, it happens that all this is told by the same person. And how can an ordinary mind understand this confusing macroeconomic unreality?

Although, it seems to me that even the extraordinary minds of the Belarusian authorities themselves have become entangled in this unreality. Previously, they could at least pretend that they possess secret knowledge about the prospects for economic development. About the rate of GDP growth to predict something or to declare what inflation they want for themselves at the end of the year. All the same, the inflation then grew at random, but it was possible at least to portray the illusion of control. And now, all their forecasts are at once the pluperfect, in the meaning of "irrelevant past." Because what is the use of forecasts if you do not know where you will be stimulated with sanctions next time?

It was discovered on Saturday that a German bank had canceled a promised loan for the purchase of turbines for the Belarusian nuclear power plant. But no one was going to approve the nuclear power plant together with the power industry. Refineries were threatened. Banks scared. Belaruskali was promised all sorts of troubles. And there was no question of energy. And it was the first to suffer. And where is the justice? And how can the Belarusian authorities continue to exist in such tragic uncertainty?

But uncertainty about your future increases the overall level of anxiety. And because of the high level of anxiety, the most exotic mental disorders can occur. And it turns out that the left half of the government says one thing, while the right half says something completely different. Even when they speak with the same mouth.

And so, on the one hand, seemingly foreign minister Makei summons ambassadors to himself in order to make a diplomatic act of intimate conversation with them. On the other hand, some are trying to arrange the collapse of the eastern borders of the European Union by illegal migrants. And, of course, against the background of the borders collapse, conversations turn out to be not so sincere. Moreover, then the same minister of the same affairs calls his partners pygmies.

And, of course, this dissociative disorder in speech and, most importantly, in actions does not add stability, predictability, or confidence in the future. How can we expect predictability from the Belarusian authorities if you do not know which incarnation it will turn to you this time?
