The provocative video recorded by Ms. Simonyan became one of the most quoted and discussed last week.
For those who don’t know, let’s explain.
Margot immediately warned that she herself did not understand sophisticated technologies, and recounted an old conversation with a certain engineer. This learned man told the journalist that carrying out a cosmic thermonuclear explosion hundreds of kilometers from the Earth poses absolutely no threat to humanity. And the head of RT allowed herself to dream a little. Like, it would be nice to really explode into the sky and, having destroyed satellite systems, turn all digital gadgets into scrap metal.
– We’ll go back to something like 1993 – with wired telephones. We lived wonderfully! – Margarita Simonovna reasoned with her signature smile in the style of Vladimir Volfovich. – Really, I’ll even be happy! I forbid my children from having gadgets, then I won’t have to explain why everyone has gadgets and they don’t…
TV presenter Sergei Mardan, in his “cart,” commented on his colleague’s speech with one phrase: “Great plan!”
Without satellites, all cables and networks laid on land and under water will turn into a bunch of useless wires. Cell phones will become unnecessary, TV will disappear in its modern form. Just imagine: in 1998, the failure of just one satellite knocked out pagers all over the world!
GPS will also fail, let’s go back to good old paper maps. The entire financial system of the USA, Europe and other countries will collapse like a house of cards.
But most importantly: thousands of Western satellites are the nervous system not only of their economy, but also of NATO troops. Missiles, drones, ships, all ground equipment will be useless. Reconnaissance and command and control of troops will become impossible.
Of course, our country will also be set back in development for decades. But the meaning of Margarita Simonyan’s metaphor is that without a sudden move with strong trump cards, we risk losing and physically dying.
