Тема: WHY DOES THE AMERICAN ESTABLISHMENT HATE RUSSIA SO MUCH?
Вс Июн 05, 2016 5:40 pm
I do know, and my quotations collection shows, that hostility to Russia never stopped – or even moderated – after the USSR collapsed. Even in 1990 there were people insisting that nothing was real that was happening because Russia, in its very essence, was expansionist, dictatorial and hostile to "our values." Any so-called changes were only illusions calculated to gull the simple-minded. The only possible Russia was the Enemy Russia: all Russians qua Russians – never mind the absence of the temporary Soviet carapace – imagined, thought about, dreamed of, was enmity to Us and to Our Values. Russophobes – not Russia-fearers really, but Russia-haters – had little audience as long as it seemed that Russia was sinking into insignificance. With the revival of Russia's prospects this century the Russia-haters have come to dominate the discussion. We hear that Russia is an "existential threat" to the USA. That charge, at least, is true: Russia's nuclear weaponry could obliterate the USA and render it uninhabitable for decades or centuries. (At the same cost to itself, of course). But the UK, France or China could cause unacceptable damage, if not outright obliteration, too. However, Washington doesn't worry about the first two and is not obsessed about the third. And one would think that Russia's nuclear might should have been a reason to treat it with circumspection. Apparently not. To any objective viewer Russia is not the aggressor. Those who believe that "Putin wants a new Russian empire" should – but never do – explain why he missed the chance to bag Georgia in 2008. Those who believe Russia has invaded Ukraine, never explain why the invader still hasn't managed to get past the Donetsk Airport. A strange reluctance to take the full mouthful: a reluctance that cries out for an explanation. But no explanation is ever presented: in their vision Russia is forever reaching but never grasping, powerful but impotent, determined but indecisive. It's not Russia that expanded its military alliance up to the "doorstep" of the USA. It's not Russia that has fomented, or tried to foment, "colour revolutions" in Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Guatemala or the USA itself. Russian military bases do not surround the USA. Its media is not full of stories about Obama's mistresses, offshore accounts, "information war", "hybrid war", troll factories, thuggish propensities, hatred of homosexuals, determination to conquer neighbours, bare chested macho posing, persecution of rock groups, murder of opponents.
