War is the health of the state, and if you don’t have an actual war to promote fear and the acceptance of tyranny, at least manufacture an enemy. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
The US exploited this perception to reassert its hegemony over Europe, after which it designated Germany as its “Lead From Behind” partner for containing Russia there on its behalf via the “military Schengen” and the “Baltic Defense Line”.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a popular Russian journalist that “They [politicians in EU countries] need to continue to construct an image of the enemy, to do it in a textured, prominent way, in order to justify the increase in spending. And, you see, the allocation of 50 billion – on the one hand, for the EU this amount is not a very big deal, but on the other hand it is still noticeable against the backdrop of the crisis markers manifesting themselves in the economies of EU countries.”
I’m lovin’ the Kremlin comment about the EPIC Tucker/Putin interview stating that he doesn’t have the same bias as the Mockingbird enemedia complex.
He doesn’t have the Jan Brady derangement of muh Russia, Russia, Russia speaking of we must have an Emmanuel Goldstein boogieman.
This just in from the devastating MC Mel Brooks:
The Russians are coming, let’s get out of here!
China seeks “to uphold the spirit of mutual assistance and friendship from generation to generation, and work together to write a new chapter in China-Russia relations,” Xi told Putin, as quoted by national media.
The Chinese leader hailed Russia’s current presidency of BRICS, a group of non-Western economic powers that recently welcomed five new members. He pledged Beijing’s support for Moscow’s program as it helms the group.
Putin reiterated that Russia backs China’s efforts to reconcile with the self-governing island of Taiwan. Moscow strictly follows the One-China policy, which supports Beijing’s claim of sovereignty over the island, the Russian leader added. -RT
