– US Russophobia approaching pathological transference (Voice of Russia, April 21, 2014):
The headline in the Boston Globe reads: “Obama focuses updated Cold War approach on Putin” and the New York Times article by one Peter Baker that follows is one of the one of the most acidic, fact-starved, sanctimonious, self-righteous, chest beating, Russophobic, war-propagandistic, Putin-envious, out-of-touch diatribes to come out of the western media in the current tidal wave of Gleichschaltung-like anti-Russian war-propaganda.
The attack is almost criminal in its eschewing of the truth and if you dear reader ever entertained the idea that Boston was a bastion of liberal truth and that the first black American president was some sort of Martin Luther King, you may now group Boston with the vilest redneck burgs in Alabama and the president to the right of the farthest right of the neo-conservative war profiteers.
Rarely does an article deserve to be taken apart at the seams but this one does as the outright lies and vitriol are so blatant that there is a danger if even a small portion of the masses believe even 10% of it.That danger is not to the world, or to us over here in Moscow (we are unfortunately used to these kinds of attacks from the Russophobic lunatic fringe), that danger is to the American public, who continue to have the wool pulled over their eyes by a president and a government that is ready to send them off to die and force countless generations to come into slavery to pay for their maniacal excesses.
Openly Reviving the Cold War
To begin with the headline and the first paragraph take no issue with the fact the Cold War is over. However it does serve to announce to the world that what even three months ago was a well kept secret and something denied by politicians and those in power in Washington, namely that the US/NATO were pursuing a continuation of the Cold War, is now official policy and neither Obama and his henchmen nor the US media establishment have the slightest reservation (due to their delusional architecture) in admitting to what is in fact the complete and utter failure that is forcing the US to cling to a desperate outdated recidivist strategy that it now hopes to apply to a democratic country.
Baker writes: “The crisis in Ukraine defies easy resolution and President Obama and his national security team are looking to forge a new long-term approach to Russia that applies an updated version of the Cold War strategy of containment.”
The outright idiocy of the first sentence (as if the US is actually looking for a resolution) denies the fact that it is the US that destabilized Ukraine in the first place and that they continue to support the illegitimate coup government and the neo-nazis who brought the junta to power.
“… updated version of the Cold War strategy of containment.”
We must recall that this strategy was supposed to be against the Soviet Union and in order to stop the spread of Communism. Yet like bringing nazis back to power in Europe, we can see that the US never learns history’s lessons and continues to pursue dangerous, confrontational, aggressive caveman policies on the international stage.
The US Pariah’s Psychotic Transference
Let read the next installment:
“Just as the United States resolved in the aftermath of World War II to counter the Soviet Union and its global ambitions, Obama is focused on isolating President Vladimir Putin’s Russia by cutting off its economic and political ties to the outside world, limiting its expansionist ambitions in its own neighborhood and effectively making it a pariah state.”
Clearly the pathological transference of those directing the writer and the manipulation in the above is aimed at painting Obama as some sort of great “war president” when in fact he is a cowardly puppet who gets pleasure from authorizing extra-judicial executions and destroying countries.
The pathological transference of applying outdated policies designed as tools against the Soviet Union to Russia and accusing Russia of having “expansionist ambitions” is stunning. Just the fact that Obama and the US think they have some right to meddle and dictate to Russia and Europe, what they can do in their own neighborhood is a sign of their own expansionist mindset.
The unbelievable arrogance, hypocrisy and self-serving historical revisionism is also stunning in the above as we know that it was the US that destabilized Ukraine, organized the armed takeover of a democratic European nation and brought nazis to power in Europe who are calling for killing Russians.
The truest pariah and rogue criminal state in the world is the United States of America. Guilty of multiple acts of aggressive war, continuing to maintain an illegal torture prison, continuing to execute its own citizens, executing people worldwide without trial or charge and overthrowing governments and killing leaders whenever the whim pleases them makes the US the most dangerous pariah nation in the history of mankind.
Now tell me. In what way is Russia a pariah nation?
Obama Stomps His Feet and Holds His Breath
The writer says Obama has “concluded he will never have a constructive relationship with Putin” no matter what. I dare say after the campaign by the US to ruin the Sochi Olympics, Obama running around the world trying to implement sanctions against Russia for the coup d’état he himself signed off on, the non-stop placing of NATO war elements closer and closer to Russia and the fiasco in Syria, I think it would be safe to say that it is President Putin, who has continuously tried to work with Obama, who should refuse to have anything to do with Nobel-Peace-Prize-fraud president.
Ignore the Master?
“Obama will try to minimize the disruption Putin can cause. .. ignore the master of the Kremlin.”
The disruption Putin might cause? What “disruption” is the writer talking about? Disrupting plans by Washington to violate further the sovereign state of Ukraine or NATO continuing to surround Russia and the People’s Republic of China or perhaps the extermination of Russians in Ukraine and the attempted destruction of the Slavic World or the invasion of the next country that Washington is planning to destroy?
And what is with the “master” thing? This is a new one. Is this another transference of endemic US racism and an attempt to conjugate and/or elicit slave/master images?
“That is the strategy we ought to be pursuing,” said Ivo H. Daalder, formerly Obama’s ambassador to NATO, “… it may solve your Russia problem.”
Your “Russia problem”? Perhaps Mr. Daalder has also lost it? Maybe he will enlighten us with a “final solution”? Unbelievable!
McFaul 2.0: Dangerous Russophobe
The article states that John F. Tefft, a Russia hater who served as US Ambassador to Ukraine, Georgia and Lithuania and promoted the invasion of South Ossetia while in Georgia, the current crisis and the resurgence of fascist forces in Ukraine and the rabid Russophobia and demonization of Russia in Lithuania, has been chosen to be the next US Ambassador to Russia. Tefft was extremely active and involved and one might say instrumental in bringing about the aforementioned anti-Russian events. As McFaul failed to organize the destabilization of Russia and the ouster of President Putin, apparently Obama is seeking more experiences hands.
Dangerous rhetoric
With regard to the assignment the article states: “… now there is no reluctance to offend the Kremlin.”
The US insists on isolating itself even further, for such a policy will backfire as Russian diplomats and leaders continue to stay open to dialogue and diplomacy. Again the arrogance is stunning.
An International Consensus: Coalition of the Willing 2.0
The US is becoming more and more hated every day. As Europeans and the world realize that Obama and his myopic, knuckle-dragging foreign policy elites vetted (like Obama himself) by senile-rabid-Russophobe Brezhinsky are only interested in resources and expanding their own caveman hegemony by force, the consensus against the US will grow thousand-fold. The writer tries to say China is against Russia, this is while China and Russia are discussing plans for tighter military cooperation against the ongoing provocation that is the placing of NATO war elements around both countries.
“The administration’s priority is to hold together an international consensus against Russia, including even China, its longtime supporter on the UN Security Council.”
The US is Broke
The writer revealed a little too much I think with the following statement:
“… economic advisers and White House aides urging a measured approach have won out, prevailing upon a cautious president to take one incremental step at a time out of fear of getting too far ahead of skittish Europeans and risking damage to still-fragile economies on both sides of the Atlantic.”
We know the US economy is about to collapse and we know that in contrast to the $15 billion Russia was ready to single-handedly hand Ukraine, the entire US/NATO/Eu could only come up with a $1 billion “loan”.
Money talks, as they say.
More Sanctions Blackmail: Outright Lies
“The White House has prepared another list of Russian figures and institutions to sanction in the next few days…”
The first round did not phase Russia and was laughed off. I doubt this round will be more successful. Washington might take heed: Your sanctions will backfire I can promise you that.
“… while Putin seems for now to be enjoying the glow of success, he will eventually discover how much economic harm he has brought on his country. Obama’s aides noted the fall of the Russian stock market and the ruble, capital flight from the country and increasing reluctance of foreign investors to expand dealings in Russia.”
Again Washington must be delusional, the Russian economy is going strong, the country is in the black and unlike almost all of Europe which is suffering from austerity measures, and the US with forced austerity where the public pay approximately 33% of their income in taxes and are enslaved to the military industrial complex for the next 1,000 years or more, Russia is growing stronger by the day.
Oops! Did I let the cat out of the bag? But then again, that is the real “Russia problem” isn’t it?

This is beyond stupid and is doomed to failure. Nobody will back the US in this insipid BS, not even it’s own people. Obama has no credibility, nor have our banks which are struggling with a collapsing currency as less of the world uses the dollar at all.
If Obama were doing anything to benefit the nation, or anyone but the greedy guts, he might have some traction. As it is, even the UK and Israel won’t back this stupidity. The US has no coalition, no supporters and the world has shunned the US as a rogue nation…..just as Germany was in 1940.
This is so stupid, so inane and so pointless as to be psychotic. Putin stopped his invasion of Syria, and now he wants to get back at him. Nobody…..and I mean NOBODY will support this.
Between the lack of any support and a collapsing currency that less of the world uses each day…….this is a tempest in a teapot, nothing more.
Just as I said last time, this goes nowhere.
I was really hoping the growing ‘awakening’ would prompt ‘dismissal’ of such crap by the less moronic.
To Squodgy: The morons will always be with us. The US is frozen in incompetence and corruption, and the world has abandoned it, moronic or otherwise.
Less than half the world accepts the dollar now, and at the rate we are going, it will continue it’s plunge to zero value thanks to the idiots in power.
The US is finished as a world power. Pity the only ones who don’t get it are the fools in power who cannot face the prospect the gravy train has slowed to a crawl. The money is gone, and people are finally asking for their money…….and that is a huge monkey wrench into the plans of the greedy guts.
Marilyn,
I think you better get up in the hills or over here before you do something you’ll regret. Keep your sense of humour. As my fishing buddy says, and thar t great bluesman Peter Green once lamented….if it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all!
Then there’s “as one door closes….another slams in your face’, or “I rang the Samaritans but they put the phone down on me”
There’s a funny side to all of this even if it is self deprecating ridicule at our collective stupidity.
After bringing mine & the missus’ kids up and having them moan about every little thing, I coined our new family motto….”Just effing get on with it”
Now I’m a grumpy old man & the missus says it to me….is that karma?
To Squodgy: Sounds sensible to me.
