MOSCOW – Russia seems awful these days for Americans, who often hear of election interference and poisoning in other bad deeds. But consider the other side of the divide for a moment, or at least consider the scenario presented to the Russians by their television sets.
The prospect of a third world war has become a regular topic on Russian state propaganda shows. Late night after night, Vladimir Soloviv, often described as the Kremlin’s top propagandist, and his guests condemn the West’s strategy of imposing sanctions on “economic suffocation” and suggest war is the logical consequence.
The conclusion reached by Soloviv and his guests is that the country’s politicians and business titans should sever all ties with the West, including communicating with their relatives. The long history of complaints went out; Soloviv says the conflict between Russia and the West began in the 13thM Century: “They believe we are uncivilized and they are civilized, so they have the right to point out how we should live and behave.”
The show, which airs on State Channel 1 at night, heats up quickly. This week, pro-Kremlin political analyst Sergei Kurginya, close to the intelligence services, accused Russia of tearing apart the West in the fifth column in the Far East, where thousands of Russians have been marching in anti-Putin rallies for two months. . Putin’s nemesis Alexi was promoting anti-Rlio in the east of the novel when he was poisoned with a lethal nerve agent.
Kurginya continues to criticize the Russian class for pursuing its passive dreams of becoming part of European society: But in the current situation they have to break these connections. It will be very painful but you have to do it, ”he said.
A popular newspaper Komosolskaya Pravda On Friday, it was announced in plain language: “The world is at risk of a third world war over the Russian COVID-19 vaccine.”
The letter claims that the European Union and the US are angry that Russia is selling millions of doses of its vaccines to Brazil and Africa.
Russian nationalist publication Tsragrad The search on Friday claimed a military victory. “NATO exercises fail: Russian ships will frighten Americans and Ukrainians.”
What is the cause of this last storm of anti-Western state propaganda?
This week, the U.A. Known as “Putin Shuff”, Yevgeny imposed new trade sanctions on Prigozin and his companies, some of which included Wagner mercenaries and the U.S. Elections are linked to interference. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also suggested this week that the order to poison Navalny came from senior Russian officials, increasing pressure on Putin to impose even more sanctions to explain Navalny’s poison face to face. Both the European Union and Britain are preparing sanctions against Putin’s ally in Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, following violent protests over opposition and violent elections.
The old technique of “conflict of culture” between East and West is being revived in the state media. It is this intelligence that is at the center of the West’s issues with Russia, the propaganda broadcasts insist.
If the West continues to punish Vladimir Putin’s allies with economic sanctions and obstruct the Russian movement around the world, he says, Moscow will bring a new strategy that does not include the West. “We have not sent troops to Ukraine, Kiev for the sake of relations with Europe; “Through the new strategy, we will deploy troops and certainly our allies in Turkey and China will respect us for such a strong decision,” Kremlin-affiliated political analyst Sergei Markov told the Daily Beast.
In the propaganda, Putin and his allies have been shown moving away from the curls, in order to isolate and defend themselves, like a besieged fortress.
Russia’s ability to respond with sanctions is limited. A few weeks ago, U.S. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadairov imposed sanctions against Pompeo after his family members were approved by the state department. This was seen as a bit more of a joke as Pompeo had no assets or bank accounts in Chimney. Still, the story made Russian-speaking news. One of the more popular political talk shows hosted by Olga Skabe Beyeva 60 minutes, Praised Kadyrov’s “cool” sanctions.
Germany and France are demanding an investigation from the Kremlin into the poisoning of Navalny last month by Novikok, a Soviet-era chemical weapon. But two decades of Russia’s modern history show how strongly Putin resists any demands imposed by the West. Instead, they are advancing the preaching work. “They say, ‘Oh, you want to break us up once again, here’s your answer – and Putin has come out with a speech about the most powerful hypersonic weapon,'” Pavel Lubbakov, a critic on the independent Ren TV, told the Daily Beast.
Last week, on Russia’s Gunsmith Day – an obscure holiday that is generally ignored – Putin went on television to discuss Russia’s latest nuclear weapons. They can reach anywhere in the world, he said. Ang Vanguard hypersonic glide vehicles could clear the area of Texas or France, spectators were told. Putin blamed the United States for withdrawing from the anti-ballistic-missile treaty in 2002. “We were to build these weapons in response to the deployment of the US strategic missile defense system, which will be able to actually deactivate in the future, weakening our full nuclear potential,” Putin said.
On Friday, Putin called on the White House to fight “information warfare,” which is ridiculous because Western intelligence agencies say the Kremlin is already targeting the 2020 presidential election. However, Markov explains that Moscow expects a rhetorical fire during the American election season: “Russian intelligence has informed Vladimir Putin of a rough attack on him personally earlier this year.” “It could happen during the U.S. election, the conflict could enter a hot phase, so it’s time to buy ready-made food.”
