Two Centuries Of Western Aggression Against Russia / USSR
rogerboyd.substack.com
The West has been at war with Russia/USSR since it defeated Napoleon’s invasion and became a great power in 1812. Immediately after WW2, Winston Churchill wanted to go to war and destroy the Soviet Union (he had very much backed Western intervention in the Russian Civil War in 1918). This is not about Putin it is about the existence of an independent and strong Russia; something that is not acceptable to the West and was nearly lost in the 1990s post-Soviet collapse period. During this period Russia was being turned into a vassal of the West, and the Western preference was to breakup Russia into even smaller parts. Putin is demonized because he has methodically rebuilt Russia’s independence and has allied with China and Iran against Western aggression. This is what happens to those that do not accept Western dominance, they are demonized to facilitate aggression against them. Putin was a friend of the US in the Western press until 2003 when he asserted the Russian state’s independence; just as Saddam Hussein (Iraq) was a friend when he invaded Iran and poison-gassed its people, just like the narco-trafficker Manuel Noriega (Panama) was a friend until he disobeyed orders, just like Rousseff (Brazil) was a friend until she wouldn’t allow further US takeovers of strategic Brazilian assets, just like the Chinese leaders were friends until it became obvious that they would not allow their nation to become just another exploited cheap-labour province of the West.
