Why the Council on Foreign Relations Hates Putin

[Daning]

Занимательная статья на counterpunch.org про истоки нынешней волны злобствующей русофобии:

Vladimir Putin is arguably the most popular leader in Russian history, although you'd never know it by reading the western media. According to a recent survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal, Putin's personal approval rating in November 2007 was 85 per cent, making him the most popular head of state in the world today. Putin's popularity derives from many factors. He is personally clever and charismatic. He is fiercely nationalistic and has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of ordinary Russians and restore the country to its former greatness. He has raised over 20 million Russians out of grinding poverty, improved education, health care and the pension system, (partially) nationalized critical industries, lowered unemployment, increased manufacturing and exports, invigorated Russian markets, strengthened the ruble, raised the overall standard of living, reduced government corruption, jailed or exiled the venal oligarchs, and amassed capital reserves of $450 billion.
...
In the early years of his presidency, it was believed that Putin would comply with western demands and accept a subordinate role in the US-EU-Israel centric system. But that hasn't happened. Putin has stubbornly defended Russian independence and resisted integration into the prevailing system.
...
The most powerful of the Washington think tanks, the Council on Foreign Relations, recognized this problem early on and decided that US policy towards Russia had to be reworked entirely.
...
John Edwards and Jack Kemp were appointed to lead a CFR task force which concocted the pretext for an all-out assault on the Putin. This is where the idea that Putin is "rolling back democracy" began.
...
Kemp and Edwards provided the ideological foundation upon which the entire public relations campaign against Putin has been built. And it is quite an impressive campaign. A Google News search shows roughly 1,400 articles from the various news services on Putin. Virtually all of them contain exactly the same rhetoric, the same buzzwords, the same spurious claims, the same slanders. It is impossible to find even one article out of 1,400 that diverges the slightest bit from the talking points which originated at the Council on foreign Relations.
...
Putin's real crime is that he serves Russia's national interests rather than the interests of global Capital. He also rejects Washington's "unipolar" world model. As he said in Munich:

"We are seeing a greater and greater disdain for the basic principles of international law....We are witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force -- military force -- in international relations, force that is plunging the world into an abyss of permanent conflicts. I am convinced that we have reached that decisive moment when we must seriously think about the architecture of global security."

Well said, Vladimir.

Особенно "понравилось".

Мне тоже, только без кавычек.

А еще вот это:

That is why the Bush administration has encircled Russia with military bases, toppled neighboring regimes with its color-coded revolutions, (which were organized by US NGOs and intelligence services) intervened in Russian elections, and threatened to deploy an (allegedly defensive) nuclear weapons system in Eastern Europe. Russia is seen as a potential rival to US imperial ambitions and must be contained or subverted.

subverted - это как раз то, чем ливуся с профом тут занимаются.

На днях жители Москвы могли стать очевидцами довольно редкого зрелища: в светлое время суток прямо посреди оживленной трассы две автомобилистки устроили настоящие женские "бои без правил". Об этом сообщает портал Колеса.

Такой необычный инцидент произошел на юго-востоке столицы на перекрестке улиц Нижние Поля и Ловайской. Женщина, управляющая автомобилем Toyota, не захотела уступать дорогу ехавшей рядом машине Mercedes. Не на шутку рассерженная владелица немецкого авто остановилась, вышла из автомобиля и направилась в сторону второй машины. Хозяйка Toyota, в свою очередь, тоже вышла из своей иномарки. Между автомобилистками началась драка. В результате "победу" одержала водительница Mercedes: она избила свою обидчицу, после чего села обратно в машину и скрылась с места происшествия.

В настоящее время "победительницу" разыскивает милиция.
