NATO Weaponizes EU's Anti-Refugee Sentiment Against Russia
Russia Insider ^ | March 8, 2016 | Marko Marjanović

Posted on 03/08/2016 3:41:46 PM PST by marvel5

NATO military commander Philip Breedlove howled the other day that Russia is 'weaponizing' Syrian refugees. US senator John McCain said exactly the same thing at the Munich Security Conference a couple of weeks ago. Famous "philanthropist" George Soros said the same a month ago.

McCain, Breedlove and Soros claim that Russian combat operations in Syria are part of a wider plot to destabilize Europe by sewing divisions in the EU. Western media then uncritically picked up and transited these bizarre claims.

Tara McCormack over at Spiked has a great rebuke:

Kosovo has produced the third-highest number of refugees after Syria and Afghanistan, and given that it’s an EU protectorate and NATO bombed it to independence, who is doing the weapons there?

That's right. In fact it's not just Kosovo. Every single major refugee movement we're now seeing was facilitated by a prior NATO intervention.

Well, to be fair Spiked has a point: until Syria, Russia has only attacked Christian nations.

Russia hasn’t attacked anybody.

If you are alluding to Ukraine (site of the US/EU coup that overthrew the legitimate elected government):

No Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Ukraine’s own military chief of staff.

well, it was Obama (read that Soros puppet) and McCain that ‘destabalized’ (and is waging an illegal, undeclared war against) Syria on behalf of the Islamonazi ‘rebels’)

one can certainly be close to correct when saying that intelligent people (evil or not) usually intend the foreseeable consequences of their actions). So yes, the current destabilization (IslamoNazi invasion) of Europe (and USA) is part of the Obama and Company Big Plan

The middle-eastern exodus was well established long before Russia’s intervention in Syria.

That’s quite the list of sources you have, comrade.

As to the Ukrainian military chief of staff, Sputnik cites Ukrainian TV. But why bother with that? Here’s the YouTube of the general’s statement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNx2DvY3qaw

As to Russian Insider on German intelligence, here is the original article cited in Der Spiegel, the German establishment news magazine.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/germany-concerned-about-aggressive-nato-stance-on-ukraine-a-1022193.html

As to RT on French intelligence, the article links to a French general’s statement on the French National Assembly website. http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/14/cr-cdef/14-15/c1415049.asp

As to Fort Russ on former NATO general, the original source is German ZDF TV, and the video of the general’s remarks is embedded in the article.

As to Sputnik on OSCE, the original source is OSCE.

You won’t find any of these in the MSM, because they will not print anything that contradicts the approved USG/NATO narrative, so it is necessary to use alternative sources with documented links.

Correction, I will give Der Spiegel credit in this one instance of breaking ranks.

Russia-insider is a vile blog that among other things defends the Soviet lie about the mass murder of Poles in Katyn.

http://russia-insider.com/en/us-historian-stalin-not-guilty-major-war-crime-blamed-him-katyn/ri6305

It gleefully jumps to promote Stalinist Grover Furr (who is not a historian by the way) and his writings.

Russian logic is the only failure of an otherwise wonderful and rich culture. In order to reject the USG’s narrative, we must embrace the Kremlin one? From Russian state-owned media? Heck, that’s MSNBC on steroids.

RussiaToday is for those who believe Jews did 9/11
SputnikNews is for dumbos and closet commies
Russia-insider is for insane people who absolutely hate America and love Stalin

All funded and directed from Kremlin of course. Just different brands of disinformation for different groups.

You fail to note the editorial disclaimer to the article:

“We don’t know if this is valid or not, but we publish this here because this revisionist view is increasingly popular in Russia. Want to understand Russia? Here is what a lot of people think.”

I think it was a mistake in editorial judgment, nevertheless, to print the article. But that does not thereby discredit the whole panoply of articles by many different authors on various Russian-related subjects published in RI, including the facts and logic presented in the posted article.

Everything McCain says is a lie. Do people not now this by now?

The only logic lacking here is yours.

You refer to “Russian state-owned media.” But you don’t challenge the original sources I have cited or their import.

Let’s try it this way. If A and B take opposite points of view on issue C, and B presents evidence that expert supporters of A have made statements that undermine A’s position, why is that not logical and legitimate argument?

If the Chief of the Russian General Staff made a statement that his forces had indeed invaded Ukraine, that would be newsworthy wouldn’t it? Why isn’t it newsworthy that the Ukraine military chief of staff admits that Russia hasn’t done so, contradicting statements made by his own country’s President? Isn’t it significant that German and French intelligence contradict the USG position, as does a former top NATO general, and the Western-sponsored OSCE on the ground in Ukraine?

Surely you don’t argue that Russian media doesn’t have the right to cite Western sources simply because they support the Russian position rather than the USG position?
