it will install a pro-Western government in Moscow
which could lead to the breakup of Russia.
This is the money comment:
If Washington wins this geopolitical Cold War, it will install a pro-Western government in Moscow which could lead to the breakup of Russia. Siberia, the Caucasus and the Far East will demand autonomy, and the country’s oil and gas resources will be transferred from the government to multinational corporations.
Would that it were a possibility. Maybe if we had another Reagan.
I think it’s written for Russian domestic consumption. It’s sad that some Russians probably believe it.
“However, it is possible that Russia can resist, thereby fulfilling its historical mission of foiling the designs of those who long for world domination. Just as Russia stopped Hitler in the 20th century, Napoleon in the 19th century and Frederick the Great in the 18th century, it will stop Washington in the 21st century. This is nothing personal, just business. Russia has its historical mission to fulfill.”
This article is well crafted with many layered messages. The one that stands out to me is Putin’s image of himself in the context of world history. All of the events quoted are major wars. He is projecting himself into the same roll as the leaders mentioned. He intends to escalate himself and Russia to this level of world domination.
