The BBC Can't Stop Screaming about “Russian Aggression”

This article originally appeared at Counterpunch


“Russian aggression” is the BBC’s meme of the day. I lost count of how many times the phrase popped up in the first 15 minutes of Radio 4’s World at One programme, devoted entirely to the ‘Russian problem – but the theme was drummed in relentlessly.

The idea is that Russia presents a huge a growing threat to world peace and stability. Russian bombers are threatening the ‘English’ Channel (albeit strictly from international airspace). Russia is an expansionist power attacking sovereign nations, Ukraine in particular. And watch it – we’re next!

Commentators wheeled into the studio were unanimous in their views. NATO must stand up to the threat. Presient Vladimir Putin is a dangerous monster who refuses to abide by the rules of the international order. NATO countries must increase their defence spending to counter the Russian menace.

We saw the Sherlock series finale.
Lets say Moffet was up to his usual tricks, which are, always, too clever by half.
The series and show as always are saved by the brilliant cast and production.

Apparently Russia is the new go-to Goldstein for the lazy liberals.

It wasn't the Russians, although it's easy to make that mistake, because the true culprit was the East Wind.
