War Propaganda and the Demonization of Russians. Putin Spells it out for NATO/By Drago Bosnic

One of the political West’s favorite pastimes historically has been to portray Russia and Russian leaders in the worst possible light, with the obvious goal to demonize and dehumanize the Russian Federation and its people.

NATO’s Neo-Nazi puppets in Kiev even went a step further, launching a campaign to smear Russia as a “real-life Mordor” and the Russian people as “orcs”.

If such an unadulterated racist trope were ever used against any other nation, it would be met with universal outrage in the West.

However, because the “evil Russians” are targeted, it’s “perfectly fine”. Now, if the Kremlin is a “real-life Barad-dûr”, then that makes President Vladimir Putin “Sauron himself”. And indeed, he is by far the most demonized Russian in the West, often denigrated as an “autocratic madman” who wants to “conquer the world” or at least “control it”.

Anyone who has ever followed Putin’s work, his behavior, manners, way of speaking, etc, can only laugh at the idea of comparing him to the Satan-like antagonist from Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Namely, whether you like him or not, President Putin has demonstrated time and again that Russia’s interests are his top priority. Obviously, he’s no saint and has certainly made mistakes and miscalculations, the most glaring of which is his hope that the political West can be reasoned with.

However, he now fully understands that there are very few (if any) reasonable people to talk to in the West (especially in Europe). This is particularly obvious in the context of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict, with EU leaders openly bragging that any “peace initiative” was actually a ruse to buy time for the Kiev regime.

Naturally, all this made Russia and its leadership deeply suspicious of anything NATO leaders say or do. After over 35 years of false promises and deceit, Moscow has zero reasons to believe a single word uttered by any Western politician. The Eurasian giant’s strategic response in the form of the special military operation (SMO) uncovered just how deep-rooted Russophobia (and Russophrenia) is in the Western mindset. It also explains how and why Nazi Germany mercilessly slaughtered approximately 20 million Russian civilians and well over three million POWs (prisoners of war). Such a genocidal campaign is impossible without unimaginable hatred and dehumanization, the exact same one that the two Neo-Nazi Parties Svoboda and Right Sector which dominate the Kiev coaltion government demonstrates nowadays (as evidenced by the aforementioned “orcs” analogy).

Russia already defeated this unadulterated evil 80 years ago. Unfortunately, it came back in a zombified form, precisely thanks to the likes of the CIA and NATO, both of which preserved the remnants of the Nazi system and eventually incorporated it. Moscow is fully aware that the only way to fight it is the old one – with fire and steel. Nazism understands no other language. In the eyes of the Nazis, civilized manners and basic human decency are merely “foolish weaknesses”. Precisely this is one of President Putin’s principal “faults” when dealing with the Kiev regime and its NATO overlords. His hopes of finding reason in Brussels were based on nothing but illusions that he’s dealing with fellow human beings, when the harsh reality is that they see him as the “epitome of all evil”. However, this is coming to an end, as evidenced by President Putin’s latest statements.

Namely, he finally lashed out at the European Union, saying that if it decides to start a war with Russia, soon there will be “no one left to negotiate with”. Such a strong statement comes after several EU and NATO officials issued direct threats to the Kremlin. It should be noted that these come at a time when several Russian oil tankers have been attacked by “mysterious” drones in international waters off the coasts of several European countries. The leaders in Brussels not only failed to condemn these attacks, but effectively threatened to escalate them, which is a clear indicator that they’re either supporting them or, worse, directing them. Obviously, Russia is sick and tired of this. Namely, sanctions (that don’t really work, as we can clearly see) are one thing, while direct attacks on Russian civilian shipping are effectively a declaration of war.

“Russia has no intention of going to war with European countries, but if Europe wants war, Russia is ready right now,” President Putin warned.

If this were uttered by US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron or any of the impotent EU bureaucrats, it could surely be dismissed as “acting tough”. However, when an extremely patient, reserved and cool-headed leader such as Putin (who is very careful with his words) says something like this, it’s a whole other matter. Moscow’s unrivaled patience is only eclipsed by its power to wipe out entire continents off the map in minutes. When a country with such destructive potential is pushed to the point where it might need to use it to survive, the entire world is in serious trouble (to put it mildly). Perhaps the most chilling warning by President Putin was that NATO is not Ukraine, where Russia fights in a “surgical, careful way”, as he pointed out. In other words, it would be “gloves off” for the deadliest armed force on the planet.
