President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin will speak on Thursday, in preparation for the January 10 talks, was convened to address Putin’s request for “security guarantees” aimed at thwarting NATO’s ability to carry out its functions. in Europe. Moscow’s elite diplomats and brilliant heads of state are openly discussing Russia’s goals and strategies. Arguing for the total surrender of the US, with the Kremlin allegedly planning to make no concessions or guarantees, Russian experts propose a plan to produce such an acceptable outcome. to the American public by conducting an active international information campaign.
Russia’s state-television propagandists express their delight that there seem to be people like Tucker Carlson in their corner, praise His coverage serves as a prime example of successful Russian influence operations abroad. Carlson’s arguments often resemble those promoted by Kremlin propagandists — or by Putin himself.
In one of the broadcasts on Fox News in December, Tucker Carlson argued that “NATO exists primarily to torment Vladimir Putin.” He worried about the possibility of “NATO taking over Ukraine” and described the 2014 Maidan Revolution as a “coup in Ukraine” organized by the US. He also baselessly accused Joe Biden of inciting “a heated war with Russia”. The very next day, translated quotes from Tucker Carlson’s program were widely available Broadcast on Russian state television. After seeing Carlson’s comments during the live recording of 60 minutes, Igor Korotchenko, member of the Council of Public Affairs of the Ministry of Defense of Russia and Editor-in-Chief of Defense magazine speak: “Excellent performance where we can only show solidarity.”
Carlson claims that America is driving the world impending nuclear war with Russia fits perfectly into the Kremlin’s current propaganda offensive. During Tuesday’s live broadcast of Evening with Vladimir Soloviev, host Vladimir Soloviev expressed concern about convincing Americans that the fear of war is real: “Americans only change their behavior when there is an existential threat to their population… Sign Their memory of World War I is much greater than that of World War II, because of the numbers of those killed and the difficulty of that war. We often think of Americans as a mirror image of ourselves and our concerns. They are just like us. Their mentality is completely, completely different.”
Political scientist and Professor of Communication Dmitry Evstafiev articulates scare tactics aimed at persuading everyday Americans to surrender to American interests in order to avoid war with Russia. He speak: “Just look at how much they [the U.S.] recently started talking about peace. There’s only one way to balance that. We need to start talking about war with American and European societies. American and Western societies do not understand what war with Russia would mean. They think a war is going to happen somewhere far away, but we should explain that it will be near. A very comfortable fight where a drone flies over and kills someone, but nope, a bomber will come and kill you… A casket covered with a striped star flag will come.. an American city. In this context, we should start a very serious conversation with Western societies — not about peace, but about war.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov is set to represent Russia in negotiations regarding the so-called “security guarantees” sought by Moscow. His comments before the meeting provided a clear view of the Kremlin’s belligerent attitude.
Sit down with a reporter on Tuesday, Ryabkov threatened USA: “The chasm between what is desirable and necessary for the Western collective – as opposed to what we need – continues to deepen and widen. A bridge can be built on the foundation we have proposed. If that bridge wasn’t built, fortress walls would have been built instead, with cannonballs shooting down from them and hot asphalt pouring over their heads. Those who say Russia should be cornered, like a shrewd schoolboy, underestimate what might happen next. They have lost their grip on reality and common sense. I hope they don’t lose their sense of self-preservation.”
Like Ryabkov, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov mocked the possibility of Russia being hit by additional Western sanctions. In his appearance on Monday Broadcast in the online program of Vladimir Soloviev Soloviev LiveLavrov rejected the idea that Russia could be cut off from the world’s banking system or isolated. He also pointed out that senior members of the Russian military will participate in the upcoming January talks with the United States: “The military will be represented at a high level in our delegation. We asked [the U.S.] to confirm whether we are correct by our understanding that the same will be done on their part. Foreign Minister Lavrov added that Russia does not plan to make any concessions, claiming that it has given up too much over the past decades.
Storage 60 minutes on Wednesday, Evgeny Popov amazing: “It seems to me that our diplomats have never spoken to the United States so harshly.” Andrei Bezrukov, a Russian spy whose life story inspired the hit TV show American, replied: “The balance of power has changed. Twenty years ago we couldn’t talk to them this way… Now we can show them something and they understand it. The new balance of power — including military might — is what brought them to the negotiating table.” Vitaly Tretyakov, dean of the Moscow State University School of Television, agrees: “Nothing in the history of the world has ever happened without military force … The pacifists are undecided. Our State Department is hugely revered because twenty years on, it’s now hard for Americans and other Westerners to understand that it’s no longer civilian. Its former friendly demeanor has fallen into oblivion.”
Moscow’s approach to the upcoming exchange is clearly based on a perception of invincibility and the idea of Russia’s “military superiority”. Unyielding, the Kremlin hopes to wrest them from the United States by evoking the threat of World War II like Damocles’ sword hanging over the world’s head. Moscow’s elite propagandists are working hard, attracting audiences at home and abroad.
Appearing on state TV show 60 minutes On Tuesday, military expert Igor Korotchenko predicted: “January is becoming an important month that will determine the course of modern human history… These three summits will decide what happens. next. Whether we will move directly into World War II … or red lines will be acknowledged and we will strengthen the status quo, where the interests of Moscow and NATO will be balanced. The main thing is, Russia will not withdraw anymore.”
The stream of requests was accompanied by constant nuclear threats emanating from Moscow. During last Friday’s broadcast of 60 minutes, Deputy State Duma Mikhail Delyagin assertive: “Nuclear mushrooms may grow over Ukraine, but not the NATO flag.”
