How Russia is framing the war: Critical race theory, organ harvesting and Nazis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

“Americans are accustomed to walking on scorched earth,” Nikolai Patrushev, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most loyal and most powerful aides inside the Kremlin, said in a jarringly expansive interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta on Tuesday that touched on a variety of cultural and geopolitical grievances.

Using the kind of Soviet-era rhetoric that is more reminiscent of 1982 than 2022, Patrushev aimed his remarks not only at ordinary Russians but also, perhaps, to war dissenters in the West.

At other times, Patrushev seemed to borrow from the attacks conservative Americans use against what they perceive as excesses in public education. (Russian media regularly amplify the voices of Fox News host Tucker Carlson and other Biden administration critics seen as useful to the Kremlin’s purposes; Ria Novosti, the state news agency, ran a column this week praising Rod Dreher of the American Conservative for predicting that what he described as “transgender madness” would lead to “the collapse of Western civilization.”)

For his influence over the nation’s vast security and military apparatus, Patrushev has been called “the most dangerous man in Russia” by Kremlin analyst Mark Galeotti. He has pushed for an increasingly aggressive foreign policy ever since a KGB psychic was said to have revealed to him that the late U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had dreamed of conquering Russia for its natural resources.

3. Is "Western Civillization" so weak ...

that allowing people to inhabit the gender they choose really going to destroy it? It is a question along the lines of, "Is your all powerful god so weak that they are offended if not everyone prays to them?

First of all Western Civilization, please define what that is. Second, Russia, you aren't part of "Western Civilization". You have never been part of the club so, why are you even talking about? You WANT "Western Civilization" to collapse.

These people say what they do because they know that there are enough really stupid and ignorant people out there, that this will make hay somewhere.

4. Of course they would praise Rod Dreher.

Dreher just can't imagine a world without an imminent apocalypse. I hope someone at our three-letter agencies is watching the Putin regime's influence on American media, and more importantly, I hope they expose it. Some of these "thinkers" like Dreher are no doubt getting paid off in one way or another.
