How Brzezinski’s Chessboard Degenerated Into Brennan’s Russophobia<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRussia is an inalienable and organic part of Greater Europe and European civilization. Our citizens think of themselves as European. That\u2019s why Russia proposes moving towards the creation of a common economic space from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, a community referred to by Russian experts as \u2018the Union of Europe\u2019 which will strengthen Russia\u2019s potential in its economic pivot toward the \u2018New Asia.\u2019\u201d Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, February 2012<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The allegations of \u2018Russian meddling\u2019 only make sense if they\u2019re put into a broader geopolitical context. Once we realize that Washington is implementing an aggressive \u201ccontainment\u201d strategy to militarily encircle Russia and China in order to spread its tentacles across Central Asian, then we begin to understand that Russia is not the perpetrator of the hostilities and propaganda, but the victim. The Russia hacking allegations are part of a larger asymmetrical-information war that has been joined by the entire Washington political establishment. The objective is to methodically weaken an emerging rival while reinforcing US global hegemony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to imagine for a minute, that the hacking claims were not part of a sinister plan by Vladimir Putin \u201cto sow discord and division\u201d in the United States, but were conjured up to create an external threat that would justify an aggressive response from Washington. That\u2019s what Russiagate is really all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US policymakers and their allies in the military and Intelligence agencies, know that relations with Russia are bound to get increasingly confrontational, mainly because Washington is determined to pursue its ambitious \u201cpivot\u201d to Asia plan. This new regional strategy focuses on \u201cstrengthening bilateral security alliances, expanding trade and investment, and forging a broad-based military presence.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
