Why do Russian newsmedia falsify about the U.S. Government?
18 December 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
For example, on December 17th, Russia’s RT News (though it is generally far more trustworthy than U.S. newsmedia — especially the mainstream ones — are) published the sentence “Moscow has warned that it sees NATO’s expansion toward Russia’s borders as an existential threat and views the Ukraine conflict as a Western proxy war to contain Russia.” But the truth of the matter is that it’s not to “contain” Russia but to conquer Russia — and THAT is the reason why the U.S. Government wants to position a nuclear missile a mere 317 miles — or five minutes of missile-flying-time — away from annihilating Russia’s central command in The Kremlin. ONLY Ukraine is THAT close to The Kremlin. Decapitating Russia’s central command so that Russia will be vulnerable then to the U.S. Government’s destroying then all or most of Russia’s silo-based and many other retaliatory weapons, is the goal in America’s Ukrainian operation.
BY CONTRAST: Russia’s national security absolutely requires that Russia “contain” NATO at least to a distance of 2,000 miles away from Russia’s central command; and, so, whereas that word (“contain”) would have been appropriate for Russia to use referring to what Russia NEEDS America to do (not to position ANY weapon within 30 minutes-or-less distance from Russia’s central command), the word is INAPPROPRIATE for the context in which they published it.
That same counter-productive falsification can even be found in the speeches of Russia’s democratically elected (at least as much as Trump will be on January 20th after an ‘election’ between himself and Joe Biden who controlled the Democratic National Committee that blocked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from running against Biden) Russian President Vladimir Putin, who likewise falsely used this word “contain,” in the following passage in a December 16th speech:
We observe the current US administration and practically the entire collective West attempting to maintain their global dominance. They continue to impose their so-called rules on the international community, which they change time after time, juggling them as they see fit. Properly speaking, there is just one stable rule – no rules whatsoever for those who engage in this behaviour, for those who believe they are at the head of the world, for those who regard themselves as God’s vicars on earth, although they do not believe in God themselves.
At the same time, they conduct hybrid wars and implement containment policies against dissenting states, including Russia. In a bid to weaken our country and inflict a strategic defeat on us, the US continues to pump the actually illegitimate Kiev regime with weapons and money, as well as sending mercenaries and military advisors, thereby encouraging further escalation of the conflict.
Simultaneously, under the pretext of a non-existent Russian threat, they scare their population with allegations that we intend to attack someone. This is a very simple tactical ploy: they push us to a red line that we cannot help but cross; when we begin to respond, they frighten their population with the Soviet – in the olden times – and with the Russian threat today. Meanwhile, NATO countries are boosting their military spending and the alliance’s assault groupings are being formed near the Russian border. For example, the number of US servicemen in Europe has exceeded 100,000.
NATO’s ambitions have long surpassed its so-called historical responsibility zone. Apart from the so-called eastern flank, it is also building up its presence in the Asia-Pacific region. At America’s behest, new military-political alliances are being formed, which undermine the decades-old security architecture.
Equally concerning is the US activity in developing high-precision ground-based strike systems with a firing range of up to 5,500 km and preparing them for deployment in forward zones. Moreover, the transfer and deployment of these missile systems are already being prepared in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
Let me remind you that in the past, these measures were prohibited under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which ceased to be in effect at the initiative of the United States.
One very good item of evidence that this blitz-nuclear attack against Russia’s central command a mere 317 miles away is the PURPOSE of the U.S. Government’s Ukraine policy, is that when Finland was allowed into the NATO alliance in October 2022, the crucial requirement that the Government in Washington DC placed upon the Finnish Government was that it must allow the U.S. Government to place its nuclear weapons anywhere in Finland that it wants, even in Kotka, which is a mere 507 miles away from Russia’s central command. So, it’s clear that this is the U.S. Government’s intent.
Putin’s biggest failing isn’t his incompetency at PR, “Public Relations,” such as his ignoring that what the U.S. regime is trying to do isn’t mere “containment policies” but is instead full-fledged, “full-spectrum dominance” “conquest policies.”
Especially, as I headlined on 14 July 2024, “Why Russia will need to relocate its capital — perhaps to Novosibirsk.” Novosibirsk, Russia’s third-largest city, is more than 2,000 miles away from any country (such as Ukraine, Finland, etc., and Japan, and South Korea) that the U.S. Government controls. This would be the cheapest way for Russia to “contain” the U.S. empire (“The West”) so that the U.S. empire will finally be defeated, peacefully — WITHOUT ANY WW3.
If he would agree to do this (something that others before me have urged upon him but that he has thus far taken no action to implement), then he would be a truly great leader.
However, for some reason that I don’t know of, he hasn’t already announced his intention to do something like this. The result has been perhaps over a trillion dollars in added military spending in order to try to “contain” U.S. aggression.
I am offering this article to RT News to publish. I am challenging them to publish it.
PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
