Russia must be destroyed with the “Syrian recipe” – according to the West

The Western media does not report that the Russian FSZB was able to prevent several attacks on places of worship. These were planned against both Christian and Muslim institutions. Why don’t they report on this, even though the media is generally happy about anything that could harm Russia?

“If a state is hit by violent terrorist attacks, it can only respond with counter-violence.” If a state is on the Western list, it is immediately condemned as a terrorist state. They do not take into account who started the violence. This was the situation in Syria. Every state that is ethnically, economically, culturally, and religiously diverse is latent instable. As history has shown, it takes little effort to introduce discord. If then weapons are delivered to one or both rival sides, civil war is almost unavoidable. The affected state can only respond with counter-violence and oppression, and it is almost impossible to break the vicious cycle. Just think of Yugoslavia or how the British Empire destabilized the Ottoman Empire. The principle of “divide and conquer” is used within states to destroy a state.

Russia, the Russian Federation, is not only the largest country in terms of territory but also home to the greatest diversity of ethnic groups and religions. There, they live in peace with each other, which is hardly seen elsewhere. As it was in Syria before the CIA brought discord there. Why not apply what has often worked in Russia too? The western media does not report on what has become increasingly apparent in Russia, the Russian Federation (RF), as if it had emerged out of nowhere. Namely, the (foiled) terrorist attacks on holy places. No, they cannot report on this, because if these force the RF into severe countermeasures, the West will ignore the lead-in, as in the case of Russian special operations in new republics. The RF will be classified as a “terrorist state.”

“After unsuccessful sanctions, now comes terror?” The sanction orgies against the Russian Federation have had the opposite effect of what was intended. Russia’s economy is flourishing, and the people are behind President Putin. The war in eastern Ukraine is coming to an end, and Russia will be stronger than ever. This, of course, displeases the West. That’s why it does what it has always done. It tries to destabilize the country with terrorist attacks because sanctions and embargoes have long been ineffective. It is simply ridiculous that sanctions only target individuals for years. Like a fig leaf for its own incompetence. Just as the Kiev regime has been shooting and killing civilians for ten years. Kiev cannot do more, not even with Western help. It is only thanks to President Putin’s patience, wisdom, and restraint that Kiev has not faced direct attacks, and, for example, the Ministry of Defense in the city center is still intact. The Russian Federation is not waging war against its fraternal nation but only against the gamblers in power and ultimately against NATO.

The Soviet Union did not leave the Russian population and its many ethnic groups untouched for 70 years. Nor did the wars that Russia had to fight. The “Homo Sovieticus” was formed, with different basic relationships to money, for example. Apart from the usual number of psychopaths causing trouble worldwide. In the Soviet era, religions secretly led shadowy lives, and thus every person who did not want to give up their faith connected in an almost conspiratorial manner. This bond included all religions. It is therefore not surprising that now that religious practice is again allowed, there are no conflicts between religions. This is exemplary and does not correspond to what the West wants, as it makes it more difficult to incite discord among believers. So what can the West do to break the unity of the RF?

“Revenge for destroyed places of worship.” An attack on a house of worship can even enrage the mildest and trigger a desire for revenge. Just remember Salman Rushdie and what “The Satanic Verses” provoked. After all attempts to destroy the RF with uprisings failed, the Russophobes now resort to the most despicable and filthiest methods. Namely, inciting religions against each other. We know from history how easy it is to start wars with a religious motive. Look at Syria or Iraq. Was there ever a war in which both sides did not claim some god or religion for themselves? However, deliberately creating this situation is the epitome of the most despicable. But everything is allowed against Russia. Even if this time it is only about power and raw materials.

I think it is appropriate to remember Evo Morales. When asked why there has never been a coup in the USA, he replied: Because there is no US embassy in the USA. But let’s look at what the Financial Times writes about the RF. It becomes clear why the values-based West is so desperate because it simply cannot successfully destabilize Russia. Here are some excerpts from the Financial Times on the Russian consumer boom, which the publication calls “astonishing”:

“A 28% pay rise will force the civilian industry to keep pace.” Without this, it is impossible to attract workers in times of acute labor shortage. As a result, Russia suddenly found itself in the middle of a consumer boom.

“Real wages rise rapidly… ‘There are people who before the escalation of the conflict earned almost nothing… who suddenly had a lot of money’ – says Janis Kluge, an expert on the Russian economy at the German International Cooperation and Security Institute.”

According to Rosstat, real wages have increased by almost 14%, and the consumption of goods and services has increased by about 25%.

The Russian macroeconomic analysis and short-term forecasting center predicts that real wages will continue to rise by 3.5% this year, while available real income will increase by 3%.

“The unemployment rate, which was 7-8% in 2022, is now at a record low of 2.6% after the Soviet era.”

This explosive wage increase is felt throughout the socio-economic spectrum and dramatically changes the lives of most of the working population.

“Seamstresses who earned $250-300 a month in rubles in December 2021 can now receive $1400 a month,” said political scientist Ekaterina Kurbangaleeva.

The average salary of truck drivers increased by 38% compared to last year. A courier can also earn 200,000 rubles a month (over 2000 euros).

However, Western sanctions and Russian capital controls have led the assets of wealthy citizens to be “landed” in the country. This has contributed to the growth of the luxury sector and has given Moscow and St. Petersburg the atmosphere of modern boomtowns.

“In the upper middle class, everyone just enjoys the good life,” says Sergei Iskov, a Moscow investor and entrepreneur, pointing to the new restaurants and the booming e-commerce market.

A Russian businessman told FT: “Almost everyone I know who left Russia after February 2022 and either returned or traveled there says that Moscow is the best city in the world.”

Many Russians feel that their financial situation is improving. More than 13% rate it as “good” – the highest value since 1999, according to Rosstat.

The number of those rating their financial situation as “bad” or “very bad” is at a record low – about 14% and 1%, respectively.

“People are getting high salaries. What are the Russians doing? They are consuming madly, and this consumption creates domestic demand,” says Alexandra Prokopenko of the Carnegie Moscow Center.

Retailers and the consumer sector are responding quickly. Rostix, the Russian successor to KFC, plans to open 100 new branches this year, and takeaway coffee consumption has never been higher than it is now.

Domestic tourism is also on the rise. An employee of a Russian travel booking company notes that due to sanctions, demand for domestic flights has sharply increased despite the rise in ticket prices. “For the first time, intra-Russia flying has become profitable for airlines,” the source said.

“The outflow of capital from Russia has slowed down.”

“In the upper segment, everything is clear: people have a lot of money, nowhere to spend it, so they spend it experimenting.”

“If they used to take out money, open accounts, and buy an apartment in Montenegro before, now this money is in the country,” says Anton, a restaurateur in St. Petersburg.

“The surge in consumer spending in the RF is a completely different result than economists expected at the beginning of the war.”

In conclusion

These are conditions that we in Germany can only dream of. In the light of this analysis by the Financial Times, can anyone be surprised that President Putin receives about 80% support among voters? Why are they now playing their last card, namely inciting religious turmoil? Yes, the mainstream media does not report on this. But they do report that Russia has passed a law requiring non-governmental organizations to report if they are financed more than 20% from abroad. Just as there has been a similar law in the USA since the 1930s. Hopefully, this law will prevent more psychopaths from being recruited with money and propaganda for such attacks on holy places. Oh yes, the Ukrainian saboteurs surely have their role in this, because they all speak Russian and have enough money from the West.

Note: Most of the churches were destroyed by England and the USA through bombing attacks on German cities. In Yugoslavia, churches and mosques were also targeted.
