How the US Media Has Conditioned Americans to Hate Russia (WIRN Webinar)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2024
- This webinar will draw on some material from the book, The Russians are Coming, Again: The First Cold War as Tragedy, the Second as Farce (New York: Monthly Review Press, 2018), by Jeremy Kuzmarov and John Marciano. The webinar will go back to the period of the Russian revolution and include more recent examples of media bias in covering the war in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin, and a discussion of the consequences of this bias. The webinar will address the forgotten history of US Russian cooperation during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln and FDR, and hope of the 1945 Elbe River meeting when US and Russian troops embraced at the end of World War II. (this is a history never covered in the media and rarely in history courses in high school or US colleges). The book is available here: www.amazon.com/Russians-Are-C...

I really appreciate your webinar, as a Russian American i pray many will watch. Peace to all.
Yes
I see not to many people seem to want peace at least until war effects them, I am sure not many would like to be stuck in Gaza with a family to try and protect
Russia wanted peace but also dosnt want Western missiles on its border controlled by Ukro Nazi
As a 🇧🇬Bulgarian, no Western Propaganda can make me hate Russia. Infact i love Russia more & more. Слава На Русия 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
You government doesn't feel or think that way. The only adults in Europe right now are in Hungary and Slovakia.
Pourquoi ?
In 2021 Zelensky signed a declaration to retake Donbas and Crimea by military force. Ukraine also took part in black sea nato exercises, sea landing operations (a purely offensive military action). At the Munich security conference Kamala Harris, standing with Zelensky in front of the world, reaffirmed that Ukraine would join nato and Zelensky stated his desire to acquire nuclear weapons. In the beginning of 2022 the osce reported a massive increase in shelling of the Donbas by Ukraine. All of this with Russian troops mounting in the border of Ukraine. What explains this? These are the best actions to take if you desire Russia to invade.
There are NO "dark aspects" of Putin's tenure as an elected and very popular President. He is NOT in any way a sociopath or narcissist. I've studied him closely for over ten years now, and can assure anyone of that. What he is, is the top official of a system which is different to the American one, and/ or what American thinks it should be.
It has a well defined vertical system of officialdom, and a concept that Russia is such a country, huge landmass of over 90 different ethnicities and many religions, that it takes a very strong man to rule it. Now, you Americans might not like that. Fine. It's not your country. Stick with the mess you have.
But what is in Russia very much suits Russians, and it is within those parameters that Putin rules. He has never had a person killed, or played dirty tricks. he has never been proven to have lied, or done anything reprehensible, and has always held that the power in Russia comes from the people. He is not an authoritarian, it's that the Russian political system gives huge power to the President. and no matter who holds that position, will also hold that power.
I like what you have to say, but as a student of Mr Putin myself, and of a certain age, I suggest rather than "that it takes a very strong man to rule it," I would use "to conduct its affairs." A conductor, rather than a ruler, for it is a symphony of many parts. As this nation has become so odious and mean, I'm entertaining the notion of moving there, certain otherwise rigorous exceptions are granted those of a certain age. Good day to you.
I am currently reading George Kennan's book on American-Soviet relations which begins with the end of WW1
Kennan overall was a huge admirer of the Russian people, he traveled the countryside extensively. He regretted sending what became known as "The Letter From Moscow," his State Department sitrep that he wrote in a fever, he was actually quite ill and his observations were taken as a scary warning by the political class, exacerbating feelings of ill will between the West and the USSR.
@@davidotness6199 also, I looked at wikipedia's Yakovlev article and was surprised to discover that Pierre Trudeau's 2nd son is named after Yakovlev. (Unlike his son, and to his credit, Pierre Trudeau attempted to assert an independent foreign policy, Canada's sovereignty being important to him.)
@@davidotness6199 YT deleted my direct reply to your comment presumably because I linked a webiste. I said: "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I cross-checked your remark by going to the n.s.a. archive.
Thank you for the presentation! Just 2yrs ago I believed all that was said in our media about Putin/Russia. Imagine my total shock&disbelief when I happened across a video of Russian citizens praising Putin! After seeing this, I was so confused and wanted to know the truth. I spent countless hours researching Russia, Ukraine, and this conflict. So much of that time was spent reverifying claims, context, and timeline as I was so incredibly adverse to believing anything that validated Russian claims or that showed Russia or Putin in a sympathetic or positive light. Also the claims of ‘Russian propaganda’ are so prevalent and deeply engrained that I felt I couldn’t trust anything. Often asking questions like, ‘is this video somehow staged or coerced?’ It’s actually terrifying how the truth is so twisted in our country by the gov and importantly the media. The irony is that Russia is actually terrible at propaganda and yet even today there’s claims being made that members of congress who oppose war funding have simply fallen under the Russian spell. Perhaps if Russia were better at getting their message out it could have some benefit for us all but our gov has taken action to prevent this. How much have we heard from any Russian ambassadors in our media? They are completely cut out of our information space.
Now learn the truth about 1930's Germany! Europa: The Last Battle.
La Russie est très populaire en dehors de l'Occident.
En France le conditionnement est le même. Nos dirigeants et nos journalistes s'amusent à nous faire peur et nous font imaginer les chars russes dans nos villes et nos campagnes. C'est débile mais il y a des esprits faibles sur lesquels cela marche.
Please also make some China videos. Suggest interviews with Professor Ken Hammond, Ben Norton (appeared on your show 2 yrs ago), Brian Berlectic (stations in Thailand, knowledgeable about Asia).
Then how come we LOVE Russia?
Visit their country and their cities.
Read and learn about their culture and history, make Russian friends, follow Russian vloggers and bloggers and just look at Russian women .
Hard to hate a country with some of the most stunning and beautiful women in the world.

Don’t read something sounding like you are reading it .Very hard to listen to. YOU have the floor. Tell us what YOU think. 😅don’t read what someone else wrote. I sat through years of someone droning-on; I have a colleague degree to prove it. Sorry but someone needs to tell you.
He was reading from his own book. And you with your "colleague degree" should perhaps not be casting unfounded stones of criticism.
