Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov apparently shows more concern for ordinary white Americans than the average Republican lawmaker. In April, Lavrov called out America’s aggressive anti-white racism. While insisting Russians were “the pioneers of the movement for equal rights of people of any skin color,” he stated Black Lives Matter pushes “aggression displayed against white people, white US citizens.”
Lavrov also mocked the political correctness of American culture. “Hollywood changes its rules now, too, so that everything reflects the diversity of modern society, which is likewise a form of censorship, which stifles art and imposes various artificial restrictions and demands,” he argued. I saw black people playing in Shakespeare’s comedies. I don’t know when we will have a white Othello. You see, that’s absurdity. Political correctness pushed to such absurdity won’t end well.” How many western politicians would dare question blacks playing white characters?
Lavrov’s purpose was to skewer the United Nations dedicating a day to acknowledging the horrible threat posed by “white supremacy.” The Russian diplomat said that the decision reflects the UN operating as the “the Organization Promoting American concepts, or American trends.”
This position contrasts sharply with that of our own diplomats. Joe Biden’s UN Ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, went before the international body twice this Spring to denounce white Americans and the Founding Fathers.
Four-hundred-and-two years ago, African slaves were forced onto the shores of the colony of Virginia. Two years ago, the 1619 Project brought attention to this anniversary, and put the consequences of slavery, and the contributions of Black Americans, back at the center of our history and of our national narrative. As the project detailed, slavery is the original sin of America. It’s weaved white supremacy and black inferiority into our founding documents and principles.
She repeated those remarks again a month later. American media outlets praised her comments as a “powerful” rebuttal against racism.
America is fond of calling out Russia’s alleged human rights abuses and disregard for democratic norms. Lavrov responded to these claims with a reminder of America’s own record, particularly its persecution of Trump supporters involved in the Capitol protests.
“We are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6 this year,” Lavrov said last week, stressing that Vladimir Putin will press Biden on this issue when the two meet this summer. “A lot of really interesting things are happening from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights,” the Russian diplomat added.
It is rich for America to attack other countries that suppress protesters and dissidents when our regime does the same thing. We attack China for denying bail to non-violent election protesters while we deny bail to non-violent election protesters here. We criticize Belarus for diverting a flight to arrest a dissident while we don’t even allow dissidents to fly here. We denounce Russia for firing government workers for their political beliefs while every corporation and institution does the same thing here. This isn’t the Land of the Free anymore.
It’s good that Russia is taking this line in favor of Trump supporters and conservative whites. China and Iran prefer to celebrate Black Lives Matter and condemn America as the Great Racist Satan. China usually botches its attempts at wokeness, but it still sticks to that line. China doesn’t care about anti-white racism or the persecution of Trump supporters. The Red Dragon tries to appeal to the Left, even though the ChiComs do a poor job of it. The Iranians appear to be better at this, and it’s probably impossible for them to ever appeal to ordinary American conservatives. Russia seems to be the only world power to make this play.
Back in the Obama and early Trump years, many right-wingers idolized Putin’s Russia. Too often, they fell for the media’s depiction of Russia. Western outlets shrieked that Putin was a white nationalist, a fascist, and a threat to democracy everywhere. Some right-wingers believed these claims and decided that made Putin based. They liked how Russia seemed to oppose western degeneracy and foreign interventions. Russia was one of the few countries to stand with Bashar al-Assad against the “moderate” jihadis backed by the West. Right-wingers also liked Putin’s swagger and his status as a serious statesman.
Some of these views were more accurate than others. It is true that Putin’s Russia serves as a counterweight to America’s Empire of Nothing on the world stage and stands up for worthy states like Assad’s Syria. Putin also pursues some sensible policies in his home country, such as banning homosexual propaganda to children. (Meanwhile, American children’s cartoons teach kids to march in gay pride parades with their two daddies.) Russia also doesn’t tolerate national hatred or guilt, for better and for worse, and cracks down on traitorous billionaires. Putin also is a serious statesman, an extinct species among our pathetic political elites.
But Putin’s Russia is also far away from the fantasy ethnostate or Orthodox kingdom of right-wing fantasies. It locks up nationalists for hate speech and other dubious charges. Its immigration policy still lets in many foreigners and the regime preaches a form of multiculturalism (albeit, one less insufferable than ours). Very few Russians go to church and the nation is plagued with all types of social ills, from addiction to widespread corruption.
Russia also threatens the sovereignty of many of its neighbors. This, of course, is not a major concern for American nationalists, but it does explain why Eastern European nationalists don’t like Putin. Ukrainians, Balts, and Poles all have memories of what life was like under the bootheel of Russia. It makes sense why they would oppose Russia and their stance does deserve a bit of understanding.
That does not mean we, as American nationalists, should see Russia as the great enemy. Nor does that mean we should fawn over Russia as the SUPER BASED AND REDPILLED EMPIRE. We simply need to recognize it as a necessary counterweight to America’s BLM imperialism. No other nation will denounce anti-white racism or confront Biden about the persecution of ordinary Trump supporters. It’s good for a world player to defend our people and force the American regime to answer for its anti-white racism. Every other foreign power prefers to denounce America for the same reasons leftists do here. Russia is the only one to speak for us.
We shouldn’t turn ourselves into unwitting tools for Russian designs or into some kind of pro-Kremlin fifth column. We merely need to acknowledge that Russian propaganda is more sympathetic to our side than ever before. RT and Sputnik read more like Breitbart, minus the boomerism and zealous Zionism. They seem to no longer care about appealing to the “anti-establishment Left.” In America, there is no more anti-establishment Left. Antifa is sympatico with the FBI and major corporations. Liberals and leftists both want a more authoritarian government that locks up their political enemies. They also hate Russia and want the state to spread our “democratic values” to every part of the globe. Russians may finally realize the Left is hopeless. It makes more sense for the Russians to side with the nationalist Right.
What this realignment will look like is anyone’s guess. But as long as Russia calls out the system’s anti-white racism and abuses, it’s good for us.

Perhaps Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov might agree with the brazen, insightful author, minister, and radio and television show host Jesse Lee Peterson (Black), his comment:
“You know, I started the white history month in July. This is our fourth year coming up where we’re celebrating white history,” Peterson said. “And what I’ve noticed that in America, a country that was founded by white people and created by white people, one of the greatest country on this side of heaven. And so white people — invited all these other — allowed all this other stuff to happen but you can celebrate everything but white history. We must remember white history, because if it wasn’t for that, there would be no America.”
But when it comes to white history they’re afraid to even mention white history. But we got to bring that back because that’s who made America great. We got to show our appreciation.”

He made his courageous comments on One America News Network.
Hopefully manipulated, silly White liberals and angry non-Whites don’t cancer culture him. The racist (against Whites and Palestinians) CNN might be afraid to go after him because he’s Black.
“But Putin’s Russia is also far away from the fantasy ethnostate or Orthodox kingdom of right-wing fantasies…”
This, after 2 paragraphs telling us it’s ALMOST all that?
Get realistic already. Putin is a nationalist, the USA is the assempbly-line and supply shed of the Globo-Homo Empire. Nobody is dumb enough to think either Russia or Putin is perfect. Protecting the home turf and being reasonably normal has become radical in the “West”.
Putin appeals to Americans because he’s sane and serious. No American in public life is even close. That’s it!
Putin and Lavrov are pointing out that changing narratives in Amerikan sheeple minds is a divertion from indices of US collapse.
During the Cold War when Russians all had jobs and homes, many in Europe and the US were starting to believe proper socialism (because Russia never became a communist state) was a better system.
This led to the state creation of left-wing terrorist groups carrying out benal terror attacks. Stories for the fake news.
The same thing is happening today with crisis actor terror attacks, devisive Brexit, Covid and the deep state manufacture of right wing extremism. Of course, there are always extremists, but the deep states gives them a hand.
90% of Amerikans would be better under an EU or Russian system. 70% of Brits would be better off. 70% is probably a bit low.
There’s a big fight going on for some very basic system mods that the neo-fascist West doesn’t want the sheeple to latch onto.
The world outside of Amerika and England doesn’t aspire to be dysfunctional bankrupt basketcase nations. Of course, the fake news would never examine the subject.
This is why we see the fake left & wokeness in the US and UK. Many writers and commentators on here say the US has gone commie and the Zionist Fascist Party of Bankrupt British is now the ‘peoples party.’
Biden and Boris don’t give a shit about the sheeple. Biden & Harris are deep state players, Boris is a 14yr old in a man’s body. Matt HanDcock is a lot of things, but Commings gets close.
The entire visual shabang is an illusion for the sheeple and yet, so many alternative news writers and commentors are taken in, chewed up and spat out. Hilarious.
The original Rus were Scandinavians and they can handle the cold weather, one of Russia’s main protectors. It is supposed to have defeated Napoleon and Hitler. Blacks are happy to jump around in more than half of the USA. It is too far south to stay civilised.
Russia well knows the evil of Jews, from Yagoda to Yeshov, and all between and around. Jews are using the very same playbook as that used in 1917 and before. The Jew takeover of Russia led to the deaths of about 66 million mostly Orthodox. From the murderers of the Romanov family to the Gulag camp commanders…..Jews. Satanic Jews.
@ Lewis Jones. One of the reasons Russia’s brutal cold weather defeated Napoleon and the Nazis was said to be their jackboots. The Russians wore boots with wooden heels and soles which insulated from the cold ground, while the uppers were fur-lined inside and large enough to wear extra socks. The jackboots of the Germans and French had leather soles and heels which soon got wet and sucked heat from the body, as did the leather uppers which were too tight to put on extra socks.
Another reason for Napoleon’s defeat was that before his march to Moscow he had won the Battle of Borodino (commemorated by Tchaikovsky with his 1812 Overture), but it was a pyrrhic victory. He lost too many horses to draw enough wagons for his army, and chose as more important his surviving horses draw wagons of powder, cannonball and shot and insufficient food and provisions for his troops. They lacked the necessities to endure the cold and so similarly to the Germans they were defeated by the cold but also their own logistics limitations. Added to that the guerilla tactics deployed by Prince Kutuzov as they retreated from Moscow (Napoleon had already fled), they were able to pick off the French.
You wonder why the Assange case has not been exploited because there is hardly any other case which highlights the hypocrisy and bullshit of the free speech mantra.
Here he is locked in a maximum security prison on a never ending sentence for whistleblowing….AND HIS COUNTRY AUSTRALIA DOES NOT LIFT A FINGER TO HELP HIM ESCAPE THE BRITISH GULAG.
The Guardian,the supposed protector of civil rights COOPERATED with the British secret police MI5 against the interests of Assange.
So the Assange case is ideal but it hardly gets a mention.
The British state is so gutless it does not dare deport Assange because of the blowback from the British public which is already seething with resentment over a number of issues….
The Zio-Clown Johnsteins policy on a number of contentious issues is to say and do NOTHING.
WHY NOT??.
Being an American ally is being under friendly fire, constantly.
I think more should be done to reveal which ‘white people’ were the ones that profited from slavery. Who owned the ships? Who ran the slave markets?
If these facts were made common knowledge the MSM would soon change its tune.
I wish I had the time to be a racist rather than exercising my White Supremacy by trying to keep my head above water while living as cheaply as I possibly can to make ends meet, each and every month. It would be nice to have the time and money to waste on such uselessness.
To Occams–there is always time for racism.
The US/UK Axis Of FAGZOG is circling the toilet-bowl.
Hip Hip.. Hooray!!!
@GEORGE: You’re not speaking of the current residents of Tel Aviv are you? Tut tut!
However, I will concede that the Pirates and Slave Traders did have names like Morgan and so on – along with suspiciously prominent (and hooked) noses.
But that’s all co-incidence I’m sure . . .
Aarrgh Matey!
I have more respect for the russian leadership
and their medias than of the USA lunatic asylum !
To MM-thanks for the extra detail. Russians probably know hundreds of tricks for surviving their winters that we do not know.
Plenty of jobs and the most beautiful women in the world that believe in a strong family unit and home.
Russia only has to give us citizenship, mail us a plane ticket and we are there. Or at least I will be.
