It documents the fake news, lies, violations of diplomatic standards and international law, and gratuitous aggressive actions taken against Russia during the period beginning May 18, 2016 and continuing through the issuance of the Mueller Report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Without explicitly saying so, the report shows that neither the US government nor the American media has a nanoparticle of integrity. Both are criminal organizations that are willing to risk war with Russia in their pursuit of narrow politicized agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This is important information for Americans and the rest of the world to have. Every person, every government and every private organization that supports Washington\u2019s Russiaphobic policies is contributing to the growing threat of nuclear war.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">One hopes also that the entirety of the Russian government, media, and population also read the report as it has equally powerful messages for Russia. The messages are no doubt unintended, but they nevertheless emerge from the embassy\u2019s report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Russian government should marvel at its naivete in trusting Washington, US institutions such as Citibank, and US adherence to international law. For 121 pages the report lists transgression against Russia followed by transgression and lie followed by lie; yet the Russian government continued to send diplomatic notes that are never answered, requests for meetings that are never answered, requests for evidence that are never answered. One would think that month after month of abuse would have caused the Russian government to wonder where was the intelligence, \u201ccooperative spirit,\u201d reason, and \u201ccommon interest in global security\u201d that Russia\u2019s responses to Washington assumed were present in Russia\u2019s \u201cpartner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Russian government\u2019s naive and gullible response to Washington played into Washington\u2019s hands. By responding to Washington\u2019s orchestrated Russiaphobia as if it were some kind of mistake based on bad information, the Russian government allowed Washington to keep the process of demonization alive and thereby contributed to the ongoing demonization of Russia. If, instead, the Russian government had denounced the demonization of Russia as Washington\u2019s act of preparing Americans for war with Russia and had taken a belligerent rather than a complaining stance, the realization that Washington\u2019s policy had serious cost would have spread throughout the US and Europe and voices would have arisen against Washington\u2019s dangerous and reckless policy. Today in place of the uniformity of voice against Russia, there would be dissent opposing Washington\u2019s irresponsible provocations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The danger of Russian self-delusion is not over. The embassy\u2019s report expresses the hope that now that the Mueller report has concluded that the much heralded collusion has no basis in fact, relations between Washington and Russia can be normalized and cooperation achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">There is no such possibility. The Democrats are screaming \u201ccoverup\u201d and demanding the resignation of attorney general Barr and Trump\u2019s impeachment. The presstitutes are claiming that the Mueller report vindicates their reporting. Trump continues to use US foreign policy to commit criminal acts. He has declared that the president of Venezuela is the person he picked, not the one Venezuelans elected. He has given to Israel part of Syria as if Syrian territory is his to give. He threatens Iran with war as Israel requires. In other words, American arrogance rises to ever higher heights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">At some point the Russian government and Russian people are going to have to accept the fact that to reach an understanding with Washington Russia must either surrender her sovereignty or become as belligerent as Washington and replace Russia\u2019s useless refutations of Washington\u2019s accusations with accusations of her own. Otherwise, Washington is going to keep pushing until war is the only possible outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/04\/22\/the-orchestration-of-russiaphobia-is-the-prelude-to-war\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every person, every government and every private organization that supports Washington\u2019s Russiaphobic policies is contributing to the growing threat of nuclear war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58,91],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs","category-russia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=187311"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":187346,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187311\/revisions\/187346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=187311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=187311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=187311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
