I’ve never heard of him. He has just two books on Amazon and he has a master’s degree in Medicine (After a BA in History). So I’m not saying anything but I don’t know
NATO Issue.
Populists and fascists do not use the same language we use. Since they are superior to Truth itself when they say “NATO is at our border” it means: “The Imperialistic USA is going to deploy missiles in an area where we were in control in the past”.
It’s not a problem if the masses agree and/or truly understand this rhetoric. The only thing that matters is that enough people (in their own country) believe or pretend to believes this BS and keep repeating to one another that “NATO is at their border”.
Another similar phrase is “We won’t let LGBT destroy our family structure”. I’m not even going to elaborate you see the point.
On Propaganda:
Old school communist have this trait in common. When they asked Fidel Catro if there would ever be elections in Cuba when he defeated Batista in 1059 he replied “Para Que?” (For what?).
They believe that their ideology in based on the hard as concrete rules of dialectical materialism and that their way of doing things is the only logical way of doing things. So they had these elite or inner circle of the communist party who knew and understood what needed to be done. And they had this feeling of superiority toward the ignored masses who had to be taught and brought to understand the only possible reality.
So this is the legacy of the propaganda machine of Putin. That’s how they know to do things. And there is probably even more to it than what I know.
Still: Lenin had launched the red terror (for instance) because he believed in some utopian project that he thought could be realized somehow. So why is Putin Brain-…ing his people + the people of the world like any other vulgar dictator in any other part of the world?
