The Plot to Scapegoat Russia: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Russia By Daniel Kovalik PUBLIUS GUEST AUTHOR: Daniel Kovalik, is an adjunct professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh, and author of The Plot to Scapegoat Russia: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Russia. An in-depth look at the decades-long effort to escalate hostilities with Russia and what it portends for the future. Ambassador: Putin 'doesn't give sh*t about sanctions'... What created new, more aggressive Putin... BIDEN WARNS PUTIN Since 1945, the US has justified numerous wars, interventions, and military build-ups based on the pretext of the Russian Red Menace, even after the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991 and Russia stopped being Red. In fact, the two biggest post-war American conflicts, the Korean and Vietnam wars, were not, as has been frequently claimed, about stopping Soviet aggression or even influence, but about maintaining old colonial relationships. Similarly, many lesser interventions and conflicts, such as those in Latin America, were also based upon an alleged Soviet threat, which was greatly overblown or nonexistent. And now the specter of a Russian Menace has been raised again in the wake of Donald Trump’s election. The Plot to Scapegoat Russia examines the recent proliferation of stories, usually sourced from American state actors, blaming, and manipulating the threat of Russia, and the long history of which this episode is but the latest chapter. It will show readers two key things: (1) the ways in which the United States has needlessly provoked Russia, especially after the collapse of the USSR, thereby squandering hopes for peace and cooperation; and (2) how Americans have lost out from this missed opportunity, and from decades of conflicts based upon false premises. These revelations, amongst other, make The Plot to Scapegoat Russia one of the timeliest reads of our time.
