This article is part of a series on Western meddling to foment unrest and destabilize BRICS nations in an effort to ensure the continuation of
Western economic and political control over the Global South. The first two parts, focusing on Brazil and South Africa, can be found
here and
here. Up next: Part II on
the assault on Russia, which focuses on the political, psychological and military aspects that run in tandem with the economic war on Moscow.The
U.S.-NATO Empire, with its centers of power in Washington, on Wall Street, and in the city of London, is on the offensive against the BRICS countries. This assault takes many forms,
each tailored to its specific target.The ongoing soft coup in Brazil has recently entered a new stage with the
impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff of the left-wing Workers' Party. Simultaneously, the
destabilization of the ANC-led government in South Africa continues as political forces align
to remove President Jacob Zuma. These two situations illustrate clearly the very
potent forms of subversion via Western-funded political formations and movements being employed against Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, the bloc of emerging economies also known as BRICS.
However, when it comes to a country as large as Russia, with its vast military capabilities, consolidated and wildly popular political leadership, and growing antagonism toward the West, the tools available to the Empire to undermine and destabilize are in some ways more limited. Indeed, in the context of Russia, the popular mobilization pretext does not apply, and so that weapon in the imperial arsenal is blunted considerably. But there are other, equally potent (and equally dangerous) methods to achieve the desired effect.
Russia is the target of a multi-faceted, asymmetric campaign of destabilization that has employed economic, political, and psychological forms of warfare, each of which has been specifically designed to inflict maximum damage on the Kremlin. While the results of this multi-pronged assault have been mixed, and their ultimate effect being the subject of much debate,
Moscow is, without a doubt, ground zero in a global assault against the BRICS nations.
Comment: Considering the complete lack of evidence or even details about the incidents and the fact that the Russian military has shown itself to operate in a very tactful, decent, and organized fashion, these claims appear to be extremely unlikely. So what's Israel really up to?
