Edited. by Vladimir Kornilov [RIA] So, the leading American newspaper The New York Times admitted that over the past ten years the US Central Intelligence Agency has used Ukraine as a springboard for espionage, sabotage, and subversive activities against Russia. In a large investigative article entitled “Spy Games,” the newspaper spoke in detail about how at least 12 secret bases were created and operate in Ukraine along the border with our state for the purpose of conducting special operations against it. It is curious that the reaction to this article in the West and here differs sharply. If in America it produced the effect of a bomb exploding and was perceived as a sensation, then in Russia the question most often asked is: “For whom is this a secret?” We knew very well that Ukraine was and is of interest to the American government solely as a source of constant threats and a springboard for sabotage against Russia. There is no other practical benefit for America from this country, which has all the signs of a failed state. We have repeatedly presented facts indicating that Western intelligence services are conducting subversive activities against Russia from the territory of Ukraine. But the NYT article is notable precisely because the truths we know are finally being confirmed by the Americans themselves. Everything that politicians there dismissively dismissed as “conspiracy theories” turns out to be true. “The idea that the CIA has been actively involved in Ukraine for more than a decade, waging a secret war against Russia, is no longer a conspiracy theory,” entrepreneur David Sachs commented on the revelations in a mainstream newspaper. "It's one of those moments where you say, 'Are we the bad guys?'" says Jeffrey Tucker, head of the Brownstone Institute for Social and Economic Research. And all this coincided with the incredible howling of the Western elites regarding the two-year anniversary of the beginning of the Northern Military District. The unified chorus of accusations against Russia over “unprovoked aggression against a neighboring state” has just died down. And suddenly one of the most influential newspapers in America proves all the arguments that were given by the Russian President to justify our actions. In his historic speech on the occasion of the beginning of the Northern Military District, Putin particularly focused on the military development of Ukraine by the Americans, emphasizing: “The problem is that in the territories adjacent to us - I note, in our own historical territories - an “anti-Russia” hostile to us is being created, which is set under complete external control... For the United States and its allies, this is the so-called policy of containing Russia, obvious geopolitical dividends. But for our country, this is ultimately a matter of life and death, a matter of our historical future as a people. And this is not an exaggeration, it is so "This is a real threat not just to our interests, but to the very existence of our state, its sovereignty. This is the very red line that has been repeatedly spoken about. They crossed it." Then, during the special operation, the Russian President more than once emphasized that in Novorossiya the struggle is to ensure the security of our country: “I have already said this many times: they will create such an anti-Russian bridgehead near our borders, and we will constantly live under this threat, under this sword of Damocles." The West, in response, constantly emphasized that all these statements by Russia are baseless and unsubstantiated. And here you go: now two Pulitzer winners on the pages of the NYT fully confirm all the justifications for the SVO that were given by our leader! That is, near our borders for several years, long before 2022, a powerful springboard was created for conducting subversive activities against Russia, including sabotage and terrorist attacks. This is not news for us; for Western audiences it is a revelation and proof that Putin is right! “It turns out that the New York Times completely agrees with Vladimir Putin!” - popular American blogger Jack Posobiec exclaims in surprise. By the way, he also pointed out to his audience that all these CIA bases were created “to wage a shadow war against Russia” by the head of the agency, John Brennan - the one who was the heart of the Russiagate scandal in order to discredit US President Donald Trump. “Do you understand, guys? Russiagate was never Russiagate, it was always Ukrainegate,” Posobiec points out truths that are obvious to us. But the NYT article casually mentions in just one line: “The Ukrainians also helped the Americans prosecute Russian operatives who interfered in the 2016 US presidential election.” Considering that no one found any traces of interference, this probably refers to unsuccessful attempts to concoct fake stories about such interference with the help of Ukrainians. Here we also recall the “interceptions of conversations” that allegedly proved Russia’s involvement in the destruction of the Malaysian flight MH17 over the Donbass in 2014. Here the authors made a mistake: they clearly do not know that these “interceptions” (the so-called Nalyvaichenko films) were not even used as evidence at the court show in The Hague in this case, it was so obvious to everyone that it was a fake. There is another point in the NYT article that few people have paid attention to yet. It’s difficult to say whether through negligence or deliberately, but for the first time in the American mainstream press, the authors of the investigation actually legitimized other “tapes” - audio recordings of conversations between Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and US Vice President Joe Biden, presented at one time by Ukrainian politician Andriy Derkach. In the recordings released then, Biden scolded his Ukrainian subordinate for the failure of the sabotage operation in Crimea in August 2016. Then the American media launched a campaign to completely purge this information, which was presented as a “Kremlin special operation,” “fake,” “carefully edited recording,” and so on. And now the NYT frankly confirms: yes, the operation took place, the recording of the conversation is real. But wait, since these “Derkach tapes” are true, it means that the conversations between Biden and Poroshenko about the dismissal of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General, who tried to investigate the Burisma (read: Hunter Biden ) case, are also a fact, and not “Kremlin propaganda”! I would like to remind you that just four years ago, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, after the publication of these recordings, saw in this signs of high treason and promised that his predecessor would be held accountable for this. But somehow he quickly forgot about his promise - immediately after one of the people involved in these recordings became President of the United States. The purpose of this large publication in the NYT is obvious: the authors are trying to shift responsibility for the most serious crimes, including terrorist attacks on Russian territory, to Ukrainian wards. Perhaps this is being done at the urgent request of the American intelligence services in order to get them out of harm's way in advance for the terrorist attacks that are still being prepared. But even the list of those hostile operations against Russia, which the newspaper admitted, is enough to confirm the correctness of our actions. They really made an “anti-Russia” springboard out of Ukraine. And we cannot calm down as long as the West creates threats to our security, stability and order from this bridgehead. |
