| SVR dedicates a video to Americans for whom freedom is not an empty phrase |
| 2025-02-07 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. SVR is one of three Russian intelligence agencies; One of two for foreign intelligence. [Regnum] The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has published a video message to Americans, for whom love for their homeland and the ideals of freedom are not an empty phrase, reminding them of the two countries' joint fight against Nazism. “Against the backdrop of the US CIA’s clumsy attempts to recruit Russian citizens with the help of primitive video clips distributed on the Internet, depicting our country in the spirit of hackneyed Hollywood “cranberry movies,” the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service is publishing on its official website an appeal to Americans for whom love for their homeland and the ideals of freedom are not an empty phrase,” the agency’s press bureau said in a statement. It is noted that the destructive efforts of the CIA are futile, and the Russian and American peoples have not forgotten the glorious pages of the history of the joint fight against Nazism. The department expressed confidence that there are many true patriots in the United States who do not accept support from the corrupt political clique in Kyiv. “In our video message, we not only recall the past, but also offer options aimed at the future,” the SVR added. |

| #5 That’s the piece we must not forget: the totalitarian bureaucratic deep state, the March Through The Institutions, was literally a Communist plot that they started working in the 1930s, a century ago. Yes, tw. Joe Stalin gave communists a bad name so now they call themselves Democrats. Maybe you can lump RINOs and/or globalists in there too. Ironic, though, that they're the ones who want war with Russia. |

| #4 At the ultimate strategic level, consider the Kissinger 70's world view of a three-superpower world, and the tactic of changing the triangulation nexus. While the world if far more complex and there are fractures in the old coalitions, the core component still has significant validity. Only now it is the Russians who are the very junior partner, but are very vulnerable to persuasion to limp over to a more Western relationship, with emphasis on shared culture, religion, history, and ethnicity. Not alliance, but peaceful, commercial, co-existence with the West. The Sino-Soviet connection was always flawed and unnatural, driven by necessity, not preference, and now, it is infuriatingly insolent for Russians I suspect. This video may be the opening, soft gambit, and I think it will see it as such. |

| #3 “Dammit, the KGB plot almost succeeded, if it weren’t for those dumb DOGE kids? Quick, Yuri, send out a message congratulating America for winning against the people wittingly and unwittingly doing out bidding.” That’s the piece we must not forget: the totalitarian bureaucratic deep state, the March Through The Institutions, was literally a Communist plot that they started working in the 1930s, a century ago. So even if former KGB officer Vladimir Putin had turned away from that effort, it was petty clear from posts we watched here that someone over there is still trying to move it along. |

| #1 Does the tone of this article and video signal some kind of rapprochement between the USA and Russia? Smells like it, a whiff if nothing else. Also, I mistook the article about the SVR as one about SRV. |
