The Wide Angle: “Project Russia,” Unknown in the West, Reveals Putin’s Playbook

  1. US democracy is pretty low-quality, but many of us elsewhere quite like our forms of democracy, thanks.

    More equitable global sharing of resources would certainly take a lot of wind out of the sails of Project Russia. BRICS, for example, would be largely unnecessary. But that ball is mostly in the Global North’s court at the moment. Willingness to share and accept degrowth seems a fair alternative to the stupid status quo. But it’s also against the oligarch instinct.

  2. Democratic QAnon? It never ceases to amaze me how everything that Republicans have been accused of (and laughed at) blossoms the further the Democrats go. Two sides of the same coin.

  3. Surprise, there isn’t just a playbook made by American think tanks on how to shape the world, but also a Chinese one and now a Russian one

    And all of them are about how to end the world as we know it and rebuild it to fit their idea of an Ideal society, just with different people in control

    Project 2025 meets Project Russia meets the 100 years Marathon

  4. It’s one thing to publish a book, it’s quite another to execute the “plan”. And to do so as a “small irrelevant player with 3% of global GDP” against the Goliath of the 20th century.

    I read this as another example of propaganda. On the one hand Russia is “the second strongest army in Ukraine”, a “paper tiger”, and on the other it’s a lizard people governed, 5D chess playing, all powerful entity that can bring down the entire post-WW2 world order by means of subterfuge and fudging with elections.

    This is straight from the propaganda textbook, at different times argue that a country is at the same time weak and strong.

  5. A “Prince-Monk,” away from “material desire”? I’m not for outing gay people but could Putin be any more obvious about being in the closet? He wants to be alone, far from any women, surrounded by gilded institutions and strong, powerful men? Even the Eurovision isn’t that tacky.

  6. I’ve been bashing on about this for years. From the apartment bombings in Russia until now.
    The problem about propaganda, suppression of information, disinformation, misinformation, doxing, and misdirection, is that it WORKS.

    And if anyone is interested. It’s all out there. Plain as day. If you would only see..

  7. >Alexander Khinshtein, a State Duma representative and journalist, said: “I completely agree with the words given in the book about the dominance of the people of limited thinking in power. I don’t mind against monarchy, by the way we are living in the conditions not far from it”.

    It would be difficult to argue against that.
