The Russian army is too tough for the West. The bet is placed on ideological decomposition
Realizing the military power of Moscow, the geopolitical opponents of the Russian Federation are trying to brainwash the Russian population.
Military observer Viktor Baranets writes about this in Komsomolskaya Pravda, as reported by PolitNavigator correspondent.
He draws attention to the recent statement by Andrei Ilnitsky, adviser to the Russian Minister of Defense, who said that the West, led by the United States, began a new type of war against Russia - “mental.”
“Mentality is a spirit, a mindset, or “a set of mental, emotional, cultural characteristics inherent in a people.” It is this entire aggregate that the West is trying to influence, turning on its gigantic propaganda machine to the fullest. This machine stubbornly strives to instill the idea that Russia is evil and a threat to the whole world, that it is an occupier country, rotten from corruption, that the rights of entire nations are violated here, and that the president is generally a “murderer.” This is how the mentality of our state is formed. Just like in the days of Reagan, who called the USSR an “evil empire,” notes Baranets.
According to him, the West is waging a “mental war” in Russia itself.
“In other words, if the enemy is not able to defeat us with armed force, he takes up ideological weapons in order to brainwash his enemy to the required condition. And the fact that the enemy is Russia is already openly stated at the highest level in NATO, the USA and the EU. And how can we not remember that the destruction of the Soviet Union began precisely with this. Have Russia drawn any conclusions from those tragic lessons? After all, even a country with a very powerful army can suffer defeat if its citizens are ideologically corrupted by their enemies,” the observer warns.
