Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov gave an interview last Wednesday to three prominent American bloggers, namely Mario Nawfal, Larry C. Johnson and Judge Andrew Napolitano. The opportunity to hear Lavrov "state his case is extremely important," due to "very strong anti-Russian propaganda in the West," Mr. Alex Krainer, an author, market analyst, and researcher, remarks.
"This is brilliant news because the way they marched us into World War I and World War II was by controlling the narrative and telling us who the enemy is and what's going to happen to us if we don't go and kill that enemy," Krainer explains.
Krainer highlights the decline in trust toward mainstream media and the rise of alternative voices challenging established narratives.
He also highlights the broader geopolitical shifts, referencing US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks about the post-World War II order becoming obsolete and the rise of a multipolar world.
"He [Marco Rubio] also said that we have to accept that today we live in a multipolar world, that this is the reality we have to reckon with. This could not be any bigger. This is very significant," Krainer stresses.
The researcher also warns of the long-term consequences of Western control over Ukraine.
"If Ukraine remains there, aligned with the Western powers, and the British take control of Ukraine's ports, then you can count that those ports are going to see a large-scale flow of men, of terrorists, mercenaries, of narcotics, and of weaponry," he explains.
The analyst outlines that the West’s ultimate goal is to destabilize Russia to exploit its natural resources and potential cheap labor force.
With NATO’s expansion and broken treaties, is Russia’s response to the Ukraine crisis justified or an overreach? Whose hand is pulling the invisible strings of instability across the globe, and why?
