The West’s century-long war against Russia — part two This is part two of a series of articles of mine on the West’s century-long war against Russia. In it, I intend to argue that the current NATO-Russia confrontation is simply the latest chapter in a long Western campaign to weaken, isolate and contain Russia. In part one (https://thomasfazi.com/p/the-wests-century-long-war-against), I looked at how this pattern extends back well before the Cold War: at how Western powers repeatedly sought to contain Russia throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, opposed the Bolshevik Revolution through intervention and sabotage, and later supported Germany (and even the Nazi regime in its early stages) as an anti-Soviet bulwark. In this second article, I look at how the Western “shift” against Hitler and alliance with the Soviet Union was not a moral awakening, but rather a case of strategic realignment, and how Western hostility towards Russia resumed almost immediately after the war’s end. I then turn my attention to the birth of the Cold War, and how the latter was rooted in the American refusal to demilitarise Europe or to de-escalate tensions with Moscow, as a means of keeping Europe locked in a militarised standoff with the Soviet Union to justify a permanent military presence on the continent and exert de facto control over the foreign policies of European countries through NATO. Finally, I look at the cultural dimensione of the Cold War, i.e., the fact that the Cold War was not primarily a struggle between “democracy” and “authoritarianism” but a long ideological and cultural counter-revolution by Western — especially American — elites against the existence of socialist states, whose abolition of private property threatened the foundations of capitalist power. The USSR’s rise, and later the expansion of socialism across Eurasia, challenged Western oligarchies both ideologically and geopolitically, prompting the United States to wage a vast cultural offensive to assert liberal-capitalist hegemony.
