First off, I'm not Jewish. I'm an American who is of Polish and Italian ancestry and practices Catholicism.Cool Breeze wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 2:06 pmI don't think you understand my position at all, since how you characterize whatever you are saying is not anything I have ever said. You and I both know why the "West" hates Russia. China is communist so they are a whole other ballgame and rightly deserve major criticism at least - certainly anger against them is justified. Since you aren't a leftist, you must be a "jew" - even my smart conservative friends who happen to be born to jewish families get irked when presented with the facts that they also know are true (hence the emotional outbursts).DaKardii wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:52 pmThat's because the "International Jewish Conspiracy" theory is bullshit and you know it. BTW, that conspiracy theory is very frequently invoked by the pro-CCP voices within the anti-establishment right who I mentioned earlier.Cool Breeze wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:17 pm
Indeed. It is also curious that DaKardii got his panties in a bunch when someone pointed out how parasitical and detrimental to host societies such a large portion of "jews" have been and are currently.
Second, the West doesn't hate Russia because of Jews. Not even in the "IJC doesn't exist but a lot of Jews do those things" sense. The West hated Russia even when both of them were generally unfriendly to Jews. Historically, it was due to ethno-religious differences. The West was Germanic and Romantic, and practiced Catholicism and Protestantism. Russia was Slavic and practiced Orthodox Christianity. Even when Russia tried to be more like the West, it was considered to be the black sheep of Europe.
Another factor that drives Western contempt for Russia today is the popularity of Halford MacKinder's "Heartland Theory" among geopolitical experts. Russia owns part of the Heartland and thus is capable of controlling the world, these experts say. The same goes with China and India. Zbigniew Brzezinski argued that the same could be said about Iran and Turkey.
