Lavrov on Moscow. Kremlin. Putin. Program

Lavrov was asked a curious question and provided one of his semi-cryptic answers on the weekly "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" program:

Question: At a meeting on the events in Dagestan, which you also attended, President Vladimir Putin used the words "root of evil" for the first time in reference to the United States. Are they doing something with the root? Uprooted? What should be done with it?

Sergey Lavrov: There are other methods, including the use of chemicals, which do not have to be uprooted. President Vladimir Putin may have used this term for the first time, but he has repeatedly voiced the idea, conclusion and assessment that the United States is the main actor (as it is now fashionable to say) whose goal is to destabilise any region of the world.

Recently, I read analytical responses to what is happening. One of the politicians (not in Russia) said that when they discuss the foreign policy of the West and the United States, it is wrong to talk about double standards. They have the same standard: "We are in charge. We will return what we want. Where we can't achieve any result, we will destabilize the situation and fish in troubled waters."

If you look at all the foreign adventures of the United States over the past fifty years, starting with Vietnam, there is not a single story in which they have actually benefited the country and the region in whose affairs they intervened.

This only confirms the conclusion I have just voiced: it is in their interest to destabilise anything and everything. Then wait for their dollars (which they print in huge quantities) for someone to come in the expectation that the United States will "help" someone again. Those who count on such assistance should remember the sad experience of all the leaders of countries that relied on the United States. As soon as the situation changed, Washington shamelessly abandoned these leaders to their fate and began a new phase of its selfish policy.

Question: As for the root and the "chemicals" – will we not be accused of preparing and using chemical weapons? Now there are all sorts of fantasies.

Sergey Lavrov: This is an image. Let everyone draw conclusions to the best of their ability.

I would go further back in time than Lavrov to the period immediately after WW2 to the Outlaw US Empire's actions in Central and South America as well as its saving many Nazis, but otherwise he's correct. What Russia is trying to do is to get the Global Majority to awaken and review what has actually occurred since WW2, which is certainly 100% revisionist but isn't aimed at altering those events but understanding them and the consequences they've had since, one of which is the genocide in Palestine.
