6) В курсе ли американцы и граждане Европы что интеллект и предрасположенность к фашизму никак не связаны. У руских нет иммунитета к пропаганде, даже если есть высокий интеллект. Рецидив имперского величия будет повторяться многократно, пока росейская федерация существует как единое государство. 7) Что США думают о руских политических диссидентах заброшенных ФСБ и формирующих у американского истеблишмента положительное отношение к русской культуре с целью сохранения империи в текущих границах после Путина? 8) Знают ли американцы и европейцы, что верноподданичество, шовинизм и ЛЮТАЯ нетерпимость к чужому успеху - вот главные особенности всех характеров, описанных в русских произведениях? Это основной нарратив, который руские экспортируют на Запад. Вот что писал руский поэт А.С. Пушкин своему сокурснику - "Я конечно презираю отечество мое с головы до ног но мне досадно если иностранец разделяет со мною это чувство". 9) Известно ли американцам что Соловьев, Киселев, Попов, Скобеева и Симоньян (главные ведущие в prime-time на центральных TV каналах россии последние 10-15 лет) не виноваты в расчеловечивании (дегуманизации) россиян? Каждый день в своих эфирах они угрожают американцам и европейцам, только потому что простые русские люди (80-84%) мечтают нанести по вам ядерный удар. Путин - это не просто президент, а скорее отражение русской ментальности. Путин - это вожак стада, с абсолютно криминальным сознанием. В своем подавляющем большинстве русские хотят только одного - крови и реванша за распад СССР. Русские не смогут смирится с вашим успехом никогда. 10) Понимают ли в США разницу между Геббельсом и ведущим аналитических программ Соловьевым, с которым его часто сравнивают? Если Геббельс действительно вдохновлял немецкое общество на тотальную войну, то в россии было все наоборот: простой русский народ вдохновил Путина на войну против цивилизации, не дав Владимир Владимировичу потратить награбленное. Бенефициарами проекта "специальная военная операция" являются простые руские люди

11) Понимают ли в США что войну можно остановить только развалив Россию на суверенные государства? Что плохого в 30-50 независимых государствах, которые были под оккупацией русских сотни лет??? Зачем нужно внешнее управление? Чтобы что? Русских воспитывали цари, воспитывали коммунисты, воспитывали демократы и нечего не воспитали. Вы хотите потратить еще триллионы долларов или евро налогоплатильщиков, чтобы усмирить бешенную собаку? Не проще ли и гуманнее будет ее усыпить? Я не знаю ни одного украинца убитого американцем или англичанином. Но я знаю тысячи украинцев, замученных и убитых рускими тварями, под эгидой руского мира. Не бурятского, не чеченского, не российского, а РУССКОГО. Именно руские гонят бурятов на смерть а не наоборот. 12) Почему США бояться, что утечет ядерное оружье? В РФ всего несколько баз хранения, их сложно проконтролировать? Продукты даже слабого распада оставляют радиационный след? Нет ничего опаснее чем оружье в руках русских имперцев ненавидящих весь мир. Что думают на счет денуклеаризации (denuclearization) российской федерации? Смогут ли помочь с утилизацией ядерных зарядов, у которых давно истёк срок годности? 13) США и Европа обеспокоены тем что не смогут справится с беженцами в случае гражданской войны в россии??? США и Европа рассматривают сценарий, при котором регионы, оккупированные рускими просто отделятся на основании признаков национального самоопределения? От куда утверждение что будет гражданская война? Возможно возникнет несколько небольших вялотекущих конфликтов из-за спорных территорий (Чечня-Дагестан и т.д.). Что они думают об этом... 14) США обеспокоены тем что распад РФ усложнит логистику сырья и повысит цены? Да, гнать за бесценок сырье больше никто не будет. Может дело и правда в том что Западу просто нужна одна помойка с централизованным управлением, которую выгодно доить? Верно ли предположение, что так как текущий владелец русской свинофермы выжил из ума, то США ищут нового претендента на трон, в среде так называемых "хороших русских", умело притворяющихся русской оппозицией? Все чем занимается "русская оппозиция" в Европе - это лоббированием интересов Кремля, внутри европейских политических партий
