They also tried a color revolution in Kazakhstan and got BTFO’d. The CTSO treaty was invoked for the first time ever and Kazakhstan and Russia called out the CIA and named Jews like George Soros. I think that TPTB even shut it down hard and fast themselves once Russia and Kazakhstan went on blast and were clearly ready to go HAM. The main error that the US makes is that the modern version of Western Civilization, which is Americanized, and no longer drawing from classical and enlightenment sources, is mentally infantile. America is mentally a baby. Russia as a continuous civilization is so much older and is a fusion of east and west, with all the vestigal elements of classic western civ which Americanized Civ has discarded. Russia is the successor to both Byzantium and the Golden Horde, and draws heavily from both as they continue to mature in their own unique way. America is like an immature narcissist that wants to deny others what it cannot have and smash toys when it doesn’t get its way. We get Russia wrong because we don’t have the vocabulary and concepts to properly discuss it, let alone deconstruct or manipulate it. Russia understands us. Very well. And in The Art of War, if your enemy does not know you while you know your enemy, you need not fear 1,000 battles. The Russian mind is very wise and soulful. The West has become a murder-suicide cult and easy to play and bait into self-pwns. Sadly, our ignorant leaders lie to the rest of us which makes it all the more bewildering to the herd about why shit is happening the way that it does.
