    Unlike Iraq where there was only a passing fad on Saddam, Russophobia is and always was one of the cornerstones of atlanticist west, and it just got amplified for 2 years to levels of open calls for nuclear genocide and this kind of rubbish being said by governments and eaten by yappers.

    Of course a lot of it will depend on what western media will say after, but again, Iraq lost and was devastated, so their blood and oil lust was satisfied, while Russia is going to win this while their own countries gets fascified fast and plunged into worst crisis since 1929 - they will keep riding on blaming Russia train.

      Britain in particular has absolutely loathed and wanted to destroy Russia since the 1840s. This is a generational hatred that Anglos have for Russia and that just isn’t going away. They will never stop dreaming about dismantling Russia, regardless what Russia does or how it behaves toward the West. And the US elite for all that it is the senior partner in the imperialist partnership with the UK still continues to take many of its cultural cues from the British aristocracy.

        Agreed, this is part of the inherent hegemonic hatred towards Russia in particular that exists in Anglo societies and institutions.

        I hope that someday the rest of the world sees the Anglosphere in the exact same light they wrongly paint Russians and Chinese- as rabid societies, though in the Anglosphere’s case this definition is completely deserved- as they are wholly founded on genocide, slavery, and forever wars, and must almost definitely must be dismantled (or at least overthrown) for there to be any semblance of peace in the world. As I see it, Anglo culture as it is today is the antithesis of multipolarity, of peaceful development and cooperation with other nations, of indigenous rights, racial equality, and national sovereignty and self-determination worldwide, and until the Anglo-imperial mindset is thoroughly uprooted it will always pose a threat to any and all nations- always an insidious poison, trying to fracture and balkanize nations, instigate genocides and destabilize regions through manufactured famines/sanctions and terrorists, etc.
