    About this ebook

    Cold War 2.0 has emerged and irrational Russophobia has gripped America's media, political class and the public. Putin is not a saint, but neither is any other country. This book is about understanding the geopolitical dynamics, relationship and the Great Power competition between the US and Russia. This new perspective will allow the reader to see current events through a whole new prism.

    Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons, the 6th largest economy in the world (by purchasing power) and global influence. Its alliance with China and others can significantly erode America's primacy. Unfortunately, US policies seem to be aimed at creating a powerful anti-US bloc that keeps expanding to include strategic countries such as Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and more. While fanning anti-Russia hysteria may seem like a good idea to score political points, US elites are harming America's long-term economic and security interests in Eurasia and elsewhere.

    This short book reveals many facts about history and the US foreign policies that the reader will never come across in textbooks, corporate media or the mainstream narrative. The reader will understand the true reasons why US-Russia relations are appalling and why we must seek rapprochement.

      Chapter 1: Why Putin Attacks Us

      While writing my book on the Syrian war, I came across several disturbing videos. In one, Syrian rebels destroyed a church and riddled the Cross with bullets; in another terrifying video, an armed Syrian rebel asks someone if he was a Sunni or an Alawite (Shiite Muslim). When the victim says, Alawite, the rebel fires multiple rounds and kills the victim. Such psychopaths have three qualities: (1) Fanatic belief in their ideology (2) Inability to sympathize with other people’s point of view, and (3) Refusal to coexist with others who are different.

      While we insist upon tolerance within America, our foreign policy is quite different. Americans are told they are the greatest, #1 and exceptional. We are stuck in perpetual wars and we always have a bogeyman du jour.

      To justify all the aggression, we are fed endless atrocity propaganda that incontrovertibly proves how evil another country and its leaders are. In this mythology, America is the innocent Little Red Riding Hood who’s threatened by wolves like Putin. He attacks our democracy! He threatens Europe! (There’s also new vitriol towards China and Iran).

      The fact is that US policies over the last 25 years have consistently pushed Russia away and fostered enmity between the two nations.

      1990’s, Harvard Boys and the Russian Economy

      1992 started with a new Russia that had just dissolved its communist system. Everything American was considered awesome. American TV shows, American products and … American economists … took over Russia. What better way to achieve prosperity?

      The Harvard Boys were in charge of the Russian economy. Larry Summers, Jeffrey Sachs, Robert Rubin and others implemented their grand economic reforms with the help of handpicked Russian politicians and businessmen (future oligarchs).

      To make the long story short, Russia experienced the Great Depression for the next eight years. Hyperinflation, 40% drop in GDP, mass unemployment, widespread poverty, soaring suicides … the reforms turned out to be a cruel shock therapy.

      However, pro-West oligarchs such as Khodorkovsky, Berezovsky and Abramovich became instant billionaires. Americans like Bill Browder – the now famous anti-Putin warrior behind the Magnitsky Act – also enjoyed the spoils of the plunder.

      US Meddling in Russian Politics

      While we are shocked by the Russian interference in our election, back in the 1990s, Washington elites literally picked the Russian President and the cabinet. As Bill Clinton bragged to Tony Blair, he also had tremendous influence over the Russian parliament. And when Boris Yeltsin was about to lose in the 1996 election, Bill Clinton arranged an IMF loan that went into Yeltsin’s campaign coffer; and US campaign managers and pollsters flew into Russia and engineered a resounding victory for Yeltsin. The US media gloated about the meddling with titles, Yanks to the Rescue! and Rescuing Boris.

      American Jihadists, Part II

      If the CIA and Saudi Arabia created Mujahideen/Al Qaeda in Afghanistan to defeat the USSR, they didn’t want to dismantle such a splendid organization. In 1992, those fighters were sent to Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Chechnya and Kosovo, which all had economic and geopolitical significance.

      Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea has vast reserves of oil and gas. And the only competition was the Russian pipelines that went through … Chechnya.

      Soon, a pro-US dictator took over Azerbaijan — he and his son have been ruling the country for the last 25 years (obviously, we won’t demand democracy there).
