"European governments, media and political classes are regarded as existential enemies". They are also existential enemies of many of their own populations - especially those who question the lies and refuse to accept their open russophobia or their covert (and sometimes overt) support of genocidal Israel.

"Europe chose this."

Washington chose this. The political prostitutes of Europe did as instructed. As did the press organs who are even less self aware.

There is no part of this description, which is perfectly accurate, that indicates that Europe chose anything at all.

actually, the USA financed both world wars in the good tradition of an empire: weaken your opponents. That was not necessarily the plan, the plan was to make good old money (and it did: JP Morgan, Standard Oil, the new empire), but the outcome was a colonialized Europe. Funny that many were upset about the Austrian Painter as he wanted to colonialize Europe, the white people. Well, it happened anyway, but with better use of language, like freedom, democracy, liberation.

Excessive greed for money and power on the part of its rulers has done in every civilization we know of, and it's not going to be different this time...and as we see in the present world, it often involves important foreigners to control the native population...

«Concentration camps for thought crimes» - sad but that is an apt description of where Europe stands. Digital ID coming soon so they can herd the cattle there easier. It will continue as long the people accept it, and sadly the majority are brainwashed enough to go along.

Russians should perhaps recall that over 50% of Ukraine desired to be allied to Russia, barely 25% of them even wanted to join NATO, and yet coming up to 2m of them are now bleached bones, living (or not) in a totalitarian Western-controlled corrupt Nazi regime.

What makes them think the domestic Western populations are treated any better by the same people doing this to Ukraine?

Obviously, Western societies are now ruled by utter psychopaths (If they weren't always, looking at the past 400 years).

Naturally Russians are disgusted by the Western corporate media. So are most westerners, it's been 100+ years since mass media was held in such universal contempt.

Unfortunately, our votes are immaterial, and can't change the course we are on. So it's wise for general Russian society to be so wary and angry.

All we can do is hope this rational hatred doesn't spill over into conflict without rules (such as Geneva C.), as has already happened in Ukr once the Russian POWs were tortured to death, and Western/Ukr media gloated about it. Along with all the other crimes against humanity atrocities.

No more talk of "Brotherly nations", it is noted.
