Fake News Alert: Macron Lied When He Accused Russia Of Conspiring With Turkiye Against Armenia
There’s no truth to this alternative reality whatsoever at all, but spewing these falsehoods is intended to advance the geopolitical agenda of the US-led West’s Golden Billion.
French President Macron flat-out lied when accusing Russia of conspiring with Turkiye against Armenia via Azerbaijan. According to what President Putin correctly described as his counterpart’s “twisted” and “unacceptable” fantasy, Russia allegedly “played Azerbaijan’s game with Turkish complicity and came back to weaken Armenia”, which Macron said that Moscow did in order “to create disorder in the Caucasus to destabilize us all.” There’s no truth to this alternative reality whatsoever at all, but spewing these falsehoods is intended to advance the geopolitical agenda of the US-led West’s Golden Billion.
To explain, this New Cold War bloc is actively attempting to “poach” Armenia from the BRICS- & SCO-led Global South through information warfare designed to artificially generate public support for that country ditching Russia’s CSTO mutual defense pact. They expect that this envisaged outcome will weaken Russia’s regional position, thus eroding its newly restored status as a world power and therefore giving its adversaries a strategic edge. This method is especially cunning since it exploits their target audience’s paranoia and resentment that followed their defeat in the 2020 Karabakh War.
Those readers who aren’t too familiar with that conflict and Russia’s principled stance towards it should review my two analyses from right after everything ended: “The End Of The Nagorno-Karabakh War: Retrospection, Clarification, And Forecast” and “Analytical Reflections: Learning From The Nagorno-Karabakh Fiasco”. The first hyperlinks to several dozen pieces chronicling the conflict as it evolved, while the second explains why so many observers got so much wrong about it, including Russia’s position. In brief, Russia remained neutral and was thus requested by both to dispatch peacekeepers to Karabakh.
Many Armenians, however, were influenced by prior propaganda into falsely expecting that Russia would rush to their rescue and defeat Azerbaijan for them. There wasn’t ever any factual basis behind those expectations since they were only created as a result of hostile information forces manipulating perceptions about the CSTO. Moscow’s mutual defense obligations to Yerevan only concern the protection of its ally’s universally recognized territory, which doesn’t include Azerbaijan’s universally recognized Karabakh region.
Be that as it is, it’s admittedly understandable why some might feel disappointed with Russia for not militarily intervening in their support during last month’s Armenian-Azerbaijani clashes, during which time Yerevan accused its opponents of occupying its selfsame universally recognized territory. I explained at the time in my four-part article series here, here, here, and here that Armenia might have actually been the one to initiate hostilities and not Azerbaijan, which Yerevan would have done in that scenario in order to catalyze regional chaos for the purpose of destabilizing Russia at the US’ behest.
In a sense, Armenia might have actually done precisely what Macron falsely claimed that Russia was doing, which isn’t as far-fetched as casual readers might think upon remembering that it suspiciously hosted the CIA chief over the summer despite his intelligence agency waging proxy warfare against Yerevan’s Russian ally via Ukraine. It was also extremely unfriendly of Armenia to host US Speaker Pelosi last month too, during which time she railed against that country’s Russian ally. Regardless of however readers interpret this sequence of events, it’s clear that Russian-Armenian ties are presently very rocky.
Returning back to France’s information warfare agenda, it should also be pointed out that this member of the Golden Billion also hosts a very powerful and highly influential Armenian diaspora, which aggressively lobbies that New Cold War bloc to intensify its anti-Russian policies in the South Caucasus. It therefore isn’t surprising that it was Macron of all Western leaders who was chosen as the one to spew the fake news about Russia supposedly conspiring with Turkiye against Armenia via Azerbaijan. In fact, it makes perfect sense in hindsight when considering all the preceding insight in this analysis.
Looking forward, it remains unclear whether the geopolitical plot to “poach” Armenia from Russia’s CSTO will succeed, but there’s little doubt that more active efforts will be undertaken to this end in the coming future as very strongly suggested by the unprecedentedly high-profile fake news that Macron just spew about Moscow’s regional policy. Observers should therefore remain alert for similarly fake narratives that’ll predictably follow this latest one, all of which aim to sow the seeds of division between the fraternal Armenian and Russian people in order to precondition them for the next phase of this plot.
People always say that those who love the dead are stricken with anosmia. For me, there’s nothing to that, and my nose perceives the most diverse odours vividly, even if, like everyone, I am accustomed to those of my surroundings to the point of no longer being able to smell them. It could, in fact, be possible that the odour of bombyx impregnates my whole apartment without my even noticing.
The ladies show no signs of having any special trouble cleaning the antique store I inherited from my father. At the very most, once in a while, there’s a vague grumbling over the old objects, the nests of dust, the fragile things that are so ugly even though new ones could be purchased for much less. It’s only in my private apartment, on the fifth floor, that their behavior causes me to reflect. They stare into the corners with a look of prudent suspicion. They observe me slyly, and, most of all, they sniff the apartment’s odour, shifting their eyes. They sniff and sniff, searching their memory, finding nothing that’s right; sniff again, until a strange worry spreads over them. Then they become hunted beasts and escape. When I try to get them back to work, they give me the most vague answers with a frightened look, shaking their heads if I offer to increase their wages. I put a new ad into the papers and the same story begins again. One day, however, one of the cleaning ladies had the courage to ask me why I always wore black clothes, even though I wasn’t in mourning. Another, very young, already fat, and whose name I’ve forgotten, declared in a local store that I smelled like a vampire. Always this old and aberrant confusion between two beings so fundamentally opposed as the vampire and the necrophiliac, between the dead that feed off the living and the living who love the dead. I don’t deny, nevertheless, that after several days, the perfume of the bombyx transforms itself into an odour like that of heated metal that, more and more acrid, thickens finally into a stench of entrails. Each of these stages has its charm — even if the last announces separation — but never would I have the idea to eat the flesh of one of my friends, the dead, nor to drink the blood.
