A 4th of July message from Russia to America from Dmitry Medvedev (former Russian president and current Deputy Head of the Kremlin's Security Council)
“On July 4, Americans are going to celebrate. On this very day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence formally separating the US from Great Britain was enacted. The usual set of events is planned, accompanied by barbeque smoke, colourful fireworks, and pompously dull speeches.
Today in America, though, they speak quieter and far less about that very Civil War, that lasted from 1861 till 1865, even though it is an outstanding event in history, and its outcomes are quite important for the average person overseas.
Why? One of the reasons is that gloomy parallels with today become more obvious, including the “premonition of civil war.” It is enough to watch their recent film, Civil War.
However, there are other very unpleasant associations.
It has become clear to many that the experience of long-term confrontation between the Union and the slave-owning Confederacy greatly resembles the Ukrainian conflict.
In terms of industrial potential and human resources, the difference between the North and the South was comparable to that between today's Russia and the Ukraine. And with that, the ideals of the adversaries greatly differed. For the North, it was equality, liberty, same law for all, while the South propagated inhumane, inveterate racism. The foreign bastards – same as today, England and France – brazenly intervened, wishing for the South to win. They supported slave-owners then in the same way they support nazi Kiev today, together with the present-day US.
The parallels are more than obvious – and all the more unpleasant for the left-liberal establishment that runs the US mass-media. In the American press, the President of Russia is sometimes even likened to Abraham Lincoln. Take, for example, this telling headline: "Vladimir Lincoln Invaded Ukraine to Preserve the Cohesion of the Union".
For Washington, there are many unpleasant allusions within the political and diplomatic aspects of the special military operation and the Civil War of the 19th century, including its outcomes.
As is well known, Lincoln, the Republican president, eventually won the war; unlike their demented leader, Biden’s Democratic party comrades haven’t completely lost their memory. They know that Lincoln’s victory became part of world history; his name is revered in Europe, Latin America and Africa for real accomplishments, and absolutely not because his portrait adorns banknotes. Yet, the White House buffoons of today, like the mediocre Blinken, as well as the sullen elder of the Senate, would not even dream of that.
The senseless and impotent propaganda of the White House of today is also desperately looking for an epiphany in history books. They bring in the narrative that Ukraine is kind of acting like Britain in 1940-41. They proclaim the little man with red, shifty eyes wearing a shabby khaki T-shirt the “new Churchill.” They demand that an old geezer with his mouth half-open, who can hardly stand upright became the “new Roosevelt”, probably hinting that the future US president would likely rule from a wheelchair due to poor health. However, the demented old man is no FDR; which is why the public winces in disbelief.
America is a country with a short history — however hurtful this might be for Americans — but there are some bright pages in it. One of them is precisely the Civil War, which marked victory over slavery. It is from this angle that the public abroad sees what is happening here: in essence, a civil war among the same people, in which the majority are forced to defend their independence with weapons fighting against the new nazis who are once again supported by a corrupt Europe and American military industrial complex.
And just like in the 19th century, the outcome of this war should be the unification of our country. The revival of Great Russia!
P.S. Hey you, Americans! To paraphrase that Trump of yours, "Make Russia Great Again!”
