The Real News – Why Are Liberal Media Outlets Not Questioning Russiagate? Q&A (Pt 4/5)

Summary:
I thought this was an excellent analysis of the Ruissiagate myth.  Paul Jay describes how the Russians were once portrayed as evil, godless communists, but now they are capitalist the establishment stills portrays Russia as deadly evil. People were  programmed to hate Russia during the Cold War and this is still deep in American psyche (which was designed to also put people off communism)  and with all that momentum built up it is easy to still get people worked up and frightened about Russia. Paul Jay says that the reason for this is to drive more arms sales for the military-industrial complex. What an evil way to make money, and it's lazy?I haven't seen the other parts but I think they will be very good.  [embedded content]
