American News
One-Story America is a book written by Ilf and Petrov, two Soviet writers who, in 1936, traveled by car from coast to coast in the United States. They noticed that the Americans, while always glad to share about their own lives, had no reciprocal questions for the Soviet writers. Once they asked a hitchhiker, who had been describing in detail his own life and problems for over an hour and about the problems in the U.S. during the Great Depression, if he was interested in knowing something about the Soviet Union. "No," he replied. "My wife reads newspapers, and she can tell me about that." This appalling stupidity and self-centeredness, I'm afraid, is part and parcel of the American culture, perhaps due to the Americans, at least early on in their history, looking at their country as the new 'promised land' given to them. Proof of this is looking at Fox News. Not a single-world event. And everyone else knows what is going on. BRICS Meeting in Kazan, war in the Middle East, and war in Europe. This ignorance in America is almost part of the national pride to look at their own country as 'exceptional' as Obama said and to consider the rest of the world as unimportant because the U.S. has been calling the shots for several decades since the 1990s. All that is over! But why bother the U.S. population about it? What good would it do those in power in D.C.? Well, from someone who grew up in the U.S. culture and who now is a citizen of Russia, I am able to see both sides a little clearer. And the sense and facts are that the U.S. and its goons in Europe are themselves marginalized and part of a 'pariah pact'. The rest of the world looks on this pariah act like suddenly having a relative who snapped his twig but not knowing what to do or how to pretend life is normal with a dangerous person in the house. In getting back to Ilf & Petrov's experience with the hitchhiker, I couldn't help but notice that each time I went back to America and met people, my parents kept a large house and enjoyed guests. Nobody, including my own family members, had anything to ask, only dictate, and the topic was on Communism and Socialism, which my wife would know about as she lived during that period. Occasionally a question might be asked, sometimes in a way that the answer was already given. It's embarrassing, and only something you notice after living out of the U.S. My own family in America, on my mother's side, goes back to the 1680s, when Jacques Cozart began life in the English-controlled territories. I guess the U.S. isn't worried about self-perception, as long as they can control the news story. If getting runout of Afghanistan wasn't humiliating enough, well, just ignore it. With defeat looming in Europe for the West, as well as in Israel, just throw an angle for the news agencies to spew out. After all, truth isn't important; everyone realizes that it's the money, power, and something more sinister, like the cancellation culture, a culture of suicide that American and Western Europeans invite everyone to join, or face war and sanctions, according to the Spas reporter at the Brics conference. Now, like never before, Russia needs to lead the way against the West's cup of poison!
