The Real News Network - Does the Russiagate Narrative Protect Those with Power and Influence? Q&A (Pt 2/5)

Here, Paul Jay gives an excellent explanation of Russiagate. Yes, people in the military-industrial complex are keeping the 'Russia did it' scare going to make billions, but also, the American ruling elite hate it that when the Soviet Union folded they didn't get in on the mass privatisations they thought they would get because Russian oligarchs took over the state run industries instead pushing their guys out. Also, Russia  has massive oil reserves which they covet over.

So, Russia has the most advanced nuclear deterrent in the world to protect itself from the Western bandits, buccaneers, crooks,. and pirates which form the US and European aristocracy.

What I found interesting is that Paul Jay doesn't think Trump has a focused policy of separating Russia from China, but rather, the ruling elite that Trump represents see Russia as a white Christian nation they can make allies with. This is especially the view of Steve Bannon, says Paul Jay.
