Anti-Russian Bigotry Is The Common Denominator In Kiev And ISIS-K’s Latest Infowar Operations

It’s shocking for Westerners to realize, but their elite’s anti-Russian proxies in Eastern Europe embrace the exact same ethno-nationalist bigotry against Russians as the world’s most infamous terrorist group does.

It’s an objectively existing and easily verifiable fact that “Kiev’s Top Officials Are Shamelessly Spewing Ethno-Nationalist Hate Speech” against Russians, yet now none other than ISIS-K is following their lead. According to Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov in his latest interview with Sputnik, the world’s most infamous terrorist group is actively “inciting anti-Russian sentiments in the (Central Asian) region, including in the context of the special military operation in Ukraine.”

This should come as no surprise since the Eurasian Heartland is a major centre of competition in the New Cold War between the US-led West’s Golden Billion and the jointly BRICS– and SCO-led Global South of which Russia’s a part. What’s most interesting though is that ISIS-K is employing the same weaponized information warfare narrative against Russia as Kiev is in spite of those two forces superficially supporting completely different value systems.

The first-mentioned perverts religious texts in an attempt to violently impose a radical dictatorship upon others while the second claims to stand for the so-called “rules-based order’s” foundational principles of “democracy” and “human rights”. The reality, however, is that both ISIS-K and Kiev have realized that it’s politically convenient for them to utilize anti-Russian bigotry in pursuit of their desired ends, which speaks to those two having a lot more ideologically in common than initially meets the eye.

Simply put, they’re both different sides of the same fascist-totalitarian coin, each of which is inherently hateful and supremacist in their outlook. ISIS-K doesn’t even attempt to hide this while Kiev and its sympathizers across the US-led West’s Mainstream Media try to gaslight people across the Golden Billion into thinking that hate speech against Russians is supposedly a “value” that’s worth them spending tens of billions of dollars’ worth of taxes to “protect”.

There was once a time not too long ago when ethno-nationalist bigotry was universally frowned upon in the West, but now it’s passionately encouraged and has even transformed into a so-called “value” that’s become an inextricable part of that same civilization. The speed with which this reversal took place shows how effective the ruling elite’s information warfare operations against their own people have been that practically no one openly opposes this disgusting trend.

Frankly speaking, the only differences between Kiev and ISIS-K’s anti-Russian hate speech are the details of their particular narratives that are designed to appeal to different targeted audiences, the West’s and Central Asia’s respectively. The spirit of hatred is the same and is weaponized for the identical purpose of provoking ethnic hostility, which is expected to place Russia even further on the strategic defensive in each region.

Innocent people will inevitably be harmed solely on the basis of the ethno-national identity that they were born with, which would ordinarily be condemned by the West but is instead nowadays enthusiastically endorsed. The double standard at play is that this same civilization still at least officially condemns related bigotry against Black & Brown folks, Jews, Muslims, and those with non-traditional gender-sexual identities, though those minorities might also one day find themselves targeted too.

It’s shocking for Westerners to realize, but their elite’s anti-Russian proxies in Eastern Europe embrace the exact same ethno-nationalist bigotry against Russians as the world’s most infamous terrorist group does. That observation alone should make the most objective among them realize that something is terribly wrong, yet the Golden Billion’s gatekeepers are expected to do their utmost to suppress any related discussion about this in order to gaslight everyone into thinking that it’s “normal”.
