EU Presidency Emits "Santa Ana Wind" in Russia's Direction

In preparation for the EU-Russian summit tomorrow, the Portuguese EU presidency has issued a paper hostile towards Russia, to be discussed among EU chiefs of government, the object of which is to fan further flames of ungovernability toward nations that oppose imperial globalization policies. The text of the confidential paper, of which the Financial Times Germany has provided a copy, implores the EU to adopt a more aggressive policy towards Russia, which it says could become an "enemy" on foreign policy issues. The report continues to say that the result of the coming elections in Russia will be "a ruthless foreign policy, a harder domestic policy and loud rhetoric." It then warns of the "dark sides of growing nationalism" in Russia and of the Moscow "orchestrated campaigns against some member-states" of the EU.

If such saber-rattling toward Russia is a surprise to your ears, in future, don't wait for traditional newspapers to report on tensions building up around the world, as if the EU president were reacting to actions Russia has recently taken, instead, look for upcoming policy initiatives in the plots of youth brainwashing military video games that are slated to come out in the upcoming season. For example, here is a selection from the Wikipedia plot synopsis for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, a game slated for release November 5th: "A Russian nationalist by the name of Zakhaev is set on returning his homeland to the Soviet times. Zakhaev knows the United States would never allow this to happen, thus he funds a coup in the Middle East, organized by his ally Al-Asad, to draw attention away from Russia...The British and US governments have been monitoring Zakhaev's activities and discover his real intentions..."

Such highly polished uses of media propaganda as this, merely typify the longstanding intention by some, to set international conflicts ablaze when collaboration between nations were possible, and only afterward, try to blame the arsen of the wildfire they created on the targetted scapegoat they deem "enemy". Those in European establishments with sense enough to sniff the hot air coming to them in papers such as this, recongnize its foul source, and know that lude "contributions" such as these are not appropriate in good company.
