Why the American media do not want to believe in the "new weapon of Russia"

6
US media today are trying to somehow reassure ordinary people who are clearly not happy with the prospect of paying their own well-being, or even with life, for militaristic adventures and other miscalculations in the external policy Washington. In order to reduce the intensity of passions, the American media, as they can, convince their audience that the new types of Russian weapons are "fiction", "bluff" and do not pose any threat to them. It turns out badly ... In truth, it does not work out at all - since some messages, in fact, refute others, and instead of facts, dubious rumors and conjectures are used.





Consider the issue on the example of CNBC - one of the leading television channels not only in the United States (according to 2013, its subscribers were approximately 85% of American families with televisions), but also the world: about 400 million subscribers are connected to the global television network created by the channel different countries. For some time now, CNBC has been terribly preoccupied with the problem of the most advanced types of Russian weapons that could pose a real danger to the United States. One gets the impression that the channel, taking into account the volume of its audience, was simply turned into a source of “planned information leaks” with an “ideologically correct” background. It is difficult to determine who is behind this action - the Pentagon, the State Department, the White House, or all of them together. Yes, this is not important, by and large.

Not so long ago, some “reliable sources with direct access to US Naval Intelligence reports” (!) Suddenly decided to share “breathtaking” information with reporters: it turns out, “Doomsday weapons”, Russian Poseidon nuclear drones, capable if not wiping the United States off the face of the earth, then, in any case, turning them into a total disaster zone - this is nothing more than "plans for the distant future." Nothing to fear! The Shtirlits of the US Navy managed to obtain accurate information: it is not known how the atomic drones themselves are, but submarines capable of becoming their carriers will appear in the Russian Navy no earlier than 2027! So - you can relax. As much as eight years ... At the same time, we must pay tribute to CNBC reporters - they honestly acknowledge the fact that the United States has no idea how to defend themselves from Poseidon and recognize it as an “extremely difficult goal” to “detect” difficult, and neutralizing is even more difficult. " It is openly said that the US Navy does not even have a weapon, even close in class, and it seems that it is not expected.

Will eight years help in this case? Unlikely. Moreover, the terms called "scouts" are taken, frankly, from the ceiling. What they are based on is understandable: for sure, they “pushed off” from delays in the construction of the Belgorod nuclear submarine, which could become the first combat carrier of the Poseidon. However, firstly, the shift in the deadlines for putting the boat into operation in this case was associated with a change in the project, and now the process is rapidly moving to completion. Secondly, gentlemen, Americans, who told you that you know everything about Russian military plans ?! Blessed is he who believes ... Wait for surprises. It is not without reason that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg’s news of the Poseidons plunged into an extremely gloomy state of mind in which he began to rant that Russia was “increasing its investment in its nuclear potential.” Yes, we are increasing! Have you left us a choice?

Here, by the way, regarding investments ... All the same CNBC, after some time after exaggerating the Poseidon theme, decided to reassure its viewers with another joyful news: Russia simply does not have money for new weapons! Do you want to - believe it or not - but that's exactly what was stated from millions of blue screens: relax, citizens of America, while Trump is still unfinished to a great level! Well, where do the poor Russians get billions from for things like Petrel, Armata, or Su-57? Yes, they probably already haven’t enough vodka, I suppose, and the bears die of hunger! Evidence? Well, “Armata” is not stamped by thousands and tens of thousands - that means there is definitely no money. And the "old" fighters are modernizing for some reason - no, so as we, to throw hundreds of billions into the "fifth generation" with dubious qualities ... Honestly - this is the argument, if I exaggerate, it’s a little.

The most touching thing about this is CNBC’s reassurance that, again, according to American intelligence, Russia will not have any nuclear-powered missiles for at least another “decade”. And, moreover, attention, the most important thing here is that if there are any, “there will be only a few units, since the mass production of Burevestnik missiles is extremely expensive! Yeah ... Either the TV channel was lying, or the American scouts are guys, well, very alternatively gifted. You are our dear! Yes, and “a few” are enough for your eyes! We are not going to split the globe at all - even in the most extreme case. But we can completely punish someone. And not in ten years, believe me.

As with the passage cited above about “Russia's financial inability to produce high-tech weapons” one more story of the same TV channel is docked - it’s incomprehensible to the mind. Not having time to convince the audience of the allegedly insolvency of the Russian military-industrial complex due to the "limited budget" (where did they get it and where did they find it ?!), CNBC immediately throws the head of the news that some "secret training ground of the Russian army has already arrived for testing no less than 20 dagger hypersonic missiles. According to journalists ... yes, yes - "received from US intelligence", guessed it! So - according to their information, the missiles will be tested using long-range Tu-22 bombers. Yeah, those same missiles that are "cartoons" that "do not exist", and cannot be in the "bastard Russia" in principle ...

Would you, gentlemen, be more careful, or something, with the audience! And then from some kind of somersaults, “Putin has no hypersound, he’s bluffing,” or else the Russian VKS “daggers” dozed dozens, some might have a weak cognitive dissonance. You somehow already decide on the general line, at least in this matter. Or scare, or lie and calm. Better yet, tell the truth. At least about whose fault Russia is forced to build up its arsenals, which the United States will have to reckon with, whatever one may say.

    Ordinary inhabitants, in principle, do not care. In their social networks, they are worried about the economy and Trump.

    And to believe, not to believe - it is necessary to lie less. Unsuccessful 3D videos, replacement of videos, arrest of a pensioner-rocket launcher, inadequate changing hypersound figures, statements that everything is already there, when a bunch of military interviews, that only elements are tested ...
    Massive lies in Rosstat .... PR in lies ..... Dope, sweet couple, Roskosmos ...

    And now believe everything?

      Do you absolutely have to believe? Have you ever tried to think and analyze?

        There, half of the population does not even know what Putin is. They are not interested in the problems of the "Indians" simply.

        The article is about the American media, not about me ...

        Near the VO site - they cover it well ... And even the Star sometimes gives such interviews to the military ...

    The author asks a good question. I think the Americans do not believe in our weapons because they are up to such as walking to the moon.

    I read the memoirs of the main saboteur of Nazi Germany Otto Skorzeny. He wrote that if Hitler knew that the USSR had a T-34 tank, then Germany was unlikely to attack in 1941. Of course, I think this would not stop Hitler, but let them be afraid. So now - let them be afraid!
