NATO official: Russia now an adversary

[Igel]

20. Read the Russian news.

More than enough politicians refer to NATO as evil, trying to undermine Russia, as being a foe. It's been ramping up in the last year, not just since those of Russian citizenship set up shop in Crimea.

It's gotten significantly worse in the last couple of months. Cultural influences, political influences, anything that fails to adhere to a nice combination of Russian ethnicity, language, and culture as being superior, is fascism. Even having Russian no longer taught as much in schools in a neighboring country is proof of fascism.

Russians must be kept pure. Non-Russians are more than welcome to improve themselves and assimilate. Add in the militarism, and the way that the state bullies private corporations to adhere to the party line and you have a very nice description of a prior fascist state.
