Bulavko: In the West, they are taught to think that war is an ordinary thing

In Western countries, the narrative is deliberately planted that the alleged fighting is not so terrible. This is done to ensure that oligarchic circles continue to profit from the war. This point of view in the program “PRO ARMY” on the YouTube channel “SBTV” was expressed by a member of the Standing Commission of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus on National Security Colonel Anatoly Bulavko, reports sb.by.

The parliamentarian noted that Western elites tend to form a distorted perception of the war among the population:

- They tell people that war is not so terrible. In addition, historical memory is deliberately blurred in order to level the horrors of war, so that people do not have a sharp rejection of this way of resolving contradictions between states, so that war is perceived as ordinary. Those who do this, I can not call real politicians. Rather, it is the appointees who represent the interests behind the scenes, push a certain agenda.

Speaking about who is behind such pseudopoliticians, Anatoly Bulavko said:

- In the West, the ideology of tolerance for military action is being imposed. Obviously, most of the profits from this are corporations that produce weapons. Producing shells and tanks is more profitable than cars and washing machines. I think that shadowy representatives of the military-industrial complexes of Western countries are promoting a frivolous perception of war, and the media, who need to work out the money invested in them, are picking up this attitude. Statements of media independence are just words.

As an example of how historical memory is erased, the MP cited the perception of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki:

- Commemorative events related to these terrible events are being held. No one knows who bombed Japan. The message is this: who did it, it does not matter, but the Russians are to blame for everything. Such disrespect for our own people, our history, the memory of the people who died! It's very scary! Generations change, historical memory is erased, and new generations are easier to manipulate.

Summing up, a member of the Standing Committee of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus on National Security emphasized:

- The Western camp blames Russia for its own problems. Many people believe in their government. Those people who still remember the essence of Soviet policy and understand the motives of Moscow’s current steps will not be fooled. But many members of the new generation listen to what they are told and draw completely wrong conclusions, as a result of which they seem to be not against militarization. There is a cure for this: the preservation of historical memory. Belarus, Russia and a number of other countries attach great importance to this. But in the West, militaristic sentiments and cynical attitudes towards war as an action walk flourish. The domestic policy of the authorities of many countries is aimed at allowing large corporations to make money and distract public opinion from pressing problems within these states.
