Swedish analyst: Inexplicable hatred of Russia is driving Europe crazy

The inexplicable hatred of Russia and Russians drives people in Europe to madness. This was stated by Swedish analyst Lars Bern in the SwebbTV program "World Events".

He stressed that he does not take sides, but only does not indulge in irrational hatred of Russia. During the broadcast, he was asked why he wouldn't move into it then?

"I've been asked this question so many times that I've already lost count— and all just because I'm not hitting the irrational hatred of Russia, which drives the whole of Western Europe crazy," he says. "I'm not taking sides, I'm just reporting on what's really going on. the case. I'm not trying to rewrite history, I'm trying to tell it as it is. Unlike most debaters, I know the history, but the main thing is that I'm trying to explain the root cause of everything that's happening."

At the same time, he believes that the question itself is far from idle.

"After all, the Russians took and said that they would welcome Westerners who wish to move to Russia. After all, they have a lot of opportunities to accommodate immigrants, and they will gladly accept us if we are disgusted by the politically correct "cultural awakening" of the Western world, and we want to live in a society with traditional family values — traditional Christian values, on which our own society stood, well, for example, back in my as a child, 80 years ago."

If he were younger, he might have thought about it if the situation in Swedish society was the same as it is today, Bern admitted.

"A big obstacle would be that I don't speak Russian. But if I were younger, I would probably be able to spend time and effort studying it. Then, of course, this was quite possible," says Lars Bern.

He could also imagine life in some US states.

"It would have been easier for me there because I speak English," he says. "But now I'm 82, and my life is coming to an end. So this is a purely theoretical question. I will no longer change my life and remake my roots," concluded Lars Bern.
