The New York Times joins Politico’s fearful voice about Macron’s visit to China.
See this: French Diplomacy Undercuts U.S.
Using the word “undercutting” reveals a sense of betrayal. The New York Times (like Politico) expresses a Neocon paranoia that the US is being “betrayed”. For a long time, the US has seen Germany as a “traitor” – wanting to invest in China, buying gas from Russia, hesitating to cannibalize the German army by holding back their few heavy tanks from being destroyed in Ukraine.
Now, the object of US fears is France too. The desperation of the New York Times proves, that Politico’s panic over Macron’s visit to China (see earlier today, below) is not an isolated frightful mental state in US policy circles. Fear and sense of betrayal are widespread in the US.
Politico and NYT both reveal unconscious fear among Neocons and the US deep state.
The more US media, pundits, and politicians (incl. Biden, Blinken, Sullivan) speak about the “indispensability” of the US, about the “global leadership” of the US, and about the “strength” of the US, and the “weaknesses” of others (like Russia) – the more we start to understand, that these bloated words are simply psychological defenses invented to cover deep US fears. The constant stream of big US lies is a kind of US mental “self-medication”, a psychological pattern called “magical thinking” is at work in the US, that if the Americans continue to lie that “Russia is losing in Ukraine” and “the US is strongest”, then just by saying this, they believe this will make it come true. But it cannot control their fears, because as the New York Times and Politico unwittingly reveal, deep inside, the US Neocons know that the World is going in the opposite direction of their words and lies.
One of the strongest mental mechanisms of unconscious fear is the psychological phenomenon of projection. Pojection is when somebody transfers (projects) their inner psychological state and motivations onto others – it can be onto partners (spouses, ex-lovers) or just onto others who just happen to be there or have an appearance triggering the mechanism of their inner psychological complex. It is now obvious that Russia’s President Putin is the target of US psychological projections. When US media, pundits, and politicians without any basis in facts claim that “Putin is isolated”, that “Putin is fearful” – they unconsciously speak about themselves. This also reminds us, that the clearly unlimited Neocon ambitions for unrestricted US power and domination in the World are unrealistic and therefore reflect unrestrained unconscious desires within the US élite.
Not facts or rational goals or insights – but magical thinking, angst, unrestrained unconscious desires, and frightful mental projections steer the nuclear power USA.
