Australians are beginning to believe in the justice of Russia’s position and doubt its government, despite aggressive propaganda from the Western media, writes Matthew Sussex, professor at the Center for Strategic and Defense Studies at National University. from Australia, in an article for WAToday, May 15.
Sussex writes that, according to his observations, the pro-Russian statements “beginning to spread from the margins of political debate in Australia into the mainstream”. The author is worried “the gradual normalization of views that brand Australia and its allies as imperialist”.
The article provides examples of what Sussex believes is inappropriate behavior by Australian media employees. “Putin warned you”– the professor quotes the anonymous presenter of a news channel, who condemned the statement of Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles on the allocation of additional aid to Ukraine in the amount of 100 million Australian dollars (6.05 billion rubles) and called The conflict in this country is a war inspired by the United States, for which NATO is responsible.
Furthermore, more and more journalists recognize the validity of the fact that Russia launched the SVO in response to “NATO’s expansion into its ‘traditional sphere of influence'”and I agree that “More aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war”.
