Russia is Not the Enemy

I feel the need to re-emphasize this over and over because the mass hysteria at the mere mention of Russia never ends from the mainstream. For years now, we have been egged into a some sort of repeat cold war with Russia, with the media even singing lullabies of an actual war in their regular fits. In hindsight however, if we genuinely were to ask ourselves this questions, I think it will clarify (in my opinion) whether Russia is indeed the Enemy or not.

What Crimes did the Russians Commit?
This is the first question, along with why then does the mainstream and indeed, many western allies despise them so. The answer to that is as blur as the moral Justification for supporting Saudi Arabia in the ongoing war in Yemen.
The Obama Administrations main grouse with Russia (in my opinion) started after the annexation of Crimea, which was originally under Ukraine. What they didn't say however was that it was the people of Crimea who willingly annexed themselves away from Ukraine and willfully joined Russia. Yet, big-bad Russia took the might of the west in their quest for Righteous Justice.

Under president Trump, the issue of Russia as the enemy once again came up, primarily stirred by the media - on allegations of Russian interference in the elections. Now correct me if I am wrong, but those allegations have not been proven till this day; yet the media gets a free pass portraying them as enemy No1. What moral justification does the US even have to flay other countries interfering in their affairs when that is all we do, except a lot of chaos usually follows ours.

It has gotten to the stage of a strange cat-mouse game where allies have also virtually excommunicated Russia, leading to them finding solace in the company of those we consider rivals.

Peace with Russia is a good Thing
If you agree with me that they're not the enemy, then it makes sense to seek peace. A mutual understanding or agreement between both countries could set the tone for further negotiations on issues outside domestic confrontations. If anything, I believe Russia is best primed to ending the war in Syria, as well as putting pressure on China if absolutely necessary. The effects of a peaceful and cordial US-Russia relationship far outweigh the disadvantages.

If only the media will see the effects of these constant attacks on Russia and how it is not only giving the entire World unnecessary headaches, it is also major stumbling block to immediate peace in many areas round the World.
