Mi aspetto che ora tutti i berlusconiani chiedano scusa a Julian Assange.
Qui sotto c'è la prova provata che gli Usa, a partire dall'autunno 2009, hanno elaborato una strategia per contrastare la "russo-filia" di Sb, sia a livello politico che mediatico.
Sono ovviamente ancora più incazzato con gli Stati Uniti.

To tackle the problem head-on, Post
has deployed
a robust diplomatic and public affairs strategy targeting key figures
inside and outside government. Our aim is two-fold: educate our
interlocutors more profoundly on Russian activities and thus
the context for U.S. policy, as well as build a counter- weight
of dissenting opinion on Russia policy, especially within
Berlusconi's political party. . Since the beginning of the summer, wit
Berlusconi's return to power and the Georgia crisis,
we have
been engaging with GOI leaders aggressively at all levels.
Pol,
PA and Econoffs have engaged party members, GOI contacts, think
tanks and even press to provide an alternative narrative to the
Berlusconi insistence that Russia is a democratic and stable country
that has been provoked by the West. The effort seems to be paying
off. The opposition has begun taking jabs at Berlusconi by portraying
him as choosing the wrong side of the debate. Some in the PdL have
begun to approach us privately to say that they would like greater
dialogue with us on the Russia issue, and have indicated their
interest in challenging Berlusconi's giddiness about Putin. While we
have a long way to go in changing the narrative, unfortunately, we have
help - in the form of a PM who appears increasingly to be the
mouthpiece of Putin.
