Just pinned this down........
When I read news and commentary from earlier eras, I always notice OBJECTIVITY.
In the middle of WW2 our own propagandists were strongly pro-US, but simultaneously recognized and stated that both sides were issuing propaganda.
This 1966 editorial in the trade mag Electronics shows a similar ability to stand back from partisan rigidity. Vietnam was heating up and proxy wars in Africa were going strong, but the writer was able to see the separate interests of individual countries on the Soviet side.
Orwell and Huxley hit the same point repeatedly. The inner party and Alphas had to know and see facts on both sides, needed some degree of empathy, IN ORDER TO RULE FIRMLY AND LASTINGLY.
Rulers MUST have the consent of their own people. In order to rule with consent, you must understand the people OBJECTIVELY.
OBJECTIVE understanding is extinct in EU/US/UK. Our leaders on all "sides" share the same set of unprecedentedly weird delusions that blind them to all aspects of reality.
Putin is winning because he's OBJECTIVE. He knows what his people need and want, and he knows how to satisfy them. Those concepts are utterly alien to our leaders. They only know the incoherent grakbjrtnax of the screechy voices in their own extraterrestrial cranial organs.
