A US government body held a Congressional briefing plotting ways to break up Russia as a country, in the name of supposed \u201cdecolonization.\u201d<\/p>\n
The participants urged the United States to give more support to separatist movements inside Russia and in the diaspora.<\/p>\n
They proposed the independence of numerous republics in the Russian Federation, including Chechnya, Tatarstan, and Dagestan, as well as historic areas that existed centuries ago such as Circassia.<\/p>\n
This is far from the first time that hawks in Washington have fantasized about carving up foreign countries. During the first cold war, the US sponsored secessionist groups\u00a0inside the Soviet Union. In the 1990s, the US-led NATO military cartel successfully\u00a0dismantled Yugoslavia. And Washington has long backed separatists in the Chinese regions of Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.<\/p>\n
