“This penetrating study asks whether the actual evidence concerning alleged Russian interference in the US elections of 2016 justifies the enormous hue and cry it has elicited … A highly instructive inquiry into our current malaise.“
-Noam Chomsky
Cold War, Hot Wardescribed as “the biggest scandal in American history.”
Russiagate reporting is a densely populated field. But, unlike other accounts, this book sidesteps the inflammatory speculation shared by Democrat and Republican talking points. Instead, Mate raises two questions that no major work has previously addressed: Do the facts about Russiagate match what we have been led to believe? And, if not, why has it become one of the biggest news stories of recent years?
Russiagate, Mate argues, is not a genuine “scandal” based on the merits, but a kind ofPrivilege Protection Racket: a product of the interests-and entrenched dysfunctions- of those in power. This is not some reverse conspiracy theory of “Deep State” subterfuge. Cold War, Hot Warbrilliantly exposes the way the Russiagate phenomenon reflects the common elite interests of both liberals and conservative. In short, Russiagate is a pathology of the privileged.
