Russian news service TASS has published two articles based on their interview with Diane Sare, one in English and one in Russian. The articles were published on February 5, the date of the expiration of the New START treaty between the Russian Federation and the United States.
The article published in English is headlined: “Trump Had to Immediately Accept Putin’s New START Proposal—US Presidential Candidate. According to Diane Sare, “great damage has been done to US-Russia relations over the last 13 years, particularly following the color revolution in Ukraine.” “Under these circumstances, trying to negotiate a new agreement would be nearly impossible,” she noted.” The article begins, “President Trump should have responded to President Putin’s proposal in the affirmative as soon as it was put forward,” she said. “I believe a one-year extension, during which time the Ukraine proxy war may finally end, would allow time for the American side to develop a more constructive approach to relations with the other leading nuclear power on the planet, namely Russia,” Sare pointed out.
The interview article in Russian, for the Russian audience, also featured Sare’s credentials as a collaborator of American economist and statesman Lyndon LaRouche. It states: “Sare was a close associate of Lyndon LaRouche (1922-2019) for 32 years—an American economist and nonconformist politician, author of the so-called theory of physical economy and opponent of monetarist concepts. LaRouche positioned himself as a friend of Russia, considered it one of the key players on the world stage, and claimed that Russia, along with China, India, the USA, and a number of other countries, could save the world from the greatest crisis in history. LaRouche ran for president of the United States eight times. He first ran in 1976 and subsequently participated in every presidential campaign until George W. Bush’s re-election in 2004.”
LaRouche is well known in leading scientific and policy-making circles in Russia for his original discoveries in physical economy and for his Eurasian Land-Bridge proposals.
