With a number of Western “academics”, “diplomats”, “journalists” and other assorted imperialist lackeys taking the brunt of Russia’s righteous information war since the failed CIA-backed neo-nazi coup in THE Ukraine last year,  many have breathed a sigh of relief to discover that, at least for now, Russians have trained their semantic guns on Backstabistan following Ankara’s genocidal downing of a Russian warplane.

RIYF first turned to Luke Harding, an infamous correspondent for The Guardian, to see just how perceptions for Western shills had changed over the past week.

“Why are you following me?”, Harding told an RIYF correspondent as he quickly gathered pace in London’s Hyde Park.

“I don’t even write about Russia that much any more, go harass Walker,” he said.

Which incidentally, RIYF did.

“After Turkey shot down that Russian SU-24, well, it’s been a new day for me,” Shaun Walker told RIYF while dining in a sleek toilet-themed cafe in Moscow.

“Now when I scroll down to the comments sections on one of my articles, instead of Captain_America_1776 telling me I should ‘shoot myself in face for spreading NATO lie’, now he’s telling Turkey to shoot itself in the face! It’s a nice change of pace, I must admit,” Walker added.

And it’s not just journalists.

John F. Tefft, the US ambassador to Russia, recently told RIYF during an exclusive interview at his residence in Moscow how his fortunes had changed since Turkey had committed the greatest war crime since Hitler.

“When I heard Russian protesters were throwing rocks, eggs and other assorted vegetables at the Turkish embassy for a change, I felt a great sense of relief. I mean, when it is your sole purpose to homosexualize a generation of young Russians in order to carry out a Rainbow Revolution on Red Square, you are going to rightly receive your knocks from time to time,” Tefft said from The Oval Dining Room of Spaso House, which had lasciviously been decorated with modern art pieces assembled entirely from dildos and nipple clamps.

“Sadly, I’ll also likely be asked to raise my gay infiltration game least I be recalled. Though for now, I’ll take comfort in knowing that for the immediate future, images of Wally Walrus will not be projected onto Spaso House at night,” he said.

But George Washington, a 26-year-old employee at SPTF, a social commentary center in Russia’s northern capital, believes any apparent shift in attention towards Turkey does not mean the West is off the hook just yet.

“They think we cannot opening second front against Backstabistani Islamo-fascists while still very much of battle Washington and it’s Gayropa proxies, Washington said. “My grandfather defeated the Nazis! You think I can’t troll f*** out of Shaun Walker and Erdogan at same time? The West has one again underestimated Russia!”

Meanwhile, Russia is set to implement a visa-free travel regime with Backstabistan from 1 January along with a slew of targeted sanctions which will bring Ankara to its knees for its latest provocation.

“Nobody has the right to traitorously shoot down a Russian plane from behind,” Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s “News on Saturday” TV program.

“If anyone is going to f*** someone from behind, it is Russia that will do the f***ing,” he added.
