He was born in a well-to-do family in 1960 and grew up in an exclusive area of Dallas called Highland Park. Russell's worldview began to emerge during his teenage years as a result of the Vietnam War and its after-effects. He became an ardent anti-imperialist and anti-racist, seeing Washington's overseas military adventures as an abuse of the sovereign rights of other countries.
When Obama officials and US lawmakers flocked to Ukraine amid the Euromaidan unrest in 2013, Russell had no illusions about their true goals: "When the Maidan started and Victoria Nuland handing out cookies and John McCain and all that, and I knew what the deal was, I knew exactly what was going on," Bentley told Sputnik in April 2022, referring to a string of US overseas invasions and regime changes fomented by American policy-makers.

Biden rushes aid to Ukraine as US cost of living skyrockets
American households in 2024 are spending an extra $11,434 annually to maintain a similar standard of living to the one they enjoyed just three years ago, according to a new study by Republican members of the US Senate Joint Economic Committee. Geopolitical consultant David Oualaalou pointed to the troubling data during an appearance on Sputnik's The Critical Hour program, questioning the US president's focus on foreign policy amidst a grim economic outlook for millions of Americans.
"The fact that [the US] keeps sending more money to Ukraine [and]
it's already a failed state, what is it for
?" asked the former US security analyst. "We have been taking money out of average Americans that are paying taxes... and giving it to the corrupted government in Ukraine."
"I saw those images of the incompetent members of Congress waving the Ukrainian flag inside Congress. Well to me it became like, why don't you go and represent Ukraine? Shame on our politicians. But, again, until the structure of our system has changed, nothing is going to change fundamentally."
Former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower famously warned Americans about the emergent US military-industrial complex in 1961. What's less well known is that an earlier draft of his speech referred to a "military-industrial-congressional complex." Eisenhower reconsidered the term out of fear of offending Washington lawmakers, but the designation makes clear legislators' key role in what the decorated military general considered a corrupt and dangerous phenomenon.
Military contractors make up one of the largest political lobbies in Washington; recently, a study found lawmakers who voted to pass the National Defense Authorization Act received four to five times more in donations from the defense industry than those who did not.
