FDR and Churchill not only stood next to Stalin, they also sent substantial amounts of material aid to Uncle Joe, the mass murderer, who made WWII possible via the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The problem with the Soviet Union was only partly that it was Communist. The primary issue was Russian imperialism. Russia simply refused to stay within its already massive borders, built over centuries of brutal armed conquests, complete with mass killings, and attempted to forge a global empire via a nifty ideology that provided all the excuses it needed. In order to slow the down the progress of the centuries-old Russian zeal for universal empire, cooperating with a right-wing Ukrainian leader whose body count might add up to the hundreds, if you believe Pravda Russia Today, is small potatoes.
So, FDR and Churchill stood next to Stalin. McCain is two ahead of them.
“cooperating with a right-wing [actually left wing] Ukrainian leader whose body count might add up to the hundreds...is small potatoes”
To that quote I say: Relativism by any other name is still the same.
as to RT (Russia Today): they were the first news outlet in the world to break the news that a U.S. aircraft carrier was heading to off the coast of Syria back when Obama was “considering.” bombing Assad's regime. Slowly, others (even “western” media outlets) followed in their reporting of this.
RT has also been the first to break other news pieces. Don't be so quick to write them off. Sure, verify first, but they are pretty good at digging up stuff that Western media outlets just won't touch. But they also post junk too, so, as I said, verify first. They may be somewhat “Pravda” but not whole cloth.
MSNBC and CNN are America's “Pravda,” and are actually worse than RT.
