As if Washington D.C., the District of Criminals, a.k.a. Mordor on the Potomac, the sodomites in Brussels or their Corporate Media mouthpieces have any more credibility than Moscow.
Why do you keep trying to change the subject, Count?
Actually, the Russian propaganda machine runs circles around ours. Ours are taking notes (ref. another post above).
True. And it seems each side prefers their home grown propaganda to the other guys propaganda.
Our propaganda refuses to admit this “revolution” was anything other than a western funded takedown of an elected government ( like our backing of various Arab Spring stuff ). Its just, like our inability to translate the word “RESET” into Russian, an epic failure. We backed a clown who couldn’t rule and who was out maneuvered by a perfectly predictable outcome.
So the non elected militantly established Ukraine government is supposedly legitimate and the militant response to militant uprising is supposedly an illegitimate response to an “elected government”
Whats particularly amusing to me is hearing people bang on about how bad Russia is for doing precisely what the US has done in many situations in our own hemisphere and in the eastern one too.
Satellite images would show BS and the Ukraine needs to blow a pipeline to send a message to Russia.
That oil is blood to Russia, so bleed Russia out.
Precisely what I was thinking.
Changing the subject or not you are right.
Amen, Count. We are being sold the dumb lie that "Ukraine is all good; Russia is all bad." The enemy of my enemy might still be my enemy. The enemy of my enemy might have a mix of good and bad.
Why can't we just admit that such upheavals MOST OFTEN have a mix of good and bad. We need to be honest about the bad apples and work to get rid of them.
The fact is that 3 high cabinet posts were given to the founder of neo-Nazi party Svoboda and 2 of his cronies. They are national security secretary, defense, deputy prime minister.
