I have one observation. For about the last two decades, almost every single time our government has had to explain a world event to us, It has been a baldfaced lie.
The US media is 99% compliant in supporting these lies.

Only the existence of the internet, and sites like FR have allowed us to know how much we are lied to.
It is almost the -only- consistent thing about our government.

And now, they are “telling” us what is occurring in Ukraine.

The only sane thing is to understand that the precise opposite is probably true, and that conservatives are being cynically played by appealing to their Cold War service patriotism.

....("The only sane thing is to understand that the precise opposite is probably true, and that conservatives are being cynically played by appealing to their Cold War service patriotism")......

Good observation DesertRhino...and I believe you are correct.

I say this because I was reading that "Patriotism" is now being 'used by the liberals', though they will twist it to their favored agenda.....it's called Deception.

It's very similar to false religions and cults using just enough Christian vocabulary to sound convincing...but it's twisted and only half truths if that. Still enough to 'initiate' the uninformed and those not experienced enough to understand what deception is nor how to identify it.

Unfortunately with the media today, used as a "weapon" and wired to promote agenda's and or control the "thinking" of the citizens, it does work to project what they want.

It's been said everyone can be bought....and they can, be it bribes, threats, or whatever, everyone has a "price" because we are now living in a decadent world where there is no longer 'moral conviction' nor 'integrity' which comes from that.
