“They are trying to whip up a frenzy over Ukraine so we won’t be watching the things they are doing to the country.”
You’re absolutely right; this nonsense is a diversion from the destruction of our country and way of life. Americans are (rightly) accused of being ignorant about the world around them (outside of the US), yet they follow these diversions because they are bombarded with sensationalist news about it 24/7.
We have shown we’ve relinquished the role as the world’s policeman; we aren’t going to war with anybody, and posturing by the girlie Muslim foreigner in the White House (who asked Putin for some time, when he’d have more leeway) is laughable.
What would our media be reporting if they didn’t have these sideshows around the globe? Our bustling economy? These stories just replaced the non-story about Chris Christie and some lane closures that were never connected to him to begin with.
Americans are born customers.
“You’re absolutely right; this nonsense is a diversion from the destruction of our country and way of life.”
That would only be true if the Ukraine event was created or caused by the US.
It was not.
But there is a effort to divert attention from Obama’s actions to date, and that is what I read today with Whitehouse staffers spreading a bunch of baloney about impeachment.
Now that, was a diversion.
