If people believe that from whatever source, I cannot speak for them. I personally wouldn’t believe anything coming from ABC, NBC, or the NYT, never mind CNN, and some obscure “Russian Tabloid” might be on another planet for all I care. I don’t believe ANY media ANYWHERE. None. I may have to parse it to find a grain of truth the same way Soviet citizens used to parse the excrement from Pravda to obtain a husk of truth, but that is my business, since it is my time.
That said, whether I believe it coming from a Russian news source is one thing, and I don’t, because I don’t care where it came from.
Whether I think Zelensky and the entire Ukrainian government are corrupt pieces of New World Order crap, and are happy to take our money meant for munitions or other things and stick it in their bank accounts or sell the things we give them for money is quite another thing.
And I believe those scum running Ukraine, being all in bed with Soros and the Dems, and modeling themselves after the likes of Trudeau in Canada (who is quite the fan of Soros and those a-holes who mean our country ill and wish to destroy it) are FULLY CAPABLE of that level of corruptness. And I have plenty of “real news” commentary, footage, and imagery showing fully that I am right on target with the likes of Zelensky and Trudeau, not to mention the Democrat Party.
After all they are in such an existential fight for survival that they have to take the time to announce to the world they are going to legalize homosexual marriage. Yes, those are the people I want to send 40 Billion USD to, with zero oversight and no strings attached.
And by the way-just to be clear-if you detected a degree of anger and pithiness in my response to you, it was not directed at your observation.
Anyone who is not cognizant of the essence of your post needs to be reminded.
My anger is directed at this situation in both Russia and Ukraine, and for a variety of reasons, all leading back to this country and how we are conducting ourselves.
I am filled on a daily basis with a great deal of anger, and I work hard to put things in proper context and think them through. I don’t always succeed wholly, but it is not for lack of effort.
