Thank you for your comments.

When Trump was President, the news would step by step twist what he said to suit their agenda. When that happened conservatives called them out for it. It it is wrong when the left does it and its wrong when our side does it.

One part of the conservative commentary has a tendency to twist history badly to suit a immediate political situation. Most of those are not really conservatives, just pandering to the right which makes it easy for the left to use what they say to attack us. A more distasteful example of this was when McCain sent the Steele dossier to the FBI (who already knew about it), there were those who responded by blaming him for the 1967 USS Forestal Fire, which was despicable.

Besides agent provocateur our side has its own share of idiots who discredits us pretty well at times. The left does the same twisting of narrative. Except they control the majority of the mass media, are much better at it. Conservatives are third rate at this.

So I posted this to challenge the nonsense coming from the isolationist/ nationalist/ head in sand side of the right.

To be fair, Bennet DOES say "The West" wanted to "strike" Putin some more (ostensibly in Bennet's view to deter future aggression), with the UK's Johnson being the most hawkish viewpoint.

Haha - yeah, like the poster claiming Russian space technology was equal to ours, when SpaceX has just safely landed its 100th consecutive booster for re-use...

Is there a transcript somewhere? Trying to scroll through a 5 hour interview to re-find specific points is, well, tedious...
