Mainstream Media Grudgingly Admits Truth: Ukraine War Is A Disaster
YouTube ^ | May 30 | Ron Paul

Posted on 05/30/2022 10:05:28 AM PDT by RandFan

One by one, the US mainstream media outlets are lining up to (finally) let a bit of truth leak out after three months of incessant propaganda: Ukraine is being destroyed in the war. How many have unnecessarily died because the likes of Boris Johnson and Biden have prohibited a negotiated settlement? Also today, US/EU sanctions on Russia have backfired. Like always. Bonus: What was Ron Paul doing this weekend?

Ron starts the show talking about his attendance at the LP convention in Reno, Nevada.

Ukraine talk starts at [13:40]

Ron on the wars and US foreign policy:

"I literally WEEP when I see the people who have died and injured and still walking around for these wars and then you hear that George W. Bush's heart was never really in it and he's letting the truth out about what his foreign policy was like ... "

ukraine may be winning a battle, but russia is flat out destroying anything that stands, which will make it impossible to rebuild, restart, regrow anything for a generation or so.
this is not something for us to get glued to.

That $40B could have been given to America’s 130,000 schools at the rate of about $300 thousand each. I think that would have bought some security for each.

So many gullible conservatives sided with Biden and ate up nonsense propaganda from the government media. Didn’t they learn from Trump and Russia collusion nonsense? Guess not.

Russia in Afghanistan was genocide. You think Ukraine is any different after what Stalin did? We need to make the Russians bleed like Reagan did with Stinger missiles. Supporting Ukraine: good because they’re europeans?

Putin knows we’re not up to it like Reagan was. The voters didn’t know the difference. The world is more dangerous when the democrats are in charge because our enemies get mixed messages from us and they act. Now I wonder of the timing factor regarding Russian escalation, NATO expansion, and China in Taiwan. Let’s not forget a big unexpected market turndown, a big school shooting, or natural disaster.

Well, I don't know if Russia is winning, but the situation is probably much more perilous for the Ukraine than we've been led to believe. Every time a Russian tank is blown up, every time a Russian officer is killed, we hear about it, but we rarely hear similar stories about Ukrainian losses.

If someone was following this war only through MSM news reports, he would assume that the Russians are being routed, that their situation is hopeless, and that any day they will scurry back to Russia, and it will all be over. If that turns out not to be the case, the media will have a lot of explaining to do.

Too late, eh? And Russia will not forget that wrong-way Biden chose Ukraine. Win or lose, America will suffer for a long time.

Putin should be glad wrong-way didn’t back him.

That is not fair—Ukraine with the help of the Mockingbird mass media is winning the propaganda war.

According to the Davos propaganda squad the heroic Ukraine trans-humans have Moscow encircled while Putin begs for mercy.

The mass media is like all criminals—when they are caught in the scam they scream “I dindu nothing”.

Soon, we will hear these oddly familiar analyses:

“We never claimed that the war would lead to an eradication of the Russian military in the Ukraine, only that it would reduce symptoms of the Russian presence.

We never claimed that the Ukraine military was more than 15% effective.

The sanctions were never intended to collapse the Russian economy, only reduce severe cases of Russian economic development.

The fact that the Russian economy is growing means the sanctions are effective.

We made a small statistical error in calculating Russian losses.

This was a test run, and now we’re prepared for the next Putin.

We had to lie because we didn’t think you could handle the truth.

We’re going to need a booster war with Russia every six months.”
