Is it illegal for us to even read about the Russian perspective? Russia’s entire purpose seems to be to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO and positioning missiles so close to major cities in Russia, including Moscow.

The United States had the same issue during the Cuban Missile Crisis: the USSR was positioning missiles much to close to Florida. Kennedy found a peaceful solution, otherwise we would not be alive today.

Why is ZH banned on FR?

ZH has very open rules for commenters, and in the past even more open rules. Their comment threads often have examples of coarse language and vile ant-Semitic or anti- other group ideas.

That alone is probably sufficient to keep direct links to ZH off of FR. But that's just my opinion.

Many on FR have fallen for it.

How about one example to support that rather serious and broad accusation?

Many of us suspected it being a FUD site directed by foreign disinformation specialists.


Who are these ‘many of us’?

Just curious, since you’ve only been here since late 2020.

Thx.

One ?

Go to any Russian thread and it is full of people spewing the Russian propaganda line.

Mostly LiberalTarians licking Putin’s boots.

That is so true. I read some Russian propaganda and started believing NATO is an expansionist aggressor, that Christianity is good, that letting homos adopt kids was bad, that the 2020 election was stolen, etc... the horror.

I intend to stay safe within the ecosphere of outlets deemed safe by the US Government or of course, any of our trustworthy Five Eyes friends! /s

“The Russians are good at it. Many on FR have fallen for it.”

All here but you, no doubt.

Better than licking Nuland, McCain, Graham, Biden, Hillary Soros and Atlantic Council, NATO and EU boots.

Zero Hedge is responding with comedy. This is their lead, and their comments section is always fun.

Well I guess you have not been here long enough to figure that one out on your own.

That’s your answer?

I’ve been here a LOT longer than you, unless you’re a retread.

🤔

Again, who is “many of us”?

Thx.

The best propaganda serves up a smattering of truth, mixed with mostly deception and manipulation.

Meet Ned Price... CIA State Dept. spokesman.

It’s getting to the point, where anyone who critizes this Administration will be accused of working for Russia.

Zeroheges founder’s father worked for Bulgarian intelligence.

Bulgaria has been a member of NATO for almost 20 years.

So? Do you think his father is 20 years old or younger?

Translation: Publish only U.S. state propaganda not any foreign sourced propaganda.

One ?

One is one more than you were able to cite. So much for your argument.

Saying "go to any Russian thread" isn't providing an example. What would a "Russian" thread even be?

You should just admit you don't know of one, which is closer to reality than your opinion.
