If you believe that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked, you will likely compare Putin to Hitler and will likely oppose President Trump’s peace negotiations with Russia. After all, if Putin’s invasion was unprovoked, a settlement would reward naked aggression and would be akin to Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 appeasement…

    i can see now that the examples i pulled from the article implies that the nyt was trying to warn against the conflict; i’ve changed to wording of my comment to explain that they’ve been a mouthpiece for the government and my intention was to support the fact that proof of consent manufacturing has been around since the beginning like time, life, or newsweek magazines doing the same thing during vietnam.

      Nuland was caught picking and choosing who’d be the next leader in Ua and people still say that the maidan was an organic popular movement. I have no hope for our civilisation.

      @eldavi@lemmy.ml No worries — I’ve been studying the situation since the lead up to the Maidan. It was obvious, even then, for a critical thinker to see what was happening in terms of the US supporting the colour revolution openly via the ‘Open Society’ framework and USAid. We have to discard Commercial Main Stream Media for our news.

        Following up on this, I, personally, believe that in the future we the public should insist that every Independent media source disclose it’s funding sources and advertisers, so one can objectively reason.
