A hostile military alliance expanding to Russia’s borders isn’t a provocation, sending weapons to be used by CIA-trained fighters backed by US intelligence isn’t a proxy war, those Nazis aren’t Nazis, you’re being censored for your own good, trust the media, the government is your friend.

This is dumb. Like one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on the internet. NATO didn't expand by force. The eastern countries wanted to join NATO and did so willingly because of a history of Russian aggression. All those countries joined NATO because of what Russia had done to them in the past.

they joined because their politicians are compromised by child rape blackmail

There's a reason every NATO nation has a systemic government pedo problem

Yes, I'm sure that's the reason and not, you know, Russia invading and either occupying, either directly or via puppet governments, those countries for half a century.

And of course you have the proof.

It's pretty much self-admitted. Is there a reason I shouldn't trust politicians, MSM and intelligence agencies?

Henry Kissinger and many others warned that there would be a war if the US kept provoking Russia and expanding up to its borders. And now it's happened.

Seriously, you actually listen to the blob when it tells you what happened? Why? You trust them about wars? How about that Libya war? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Shall I continue?

Only people ignorant of Russia's history with it's neighbors think those countries joined NATO because of US aggression.

OK, I'll bite: why did this war happen?

I know already, I'm just curious if you're going to go with "BECUZ MUH PUTIN IS EVULLLL!" which is what's being peddled by the NATO/US establishment.

Given their track record of lying about wars, how are they trustworthy?

Putin's doing the same shit he always does. Feeds Russians living in foreign countries a heavy helping of bullshit propaganda to get them to rebel against the government of the country they're in. He's done it in Georgia, Ukraine, Moldovia, and Estonia so far. Possibly others i'm forgetting.

Why do you think the war happened? Some insane theory about bio-labs?

You didn't actually say why. You just said what.

It sounded a lot like what's coming out of the media establishment. What's their track record for being trustworthy?

Lol. If Putin says it, it must be true.

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

If the US government says it, it must be true.

Elected officials vs a former commie spy and dictator.

[–]rubberbiscuit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

"Elected"

They don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Johnstone has a great gift for stating truths directly and unambiguously.

I agree, but Putin is not my friend.

Sarcasm is nothing but a particularly cowardly form of whining.

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's not sarcasm. It's a reiteration of the establishment propaganda being blared out by the mainstream media.
