Looking at who benefits from evil

Many/most of those supposed Russian atrocities that the media constantly repeats, were likely staged by Ukrainians to evoke fierce disgust and hatred of Russia and boundless sympathy and gifts of weapons for Ukraine. Most evil is done by those who will benefit from the evil.

In wording taken from georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov Crafting Tragedy, but substituting Ukraine for Iraq, “Ukraine is almost certain to lay a trap for the world’s media. It apparently believes that dead Ukrainian civilians are its most powerful weapon in trying to create revulsion …The Ukrainians quickly realized that placing military assets — including tanks, missiles, and commandand-control facilities — close to civilians and civilian infrastructure could yield substantial benefits.”

The insanely massive propaganda blitz of Hate Putin/ Russia Hysteria has worked. Most Americans are happy to trade a livable future for the satisfaction of a war with Russia.

Propaganda can be very effective. Did you believe those CIA lies of Iraqi WMD?

The US illegal, unprovoked invasion of Iraq was responsible for nearly a million Iraqi deaths. The US was responsible for hundreds of thousands more deaths in its regime change actions in Libya and Syria. And the US is complicit in the 20 million close to starving in Yemen.

If Putin is a butcher, what are GW Bush and Obama?

Read Putin’s speeches, http://en.kremlin.ru/events/ president/news/68366

Without the media’s negative spin Putin comes across as being smart, rational and a strong believer in international law, law that needs to be applied equally, to the US as well as all other countries.
