If it weren’t for Russia, who would we blame for everything?

If it weren't for Russia's actions, we wouldn't have to blame other countries for the things that we are blaming Russia for.

You act as if your country hasn't brought on the complaints about them through your country's own actions. Your country needs to take responsibility for its actions.

Disinformation means control of information by the state. People are not so stupid to believe rubbish. Well...

Interesting that it was the Roman Catholic Church that first used the word propaganda, though the notion is probably as old as the earliest political organizations. Every country and just about every business relies on some sort of propaganda. 

The Nazis and the Soviets were both masters of propaganda and ‘disinformation’. (Look up ‘whataboutery’, ‘personality cult’, among other Soviet propaganda techniques.) 

Given Putin was a Soviet functionary and a member of the KGB, it should come as no surprise that during his regime Russia is and has been so actively involved in propaganda and ‘orchestrated disinformation campaigns’. 

What should be worrying is how many ‘western’ rightists, evangelicals and others so easily buy the Russian messages. Pizzagate? No fly zone in Syria starting WW3? A free and for profit media is out to get you?

Well, well, look who is talking! "Orchestrated' disinformation campaign"? Yes, I remember very vividly some. "Saddam has nukes", "our bombs bring democracy to Libya", "the West did not stage the coup in Ukraine", "Putin shot down the Malaysian plane", "Assad used chemical weapons". The biggest lying machine in the world should look at a mirrow.

Well the globalist EU puppets have sanctioned Russia over US cookies and coup in Ukraine. What did they expect? A Christmas card? Pathetic globalists!

France was banning Christmas symbols, Denmark was using unwanted family pets to feed carnivores in zoos and Sweden was introducing a law requiring written consent before sex.

OH MY GAAWD! The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

I swear, anyone buying into this crap has got to be thick as brick.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
