    Don't be ridiculous. It was in a book I read (Presidential Ambition) in the entry on Abraham Lincoln.

    I agree. Though I think it's more than just social media. I think it's the ideologification of politics.

    When we were only marginally interested in politics, and mostly only at election time, we were much less susceptible to manipulation.

    Can you not think of a better more diplomatic solution to their perceived problems that Russians were being unjustly attacked by the Azov battalion in Ukraine? Something that didn't involve invading a sovereign Nation and claiming their land is yours now?

    Lol

    They are well understood and that is what makes them angry. Not angry enough to change but angry enough to whine endlessly that people have their B.S. pegged.

    Are you saying that Russia didn't try to annex or steal Ukrainian land?

    If you mean U.S. federal government then I agree. It is not the friend of Americans let alone the rest of the world.

    Even Russians don't know the truth about Russia. The truth is Russia is still stuck in the '60s. Putin thinks he's Joe Stalin.

    Russia can't even put a stable puppet government in Russia.

    A tin dictator is not a stable government.

    Seen or heard of any riots, protests any other civil unrest over there? It has been noted that the Russian people love Putin. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Putin among others helped Russia and its economy bloom and prosper.

    Only from LSM would you get that perspective, that he's a dictator.

    I'm saying we can have no idea what went on behind the very specific 'scene' painted for us by our media.

    To ask why the Western Media would lie, is too gormless a question to take seiously.

    The idea that the West is some bastion of truth is Disneyesque.

    True, Russia never tried to colonize Africa or to genocide Black Africans, Russians colonized European countries and applied genocide only to Circassian people.

    I never said they were. But most people (including the media) actually have reasons to do things.
