    Thanks for your opinion.
    Worthless and groundless though it is.

    Who is this cyclist who suddenly has appeared? What shadow?

    You have the full range of opinions in American media - you won't find it in one publication, but in the whole gamut.
    This can't happen in a nation like China, and increasingly - Russia.
    How some Russian parents and wives found out about their sons in Ukraine was by Ukrainians calling them on their cell phones.

    Once again, you don't have to make an excuse. Everything is clear to everyone.

    This is what the Western media is telling you. But they also talked about Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons. If you want to know the reality, read RT

    I'll bet not even RT thinks people in prison for abuse, fraud , robbery or armed conflict means the country is a fascist state.
    They would lose what little credibility they had.

    Some media outlets did challenge Bush's allegation about WMD's. But they were wrong because Iraq did have them, and used them on the Kurds and Iranians.

    On October 6, 2004, an organization called the Iraq Survey Group, created by countries - members of the anti-Iraq coalition, officially announced that Saddam Hussein did not have chemical weapons.

    I very much doubt they will.
    Their concern is respect for black people, not political ideology.
    They are not your allies.
    I have serious doubts about whether you know what fascism is at all. The USA cannot become à fascists state unless the Constitution and Bill of Rights are suspended. And it is the right wing who naturally trend to fascism who are most defensive of both.

    Just to refresh your memory,

    Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology, philosophy and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy[2][3] that rose to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4][

    Perhaps you would like to enumerate how the USA in général conforms to this définition?

    It was never established as to whether he DID have them and hid them.

    There are many definitions of the concept of fascism. (And the fascists have a definition of the concept of fascism. They enthusiastically perceive their definition.)
    Dimitrov's definition is considered the most famous, the most realistic and complete - "fascism is an open terrorist dictatorship of the most reactionary, most chauvinistic, most imperialist elements of financial capital."
    Pay attention - the power is not a personal leader, but the power of "financial capital". In other words, corporate power. Which put the candidate who suits them for the presidency. (Do not forget in whose hands are all the media, TV, film companies and news publications - everything that forms public opinion)
    And according to this definition - in the US 100% fascism.

    The second part of your definition is yours.
    A desperate attempt to find something to use.
    Corporate power cannot be fascist . Fascism revolves around a single leader. That is impossible in the global economy and international shareholdings that exists today. Compétition rules forbid any single company from eradicating all others.
    You'll be telling me about the Bilderberg group soon...
    So far you have failed to support your accusation of fascist USA. The structure of democratic states freedom of speech and expression and the global economy dispel any chance.
    No matter how much you or anyone else invents new definitions.

    I don't care about some propaganda vid you watched. The GPD (the economy) of Russia is shrinking while the economy of the world is growing.

    IMF expects Russia's GDP to fall 6% in 2022, 3.5% in 2023; forecasts global GDP growth of 3.2%, 2.9%

    GREENS WANT YOU TO BE COLD, MISERABLE, AND FEW IN NUMBER: Google Searches For ‘Firewood’ In Germany Have Exploded. “Bloomberg’s Javier Blas shows in his “chart of the day”, that google searches for firewood (‘Brennholz’) have exploded in the past couple of months now that electricity is no longer a staple, but a luxury few can afford.”

    huh? A country needs to apply to the EU and comply to their rules first in order to get in.

    It is called democracy anywhere where à group of people decide on a course of action voted for by the greatest number of people in the group.
    Now you don't like democracy?

    This incident was not about fuel. It was taken at the G7 meeting 9 june 2018 in Quebec Canada .
    It was concerning fears of Trump wanting Russia back in the G7 after his ousting in 2014 for invading Crimea

    Rt is like CNN. But the moment you refuse to allow opposing thoughts or opinions in your country, your "truth" is garbage.

    RT had been broadcasting for years in the UK but it was the clear and evident liés that finally closed it down

    Freedom of speech is one thing but overt lying is not acceptable. It is still available elsewhere.

    Fake News.

    Trump scolded Germany for buying gas from Russia. Here's what we know
    "Trump was referring to the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline that is being built under the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. Gazprom, Russia's natural gas producer, is building it alongside an ..."

    He was absolutely right.
