    You don't see how being able to cast blame on us would benefit Russia? You don't see the benefit to them right here in this thread?

    OK then. As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

    And you don't see how the US sabotaging such a pipeline might cause a rift between us and Europe? Wow. You're pushing the boundaries of incredulity here, bud.

    Whatever happened to Seymour Hersh?
    The strange story of how a legendary investigative journalist came to echo Assad's propaganda

    By Steve Bloomfield
    July 17, 2018
    August 2018

    Seymour Hersh’s first big scoop—before the revelations about an American massacre in the Vietnamese village of My Lai started his great award-winning streak—was about the US government’s secret programme to develop chemical and biological weapons. Deducing that the people most likely to talk to him were retired, he read back issues of army newspapers, searching for short stories about retirement parties that would often mention where the general in question was retiring to.

    “I got a list of names and addresses, made some calls, and took off, full of my customary enthusiasm,” Hersh recounts in his new memoir, Reporter. He spent two months on the road, visiting retirees and piecing together an incredible story. What he uncovered was undeniable. There were documents, there was evidence and there were people on the record.

    Hersh worked for the Associated Press and he duly filed 15,000 words split into five parts, hoping to make a splash. An editor put it in a drawer. Eventually, just over 1,000 words was run, complete with a re-written introduction that claimed the Soviet programme was just as bad. Undeterred, Hersh found another outlet and over time, despite the denials from the Pentagon, it became accepted that he’d been right.

    A good, interesting read. He's been in Russia's pocket for a long time. He's done interviews on RT and on Infowars. Such a legend.

    Except you went from being a dupe of the Kremlin to a dupe of Langley. You have no idea how to think for yourself. You just parrot whatever someone else says. A year from now, you will probably be parroting someone else's propaganda.

    Then you must have been in Russia's pocket, too, since you posted RT articles all the time, back before you turned into John McCain Junior.

    How much was the Kremlin paying you?

    No, I went from being like you to reevaluating my views. It's not a question of knowing how to think for oneself so much as being able to discern good information from misinformation and credible sources from non-credible sources.

    You admitted earlier that you engage in confirmation bias when you said that this kooky article told you "what you already know," and you have demonstrated that you struggle to discern facts from opinions and unsubstantiated claims.

    I still remember a long time ago when political forums were semi-intelligent. Now it's just crawling with government mouthpieces and propagandists parroting the latest CIA talking points.

    John McCain was a good man, but I'm not sure why you are comparing me to him.

    I find that they're crawling with opinionated *******s who suffer from Dunning-Kruger and seem to have been failed by the education system.

    So when someone else posts an RT article or does an interview with RT, they're agents of the Kremlin. But when you post articles from RT, there's an entirely different explanation.

    It must be exhausting living in a hall of mirrors.

    John McCain was an unhinged warmonger, like you.

    You're just an apologist for the corrupt political establishment. Your opinion of me doesn't mean a damn thing.

    Wrong on both counts, but you seem to enjoy being wrong about everything.

    McCain was an evil psychopath who agitated for wars based on lies. And you're doing your best impression of him. The only difference is that McCain actually fought in a war, so at least he wasn't a coward. You, on the other hand, will never come close to fighting in any of the wars you support. Instead, you'll just sit on the sidelines and talk crap to people from the safety of your living room.

    Is there anyone who disagrees with the propaganda that you parrot who you wouldn't describe as such?

    Durandal is maliciously and falsely accusing others of being Kremlin agents, with no proof to back his lunatic allegations, even though he used to post RT articles regularly.

    And Durandal objects to Hersh citing an unnamed source, even though Durandal posted a story from CNN that cited unnamed sources.

    His hypocrisy is cosmic in scale.

    John McCain was a vile POS. While innocent people died, he got paid MIC kickbacks. There wasn't a war he didn't like...because he got paid for all of them. May he rot in hell.

    Semi intelligent is when you, with the look of expert in all questions in the world, post some bullshit about things, you have not any knowledge about, and use arguments like "I believe in this because I like authors credentials"? It's not semi intelligent, in fact it's not intelligent at all.
