Lol gonna save this for later. Turns out the tankies were right, once again!
The failed presidential candidate and Republican politician John McCain was literally on the ground in Ukraine rallying supporters for the coup. It was extremely obvious. The there was also the Nuland “fuck the EU” leaked phone call.
Imagine if some senior Chinese politician showed up in Mexico and started rallying supporters for an anti-USA coup. US citizens, liberals, conservatives, would lose their minds. Yet they do that in Ukraine, and it’s fine. Biggest hypocrites on earth.
But have you considered that when the west does this stuff it’s good and wholesome because it’s done in the name of freedom and democracy.
You mean to tell me that I just had a whole nother lemmy.ml MB/FC struggle session with some lib over the Grayzone’s coverage of the coup, while The Paper of Record was admitting it?
This is why I’ve started hunting out mainstream sources for everything. Any time you present anything that’s not mediabias approved, they just derail the whole discussion making it about the source. Luckly, mainstream media does have a lot of the same information, just takes them a bit longer to get there and you have to do more hinting up front.
Although, as you’ve seen recently, you can give them a mainstream western source and they’ll still call it Russian propaganda if it disagrees with them.
how in gods fucking name did they just say it out loud what the fuck
I mean…did you read the article? It glosses over the western involvement in the coup and goes on to paint everything with the usual “le ebil Russkies” brush. Warriors of light from CIA are just helping a sOvErEiGn NaTiOn to defend itself from the Horde and the pre-Euromaidan government was OBVIOUSLY pro-Kremlin anyway. It’s the kind of bullshit their audience eats up and begs for more.
I’m as baffled as you are, it just lays it all out so openly. I honestly don’t understand why they printed this.
Honestly kinda wild to see admitted so blatantly
