    You could try providing high reliability sources that show something in the article is propaganda. Otherwise I think you just don’t like the article for personal reasons. And I really am losing your point about who was accusing who of the crocus attack.

      It is a disingenuous website. Another propaganda website is the Bush Foundation. This is how the Bush Foundation operates: everybody in the world wants freedom and democracy, so we’re going to give it to them with freedom bombs, and everybody will live happily ever after, because they have democracy, and they have freedom. Western think tanks justify US foreign policy. Western think tanks recommended that Ukraine join NATO before the Russian invasion. What for? What does the US want in Ukraine? Democracy? They already had democracy and apparently, in 2014, they didn’t like it. Not to mention, Ukraine is bounded by internationally recognized treaty to be neutral as a prerequisite for independence. The “think tank” thought a great idea to get Ukraine into NATO for the purpose of provoking a Russian invasion. That is exactly the point of this whole exercise. Listen, I read different perspectives, I know phony information and ulterior information; they are fundamentally disinformation, and misinformation. Another thing that might surprise you, democratic states create far more lies than autocracies, because for a democracy to control the people, and not actually represent them, they have to lie. Democratic government produce their own conforming elites who don’t fully represent the people. An autocracy does not need to lie to you, because it can do what it wants. Western news media is a joke. They totally create narratives for the foreign policy establishment. Why? Because they are loyal to their party, of course, but “free market” news media does not need to tell the truth to generate revenue or news.
