Russia and Putin, the Nonexistent Threat. Who is the Aggressor; the US or Russia?
"Russia is fast becoming our latest bogyman with neocons, war hawks,
and a complicit corporate media, all beating the preliminary war drums,
rapidly convincing a duped public that the Russian threat is real. The
record shows the Russian threat is nonsense, but the record also shows
there is a threat, not from Russia, but from the US.
...
The US orchestrated a coup of a democratically elected leader of the
Ukraine and installed a US puppet, but blamed the next door neighbor
Russia for the troubles in the Ukraine. We also inflamed the US public
by accusing Russia of expanding by taking the Crimea by force, even
though 99% of Crimeans wanted to belong to Russia, and this was achieved
not by invasion, and not one single death in the Crimea. Corporate
media convinced the US public that Russia had invaded militarily, and
taken over the Crimea. Not so; there was no invasion and not one person
died in a popular turn to Russia by the people of Crimea.
...
So who is the aggressor nation? How many nations has Russia bombed in
the past 25 years? How many nations has the US bombed in the past 25
years? Russia has 2 military bases outside its borders, while the US has
over 700. So which nation is the most aggressive? The US has killed
approximately 4-5 million people since 1963. How many innocents has
Russia killed during that time? The annual US military budget is 10
times higher than Russia’s, so who is the aggressor nation? There are US
Special Forces operating in 81 foreign nations. Special Forces budget
has increased fivefold since 2001 and their numbers have doubled. So
who is the aggressor nation? The US is planning to deploy nuclear
weapons to Germany, and since 1776 the US has been at war for 93% of its
history. The US with its bombings of 14 nations in the Middle East, has
unleashed one of the biggest refugee crises in human history as people
flee from US bombs and destruction. So who is the aggressor; the US or
Russia? Pay no attention to corporate media, get your own facts.
