In reply to the discussion: Robert Parry: Who’s Telling the ‘Big Lie’ on Ukraine? [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(43,153 posts)We're somehow supposed to believe that Putin's military invasion of Crimea and subsequent annexation of that territory--in blatant violation of prior treaties and international law--had absolutely nothing whatsoever to with the current situation in Ukraine and was merely a byproduct of events completely outside of Moscow's control.
But we're also supposed to believe that a supposed US backed coup that exists merely because Robert Parry said so without any type of corroborating evidence is completely the reason for Ukraine's troubles.
I will say this about Robert Parry--no one begs the question better than he does.
You read his pieces and you get the sense even he doesn't believe the shit he's spewing. He reminds me of those videos you find online about those multi-level marketing schemes where the person pushing the pyramid draws you in by all the accusations that the product is all a scam, and desperately attempts to convince you that it isn't actually a scam. But it never really comes off convincing enough. In the end, it's just snake oil.
