Also lol at my comment being reported to mods as propaganda for stating a simple, verifiable fact. Always funny how the dronies think it's "propaganda" just for going against what they want to believe even when their beloved western sources reported on it back before it became no-no to do so. (A NATO No-No, if you will). I'd ask what instance the [redacted] reporter was from, but I guess that might give away exactly who it was.

The Russiagate hoax has a second purpose aside from smearing Trump. It’s to train people that anything anyone says that goes against the imperial core is a “[gepolitical enemy] talking point” and therefore fake news. It’s a “guilty by association” con, much like McCarthyism.
