Beware of Russian Propoganda

Russia offers alternate takes to what brought down MH17 - CNN.com

Yes, there could be agents on USMB. Putin is desperate and is pulling out all stops on this one.

Propaganda is nothing new in world politics. Since the beginning of time, everyone has put their spin on the events of the day.

But the word from Washington about Russia's take? Take any information coming out of Moscow "with a very large grain of salt."

Russians are asking for forgiveness, their little guy is back tracking so fast, his shiny head is a whirl:

I doubt Putin will even take responsibility. He will lie and fabricate and deflect until there is a 1% chance that the rebels did not shoot the middle that brought the plane down. That is all he wants. The peasants in eastern Ukraine have been given scripts to say they saw no anti-aircraft missiles. Putin is scum.....

i wonder what he would do if all the evidence pointed to him?.....

He already caved in & says HE will put pressure on the separatists, so maybe he's lying.....as his current country has been around for 20+ vs. the Netherlands at hundreds of years, who will other European countries side with?

The news is coming fast and furious, the Dutch are going from angry to livid:

Expect pressure by the Dutch on France, Italy and other slow to condemn nations soon. That is why the EU may meet again this week.

Speaking of Russian propaganda, this morning I watched an extraordinary clash between CNN's Chris Cuomo and Russia Today's Peter Lavelle.

Talk about carrying Putin's water, let's just say the RT host obviously knows where his paycheck comes from.

As soon as the video shows up online I'll get it posted.

The evidence points to, they didn't know it was a passenger craft.
