we are being lied to. Some are incredibly sad to watch. Families that have been killed by the new Kiev government.

I would ask "Who are the victims?" Once you figure that out the rest all falls away.

5. Walking Around the Same Area

I guess this video proves he is right, but it seems to me that he is walking around the same area. How do we know that other areas of Donetsk are not as the newspaper claimed? Any American soldier could have made a similar video during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. There were the green zones where things were fairly secure. Anyone in those areas had the ability to walk around freely without fear of being hurt. Any soldier could have made a video saying the media was misleading the American people. The soldier could have walked around the green zone claiming there were no bombs going off and anyone could walk outside and not feel scared.

In addition, I believe John McCain went to Iraq, during President Bush's time in office, and recorded video of himself walking through the streets of Iraq. He used the video to claim things were going better in Iraq than the media was saying. The only thing wrong with the situation was that McCain failed to mention that he had a small army with him when he went on his walk around Iraq.

Didn't realize he was a celebrity, they seem grateful for his coverage of the invasion.

The USA today article is made possible with the repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act.

If you want to listen to the full effect of American lies and propaganda regarding Russia and Ukraine listen, if you are able, to NPR. I certainly can no longer listen to NPR as their propaganda in service of the State Department is truly despicable.
