Or you could read the article on its own merit. Aaron Mate is an award-winning, respected journalist. What the US has done in both Syria and the Ukraine eerily parallels what they did with the Mujahideen in the 80s in the Soviet Union.

  And what of the facts in the article? You simply will refuse to read it (I’m quite sure you haven’t). It doesn’t fall into your preconfigured narrative pushed by US propaganda/corp-funded journalism does it?

      If you’re fine with not wishing to explore truth and facts and just accept what is spoon-fed to you, then you’re clearly on the right track

        “You presume a great deal, and it misleads you badly.” -> this seems to apply especially well to believing US corp-funded propaganda. Thusly you are confined and constrained to an extremely narrow filter. You seem to be reveling in it all though, so I wish you the best in your mainstream consumption. You have made judgments about people based on slander and deception. Watch a bit of The Jimmy Dore show, and perhaps your eyes will open just a smidge.
