      You’re assuming he has one.

        Well, he certainly is one.

              I was wondering how long it would take.

              For what to take? I'm simply making a statement that when my views closely match the general popular consensus it throws up a red flag and makes me want to step back and take another look for the facts that I am not seeing?

              You can wonder if there's more to the story without being a Russian tool for disinformation...You can also wonder if there's more to the story while still generally supporting Ukraine.

              No one's doing that, though. No one here on this board is wondering whether or not there's more to the story because everyone is already aware of that. There's not a single person here who thinks this situation is simple to understand or that Putin just woke up one day and decided to invade Ukraine.

              And I don't see anyone in the media advocating for World War III so I don't know where you're getting this "mob" talk, either.

              I see it. There is a preponderance of coverage by the MSM on the Ukraine War, with the vast majority of it being sympathetic with the Ukranians. That's okay, I'm sympathetic for their plight.

              What I'm trying to point out, is whether the MSM is following the story because of classic "it bleeds, it leads" or whether the emphasis is there to craft a narrative.

              Because of Russia! Russia! Russia! and the deep-sixing of the Hunter story during the final weeks of the election, I think we all have the right to question the MSM's motives on how and when they report their stories. Maybe in this case, they have a powerful story, but it still can be used like a cat covering up shit, to draw eyeballs away from the Biden Economic Fuckup.

                I just checked Google news. Here are the headlines:

                • Russia-Ukraine War: What Happened Today
                • Ukraine's Zelenskiy presses Israel for missile defence help, fighting rages in Mariupol
                • Russia says it used hypersonic missiles in Ukraine again
                • First Thing: Talks between Russia and Ukraine to resume

                Not a single one of those stories are advocating for World War III. Not one.

                Please love yourself.

                    How it works is, if you make a claim, you have to back it up. I gave you today's news as proof no one was advocating for World War III. You countered with the They Live defense, and without any evidence.

                    And I'd be willing to bet that this conversation could go on for days and you'll still never quote an article and claim it's evidence that they're advocating for WWIII.

                    Until you do, I'm done pretending this is an actual discussion.

                      From what I've seen, the 'bigger picture' is certain people trying to make this about the US media and the USA political landscape in general.

                      This war isn't primarily about American domestic policies.

                      I was only joking

                                  Missing the bigger picture, aren't you?

                                  How it works is, if you make a claim, you have to back it up. I gave you today's news as proof no one was advocating for World War III. You countered with the They Live defense, and without any evidence.

                                  And I'd be willing to bet that this conversation could go on for days and you'll still never quote an article and claim it's evidence that they're advocating for WWIII.

                                  Until you do, I'm done pretending this is an actual discussion.

                                  You can pretend what you wish. Very hard to quote articles for original thought.

                                    Of course, how many of you guppies bought the Russia Hoax or Biden's crap about all the spooks saying Hunter's laptop was Russian misinformation?

                                    Think deeper

                                      Are you suggesting that this war was orchestrated by the Bidens and others in the DNC to have the Ukrainians fight the Russians as US proxies?

                                      If you do, I suggest it is you who ought to dig a little deeper in the information that is out there. This is entirely Putin’s war and he has been preparing for it on and off ever since Viktor Yushchenko’s presidential win in Ukraine’s Orange Revolution and election in December 2004 and January 2005.

                                      May I recommend a concise and highly readable start in your research:

                                        It appears difficult to discuss how the American media covers a story and its motivations for doing so, without being accused of thinking the subject of the story is America. That interpretation of the discussion is a simple misunderstanding, but one from which people for some reason refuse to dislodge.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          Well, if Jolly would make clear what he's actually trying to say, rather than just drop hints about some kind of conspiracy or 'deeper truths', it would be a lot easier to discuss this in a straightforward manner.

                                          As far as I can tell, the motivation behind this war is very easy to understand. There's no need for talk of conspiracies or hidden forces at work.

                                          People should just come out and say what they mean. When people skirt around an issue and drop hints and all the rest of it, I'm left wondering if they're just covering their ass for later so they can say "I never said that!". This is TNCR, nobody important gives a shit what any of us say, after all.

                                          I was only joking
