2 important Russo Ukraine war stories: 1 covered 24/7; 1 covered up

It would be so nice for me to think (as a good, genuinely conservative, Christian Westerner and patriotic Australian) , - that this Walt Zlotow story is a pack of lies, (obviously from a paid stooge of Putin)

My problem is: that everything that I see, read, hear, on Australian corporate media and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation - just happens to tally with what he is saying.

Good on Walt Zlotow for having the guts to speak out.

I'm just sorry that I think that he is not going to be believed. The end result? We might find a small group of (?)wealthy individuals presiding over a nearly dead planet.

Mainstream news got the figurative memo from the US State Dept. and military Friday: Full media press coverage of the mini insurrection against Russian President Putin that could potentially have toppled him. But not one word on the apparently failing Ukrainian counteroffensive the US was counting on before even considering negotiations to end the 17 month war.

That coverage simply continues the 487 days of media compliance with US not so subtle demands that the war be reported as Ukraine largely defeating a Russia hopelessly unable to secure control of Donbas and keep NATO off its doorstep.

If the American people were informed on Ukraine's near complete inability to repel the Russian invaders, they might push back against the squandering of over a hundred billion dollars in US treasure on a futile cause not affecting US national security in the least.

If they knew we're sending cluster bombs, prohibited by most countries, that can kill long after the war ends, if ever, they might call for negotiations, not more weapons.

If they knew we're sending long range missiles to strike deep in Russia, possibly triggering nuclear confrontation, they might protest this madness.

But most Americans don't know any of this. Like the apparently failing Ukrainian offensive, only good news, justifying America's ghoulish demand this war goes on endlessly, gets on mainstream news.

If the US had that insane approach to diplomacy and negotiations during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we wouldn't be having this discussion. We'd have all been blown away 61 years ago. more at https://www.antiwar.com/blog/author/walt_zlotow/
