Kettle calling pot black(MediaWar): RT demands apology for US Kerry's 'propaganda bullhorn' comment

Click banner for more info

U.S is first in everything and then followed by Russia. These two superpowers are the biggest competitor of the World's exportation of arms and military hardwares. Kerry refuses to acknowledge the West's mind controlling media but rather rushes to calling pot black.

No 1 one the list is U.S and west media want everyone else under their mind controlling media to believe that Russia Invaded Ukraine, Raided and Annex Crimea.

The western propaganda and brainwashing of the population is so widespread and the populace so completely under control that even when presented with concrete undeniable facts that run counter to the official narrative the majority of people still refuse to believe.

This has made it a literal information war when it comes to the situation in Ukraine and even the simple fact that there was never an “invasion” of Ukraine by Russia, something egregiously and erroneously reported by the western media, is almost impossible to counter. Russia has not now or ever “invaded” Ukraine or the Crimea, there has been a contingent of Russian troops supporting the Black Sea Fleet there for decades. That is the simple fact."

"Only the set of people influenced and under the mind control of US/EU think that Russia raided, annexed, invaded crimea. This set of people should be able to know very well from the precedence of US/EU that when they raid, attack, air strike, invade, annex, occupy the results are hundreds of thousands of defenseless civilians and children are killed, the nation devastated and destroyed by massive bombing, millions wounded and displaced with massive refugees fleeing to the neighbor's borders, looting of the wealth and treasury of the nation and many war crimes and atrocities committed. "

This they have done to approximately 22 countries. If western region Ukrainians can do violent protests killing police and destroying govt properties, ask for help and decide to join EU/US is ok, but why the Crimean Ukrainians cannot ask for protection and decide to join the Russian Federation as their nation was invaded with violent protests leading to Coup d'état, provoked, funded and armed by US/EU finally installing an illegal facist interim government? If UN ignores many violation of international laws by US/EU, why they are quick to react to Russia with false charges that they invaded, annex, raided? Is it not clear that they are controlled by US/EU?
