It also exists to demoralize those who know better and see through it.
Article after article on Sanctions, but almost no mention of the Russia-China gas and oil trade or that China happily sells anything and everything to Russia.
I spent years trying reading the "news" wondering to myself "well, they can't be INTENTIONALLY lying, otherwise they'd lose their entire readership" - only to realize I was their readership. Our news media is propaganda, and it's trolling propaganda. Go read the comments to this video:

Ah, if I remove that mc_cid from the url, it loads. Not sure what that was about. Here's the text of it just in case:
http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2022/february/28/it-all-comes-back-to-nato/
When the Bush Administration announced in 2008 that Ukraine and Georgia would be eligible for NATO membership, I knew it was a terrible idea. Nearly two decades after the end of both the Warsaw Pact and the Cold War, expanding NATO made no sense. NATO itself made no sense.
Explaining my “no” vote on a bill to endorse the expansion, I said at the time:
NATO is an organization whose purpose ended with the end of its Warsaw Pact adversary… This current round of NATO expansion is a political reward to governments in Georgia and Ukraine that came to power as a result of US-supported revolutions, the so-called Orange Revolution and Rose Revolution.
Providing US military guarantees to Ukraine and Georgia can only further strain our military. This NATO expansion may well involve the US military in conflicts unrelated to our national interest…
Unfortunately, as we have seen this past week, my fears have come true. One does not need to approve of Russia’s military actions to analyze its stated motivation: NATO membership for Ukraine was a red line it was not willing to see crossed. As we find ourselves at risk of a terrible escalation, we should remind ourselves that it didn’t have to happen this way. There was no advantage to the United States to expand and threaten to expand NATO to Russia’s doorstep. There is no way to argue that we are any safer for it.
NATO itself was a huge mistake.
When in 1949 the US Senate initially voted on the NATO treaty, Sen. Roberg Taft – known as “Mr. Republican” – gave an excellent speech on why he voted against creating NATO.
Explaining his “no” vote, Taft said:
… the treaty is a part of a much larger program by which we arm all these nations against Russia… A joint military program has already been made… It thus becomes an offensive and defensive military alliance against Russia. I believe our foreign policy should be aimed primarily at security and peace, and I believe such an alliance is more likely to produce war than peace.
Taft continued:
If we undertake to arm all the nations around Russia…and Russia sees itself ringed about gradually by so-called defensive arms from Norway and Denmark to Turkey and Greece, it may form a different opinion. It may decide that the arming of western Europe, regardless of its present purpose, looks to an attack upon Russia. Its view may be unreasonable, and I think it is. But from the Russian standpoint it may not seem unreasonable. They may well decide that if war is the certain result, that war might better occur now rather than after the arming of Europe is completed…
How right he was.
NATO went off the rails long before 2008, however. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949 and by the start of the Korean War just over a year later, NATO was very much involved in the military operation of the war in Asia, not Europe!
NATO's purpose was stated to "guarantee the safety and freedom of its members by political and military means." It is a job not well done!
I believe as strongly today as I did back in my 2008 House Floor speech that, “NATO should be disbanded, not expanded.” In the meantime, expansion should be off the table. The risks do not outweigh the benefits!

Russia had perfectly good relations with most NATO countries. Ukraine and Georgia never issued any claims to any Russian territory. Russia also never filed any official territorial disputes with Ukraine or Georgia and has signed many treaties confirming the same over the years in the 90s and early 80s How the fuck one goes from zero claims to "we want a half of your country" in a blink of an eye? Unless they never intended to settle anything legally and diplomatically and were just lying in wait for an opportunity to present itself, that is.

I've asked this question before but never got a cogent answer, so I'll ask it again: which political party in any European country was ever in the last 20 running on a platform of waging an aggressive war against Russia, let alone winning a significant majority? Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Hungary, Baltic states? I don't think so.
Moreover, Germany let its military go to complete shit, Netherlands got rid of all their tanks, and most of the NATO countries weren't spending nearly enough to cover their meager 2% obligations.
So I don't think it's Europe. Who's left? US? Who ran on attacking Russia? Bush senior, with his famous "Chicken Kiev" speech urging Ukraine to stay in the USSR? Clinton who started the process of stripping Russia's neighbors of all strategic weaponry?
Bush junior, who "looked into Putin's eyes and seen his beautiful soul", did nothing to react to invasion of Georgia invasion, etc.?
Obama, who started "reset", removed last remaining of Uranium and Plutonium from Ukraine, removed most of missile defense from Europe and generally presided over decline of NATO? Obama who pretended he didn't see new Rusdian ICBM and cruise missiles violating INF Treaty being deployed in Europe?
Trump who ran on the platform of having good relationships with Russia and reducing any foreign involvement?
All of the above, who collectively reduced US troops in Europe ftom 500K to less than 1/10 of that?
Why the fuck somebody who is plotting to attack somebody else would reduce their own capabilities, reduce the number of troops and equipment, disarm their own potential allies, pretend not to see jow their adversary violates treaties in order to improve their attack capabilities, etc.?
Everything I listed above are clear and verifyable facts proving the exact opposite of the assertion that "NATO was aggressive towards Russia". If anything NATO was a fucking shrinking violet wrt anything Russia-related. And it made itself highly economically dependable on Russia which is again an exact opposite if what somebody planning an attack does.

Jesus Christ on a Stick, we just had 5 years of "Russia hacked our election" - what do you think all the PROPAGANDA was about?
The West has been vilifying and attacking Russia for 20 fucking years now.

Changing topic much? The number of US troops in Europe is a known entity. Prove the total is still at 500K it was in the early 90s. You can't. Why? Because it's fucking reported as agreed in Helskinki in 1975. So if the number of US troops were not what we are saying it is Russia would point it out. But they never did.

No. I don't believe the claim, and I'm posting a reason I don't believe the claim.
Western news media was infiltrated by Operation Mockingbird 45 years ago. That was revealed in the Church Committee. Any claim made by our government or it's propaganda arm, the "free press" should be questioned.
We are ALL victims of propaganda to varying degrees. The difference between propaganda and the truth, is that the truth is entirely consistent, lies RARELY are.

Changing topic much?
No. I don't believe the claim, and I'm posting a reason I don't believe the claim.
Western news media was infiltrated by Operation Mockingbird 45 years ago. That was revealed in the Church Committee. Any claim made by our government or it's propaganda arm, the "free press" should be questioned.
We are ALL victims of propaganda to varying degrees. The difference between propaganda and the truth, is that the truth is entirely consistent, lies RARELY are.

Dude, two of those bases aren't closed.
I can believe some bases were closed back in the 1990's, and I remember the whining and moaning about that after the USSR dissolved.
But Bush Jr. reversed that. A fake war on terror was created, and the US made policy of poking the bear, because the Cold War was EXTREMELY lucrative for the offense corporations.
Eric Holder says
There's no room. There's the Red Communist Russians under my bed..
I'm fully aware that I cannot know what is going on in real time, and that my government will lie to my FACE. It's only going to be months later after the propaganda is no longer worthwhile to maintain we'll know what happened.
I find it extremely unlikely that this is the opening stage for WWIII. That would just be a nuclear exchange. Despite what this propagandist stated, several years ago:

Just fucking hilarious. This is the shit propaganda our government pays for us, and idiots take seriously. We just went through "it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated" and "it's going to be a winter of death". I cannot take my government's claims seriously, and it's just not worth my time to sort through the bullshit.
At this point, it only matters what agreements are made between the Ukrainian government and the Russian government. It's going to be months, if not years, before we find out what happened. I fully expect to see fully bombed out cities and apartment complexes, but I also expect them to be pictures from Pripyat and, I dunno, Syria. They don't care about being even believable at this point.

News from Russian side of conflict, by Chechens:
https://www.kavkazcenter.com/russ/content/2022/03/01/120533/razgrom-kadyrovskoj-bandy-v-ukraine--unizhenie-i-ogromnye-poteri.shtml?source=patrick.net
The Kadyrov gang, which the Kremlin nurtured for 20 years, and on which Putin made a big bet, was humiliated and defeated.
The brand “Chechen warriors”, which appeared due to the unparalleled courage of the Chechen Mujahideen, who gained respect and fame all over the world, all these 20 years have been trying to appropriate Kadyrov’s puppets, parasitizing on the unprecedented history of the struggle of the Chechen people for their freedom.
However, the only achievement of the Moscow puppets over these 20 years was the "victories" over the ordinary residents of Chechnya terrorized by the 240,000 army of infidels.
Kidnappings, torture, violence, bullying, demonstrative acts of humiliation and insults - this is the list of "successes" of the Kadyrov gang in Chechnya.
Fattened as pigs, inflated with anabolic injections, they participated in criminal enterprises and thefts all over Russia.
Shows in the squares and stadiums in Chechnya of brutal-looking characters in fashionable military uniforms, armed with all kinds of weapons, which Kadyrov constantly demonstrated the world, were designed to reinforce the image of Putin's formidable underdog, ready to rush at anyone in order to tear him to pieces in the name of his Kremlin master .
But Ukraine war broke out. There it suddenly became clear that the war and stealing of someone else's property are completely different things. That experience in torturing kidnapped women and teenagers in Kadyrov's cellars does not help in any way from the precision strikes of the Ukrainian army, the ubiquitous "Bayraktars" and the deadly "Javelins".
The Kadyrovites suddenly realized that this war is not a performance with the storming of a house in which the corpses of young guys tortured by them for the “result” lie. A clash with a real army and an attack by an armed pack on a young man turned out to be not exactly the same.
The experience of torture and kidnapping of unarmed people in Chechnya did not help in any way in the battle with a real army.
Realizing all this, the Kadyrovites suddenly saw the light and began to massively post messages about their deplorable situation in Ukraine in the hope that at least those few who were still alive would be pulled out of the Ukrainian hell. (AUDIO 1, AUDIO 2)
And the losses among the Kadyrov gang are really huge. We are talking about hundreds of dead and wounded. According to the relatives and friends of the murdered apostates, their corpses are kept in the morgues of Belarus and are not given out, because. mass funerals in little Chechnya can cause an unpredictable reaction. (https://twitter.com/newkc14/status/1498256015346839552)
Puppet cops go to the houses of relatives of the murdered Kadyrovites and take a non-disclosure agreement. Meanwhile, Kadyrov, unashamedly grunting at the camera, talks about bad Ukrainians, treacherous NATO members, the great strategist Putin and his foot soldiers “doing their duty” in Ukraine.
The topic of Kadyrov's big losses today is number one in Chechnya. Almost everyone pays attention to the fact that apostates did not expect such a turn in their lives. Just yesterday, they posed in front of the cameras, threateningly shouting “Akhmat strength”, and today their cold corpses, torn apart by the blows of “Javelins” and “Bayraktars”, are waiting in Belarusian morgues to be sent back in zinc coffins.
Allah humiliated these evil men, forcing them to die for Putin's toilet bowls and Kadyrov's menagerie. Only the blind can fail to see and acknowledge this obvious fact.
Puffed up with their impunity and permissiveness, they fell into the trap of their own arrogance and wickedness, which they planted in Chechnya for a long time, becoming the executioners of their own people, selling their religion, honor, homeland and freedom for a bowl of stew.

Listened to two Russians speaking about war. One is Babchenko, who served for years (4 or 5) in First and Second Chechen wars in Russian army, and was a Russian war correspondent in 2008 Georgia war. So, a person familiar with Russian army. He is extremely pro-Ukrainian at this point. Second is Igor Girkin, who is probably a GRU colonel and was the person who started Donbass war in 2014. They have diametrically opposite political persuasions but their estimate of what happens on ground and what this will end with are somewhat similar. Neither of them is a soyboy/Western armchair specialist of the crush Ukraine in 2 days with 1 parachute regiment type.
I'll think about this some more and then make a post about their conclusions.

Eric Holder says
Putin is a low-IQ individual. And Russia is a low-IQ country because it tolerated his dumb rule for so long. The goals he set out to achieve are extremely retarded abd the means he's trying to achieve them are equally so. There is no "clever secret plan", folks, they are just extremely stupid. Should've kept iodizing that salt!
AmericanKulak saysRWSGFY saysPUTIN SAID NO INVASION!!!
We'll find out in a few years. My money is on Obama Hold Overs leaking out documents deliberately into Putie's hands threatening NATO membership.
Again, I find it hard to believe that such a seasoned FSB guy didn't have the means to verify that "deza" and was so easily duped.

My take: Yes

Evacuation of civilians from Doneck, Gleiwitz-style explosions in Doneck, and a lot of shelling along border.
Less probable is that they just want to increase tensions to get something out of the West (higher oil/gas prices, promises about non-expansion of NATO, etc).
If they do invade, ZH and a lot of skeptics owe Bidet & Co an apology of sorts. Everything goes to crap if invasion happens, as in economy of the world, residual civil liberties, etc, and one can blame Russians for inflation, loss of life quality, etc, instead of real culprit Bidet.
If I'd be conspiratorial, I'd say that Bidet agents in Russia will push for Russian invasion, but on other hand current CIA and military here can only shout pronouns at enemies as seen from Afghanistan debacle.
