there was a time i would have found the following absurd, as it is, but then every day brings a new serving of such absurdities and they keep getting more so;
CNN has aired a segment
in which pundit Fareed Zakaria tells the network’s audience that the US
president has “been unwilling to confront Putin in any way on any
issue” and asks “will Venezuela be the moment when Trump finally ends
his appeasement?”
The segment is a near-verbatim reading of Zakaria’s Washington Post column
from a couple of days prior, so that’s two massive prongs through which
this false and pernicious narrative is being driven into mainstream
consciousness claiming that the Trump administration has been far too
dovish toward Moscow, rather than dangerously hawkish as is actually the case.
Zakaria begins his segment by describing the Trump administration’s (completely illegitimate)
efforts to oust Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, then describing
Russian efforts to counter this agenda as an attempt to “taunt the
United States.” He then spends the rest of the segment asking if Trump
will be brave and patriotic enough to further escalate tensions against a
nuclear superpower. Zakaria concludes by implying that if Trump fails
to increase world-threatening nuclear tensions to effect yet another US
regime change intervention in yet another oil-rich country, it will be
because he is a Kremlin agent.........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/04/01/cnn-and-wapo-demand-that-trump-further-escalate-tensions-with-russia/
