gaslighting is one possible term;

One of the great advantages of mass media is its ability to not only dominate the full spectrum of communications across every platform, but to repeat something over and over and over until it appears to be ubiquitous. Ironically this is also its greatest weakness.

When you see a compilation tape like this one it erases any thought someone might have that these people are original, that they are thinking for themselves, or that they are not under the complete control of a single voice driving the narrative. This is a group of human parrots and they are being paid handsomely to convince you that reality is whatever they say it is rather than what it actually is. They are not reporters or journalists, they are propagandists driving an agenda.

Any military historian can tell you that there is no strategic platform that is undefeatable. Every battlefield system has within it the keys to its own defeat. Castle walls can serve as both a defense against an assault, or as prison walls for its defenders. Aircraft carriers can rapidly deliver weapons systems to the coast of an enemy nation or it can serve as a watery tomb for thousands, in an instant. The media can convince people through repetition, but once it commits to that course of action it must also accept that anyone who collects these admonitions and puts them together in a comprehensive and cohesive digest will clearly demonstrate the collusion and lockstep of their process, something that does not happen organically.

But it definitely had nothing to do with NATO expansion........more........
