It's as good as saying that we can thank George Washington and his patriots for starting the American-British wars.

The dumbing-down of the press, and the degradation of language are directly responsible for the increasingly incompetent foreign policy and clumsy, self-destructive diplomacy seen in Washington in Obama’s Administration and the power they are welding over our allies and the economic wars he’s started....and it’s a deadly dangerous thing who’s outcome he will take to the edge of everyones limits for his own ego and self interests.

Further......Rational discourse on anything to do with Russia is replaced by name-calling and belligerent posturing and Diplomacy has become paranoid, with a militaristic approach now considered to be the sole legitimate approach to geopolitical conflicts.

Sheer, boneheaded stupidity would be a minor irritant if it stopped with the popular press,........but what is chilling is the fact that those ‘in positions of power’ now drink deep of their own propaganda, with policy formulated using the same tabloid press rhetoric and a logic shared with the average truck driver no attempt is made to understand the motives - the historical experience, the fears, the goals - of ones opponents.... Thus, do wars start­ when discussions stops and only the cannons speak....and we are almost there.

I could spit nails for the degree of propaganda from all sides which is playing out on the World Stage regarding the entire Middle east and Russia. The world leaders are INSANE!...and the media they are using to “shower” us with so we cannot see what the truth is.
