I will simply refer to the current CIA director, who at the time,made it perfectly clear in his memo that this expansion was red line too far for Russia , not Putin , Russia. From the knuckle draggers to the liberal critics .
To dismiss or diminish this as Russian propaganda and was not a major factor in the events that followed is simply not believable. Unless ur name is tangs Milo or Andy .
As for CIA coups or political interference, they do have history .
Nazis , yep no doubt they have them , so do we
Weapons bio labs , yep no doubt, so would Russia China and countless other countries.
How much is propaganda? Half truths ? Total fabrication?
Good luck with that one .
To pretend that propaganda is a one way street and that somehow the west holds some superior moral high ground after the Wikileaks revelations, the pentagon papers , is laughable.
