It's really bizarre how desperately the US is pushing for war, the entire world can see through their mindless propaganda. Even the Ukrainian President needed to tell Biden to calm the f*ck down.[0]

No-one is buying the lies anymore.

The U.S. is definitely NOT pushing for war. No one wants war with Putin's Russia. But Putin's Russia is a bad actor on the world stage and have attacked the U.S. repeatedly. So we are being proactive now.

It's true that no-one wants war. That includes Russia, actually.

The whole "war is coming" is pushed by the US for some reason and the public buys it. As you can see it even allows the US to claim "victory" when Russia stays put.

Pelosi, yesterday: "if Russia doesn’t invade, it’s not that he never intended to. It’s just that the sanctions worked." (from https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pelosi-just-gave-game... )

So yeah, they're spreading propaganda, fer certain.

Hard to avoid, in the news business.

This article has nothing to do with Nancy Pelosi. It is about Zero Hedge parroting Russian propaganda from a "think tank" called Strategic Cultural Foundation. You can choose to trust them, but this is the warning that you are trusting Russian propaganda.

To your article, here is another quote you didn't include:

First, accuse Vladimir Putin of doing something he never intends to do, a fabricated scenario.

This is an interesting analysis. Do you believe Russia has 150k troops on the border? Why does Russia have 150K troops on the border? Why did Russia announce today that it was pulling back from the Ukraine border [1]? What is there to "pull back" from if they had no intentions?

That ZH is a conduit for propaganda is not a surprise to me, but I’ve long felt even the financial commentary incongruous with reality. If you believed it all you’d jump off a bridge, while the world just carried on oblivious.

Even if you believe this response, recent actions (the Russian invasion happening) prove their analysis was completely off the mark. Their site now has a bunch of articles covering the same invasion they assured us would never happen.
