Did you notice how oddly Russia's recent use of drones against Ukraine was reported in the media? They weren't any old drones, but "Iranian" drones. Every single headline I could find mentioned that they came from Iran. Either Acme Iranian Drones has the best PR people in the world, or every single editor on earth took their cue from American news outlets. Probably the latter, and now in western public opinion, those hairy, cantankerous ayatollahs are solidly fixed to the Russian side of the conflict. If the war widens, those chauvinist creeps are going to get nailed as well. This is a woke war.
This small detail of war propaganda shows how little opposition exists to America's and Nato's promotion of the conflict. Coverage is uniform and unwrinkled. No matter if Ukraine passes laws against the use of Russian language, no matter if they backed out of fruitful negotiations with Russia last March, no matter whatever. Ukraine wears the white hat, and Russia the black. America's Deep State wants a long, juicy war in Ukraine, and it has organized a full-court press on public opinion to get it.
Not even the matter of the Nordstream pipeline sabotage troubles the patter of our news anchors. Against all logic, they insist that it was a Russian job. Among conservative commentators, Pat Buchanan is an admirably rare voice insisting that it was surely not the work of Russians:
"Why would Russia sabotage two pipelines it helped to construct, which give it lasting leverage over the prosperity of NATO Europe?
"Why would Putin sabotage his own strategic assets?"
He also makes the rarely-heard point that a Ukrainian victory over Russia might well provoke a Russian nuclear response:
"If Kyiv, with U.S. weapons and support, pushes the Russians out of Crimea and the Donbas, Kyiv pushes its war with Russia closer and closer to a nuclear war."
This, Buchanan says, runs counter to the American interest in avoiding nuclear war with Russia.
