RT News – The reaction from Washington on Russia’s upgraded fight against terrorism in Syria gives new meaning to the term ‘shock and awe’. The Obama administration’s strategy is in a quandary – it shows itself uninterested in ending the Syrian civil war. Instead it still wants Assad gone. CrossTalking with Ammar Waqqaf, Stephen Lendman, and Sharif Nashashibi.

Stephen Lendman – The Times is an establishment publication – a longstanding mouthpiece for wealth, power and privilege, militantly anti-Russian. All the news it calls fit to print isn’t fit to read!

Its latest anti-Putin editorial salvo headlined “Mr. Putin’s Motives in Syria,” falsely accusing him of “sending ‘volunteer’ ground forces into Syria” – repeating the same Big Lie about nonexistent “Russian aggression” in Ukraine.”

Spuriously claiming he’s bombing nonexistent “Syrian rebels,” so-called moderates no one can find, “phantoms” according to Sergey Lavrov, not ISIS and other terrorist groups.

Times editors viciously attacked Putin’s righteous campaign against terrorism, polar opposite US policy, using imported death squads as proxy foot soldiers, trained by CIA operatives and Pentagon special forces to reign terror where they’re deployed.

A litany of Times editorial lies followed. Putin is sending “young Russians…to face mortal danger.” His “very dangerous gamble” may “make matters far more complex.”

He’s “(p)ropping up a flailing ally” – demeaning Assad’s responsible efforts to rid Syria of the scourge of terrorism, outrageously blaming him for Obama’s war, naked aggression by any standard, turning truth on its head saying he “killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians, dr(ove) millions from their homes and destroyed vast stretches of the country.”

Putin’s “flex(ing) his muscles (again) before a Russian public…But he may not be strutting for long.” If he was “eager for peace, he could have…pressure(d) Assad” to step down.

“Instead, he supported (his) brutal reprisals against civilians and the opposition…” Putin is “making a grandstand play.”

This is what passes for so-called Times journalism and opinion – pure rubbish, yellow journalism at its worst, ignoring vital hard truths, featuring willful misinformation and Big Lies.

The so-called “newspaper of record” is a national disgrace, a lying machine, waging war on truth and full disclosure.  Continue reading . . .
