Hey Lawyee,
Yep, I noticed that we're only two Russians that have been discussing it all. I'll remain silent about possible reasons of that.
LawyeeI can't really say whether American or Russian media inform correctly about it. But if Russia is a part to this conflict, can you really say that their news are the "neutral" one?
Laywee, I did not claim and I do not claim that Russian mass media are "neutral". But I must say that in the present situation I tend to trust Russian news more, and I do think it's more objective than, for example, CNN. Why? Because, unlike the US economics, Russian economics isn't on its way to a great depression, and Russia doesn't have to desperately find ways to stop the coming collapse and thus to cause wars and conflicts looking for resources, and accordingly Russia doesn't have to find any "political" excuses of the done. America is losing the former might, which makes her mad.
As to Zeitgeist, well, would you mind watching it again please? It's clearly said there from whom the devilish tricks are coming, unless you've got a "politically correct" version of the movie.
Lawyee ...that Russia warned Westernees that after recognizing Kosovo, they will support the independence of Georgian autonomous provinces... There is never a single source of conflicts in international politics. And to call Russians as protectors of independent nations is somehow weird to me, if you remember Chechenyan conflict, which is in my opinion analogous to present conflict in Georgia.
Okay, I see your point.
What can I say? The western mass media and politicians twisted the story about the Chechenyan conflict (and other conflicts too) so much that we cannot really discuss it now and make any analogues productively for you simply have doubful and perverted information. As I said, I do think Russian news is more trustful because:
1) Russia doesn't have those reasons of getting resources by any mean I described above;
2) Russia is much closer to the epicentre of the events than any western country, and thus it's more difficult (I do not say
impossible, I say
more difficult) to hide or twist facts here, also because
there are always people, relatives, friends who are or were in the very hot spot and can tell us of the situation. We do have information at the first hand, not twisted by any mass media.
It's really a pity that western people can't follow Russian news (just for curiosity's sake, or to have a chance to compare different sources at least) for they mostly do not speak Russian.
Lawyee The world would be so simple if we would have only those "BAD Americans" who want to rule the world. Unfortunately, there are more such powers in the world... Do you see them?
Wait, wait a minute... Yeah! I've just looked at the world map and realized that RUSSIA takes an enormous part of that, and, being greedy and being sick and tired of various Napoleons and Gitlers, and having given Alaska to the US pursuing the world control aims, Russia is the power that all the rest world is afraid of for they have no idea of Russian mentality.
