Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on CBS with Margaret Brennan to discuss the current status of the conflict in Ukraine. One of the interesting sentences is at 01:34 of the video: “The clips that we have shared with you, you have seen for yourself.” This statement is about the latest video snippet used by western media to frame the status of the conflict. The video clip was the lead on CNN with Anthony Blinken {SEE HERE}.
The video noted reportedly shows civilian bodies in the streets that were killed during the conflict in the city of Bucha, northeast of Kyiv. Two points about this specific area for context. First, this was the area where the well discussed 20-mile convoy of Russian equipment was stationary for several weeks.

The U.S. has been exploiting Ukraine for well over a decade. The money the U.S. has funneled into Ukraine in order to create, influence and preserve U.S. interests, has only increased the corruption within the political system in that country. There are no good guys here, only lesser bad guys.
It is from that geopolitical perspective that all western media constructs should be evaluated for the weight of the intended propaganda. The actual amount of control Zelenskyy holds over the Ukraine military response is unknown. The scenario this represents creates a larger problem when trying to figure out what is actually taking place.

The article would normally be embarrassing for the same media outlet that has criticized their political opposition as “right-wing extremists” and “Nazis”; however, given the nature of CNN needing to promote the interests of the U.S. State Department, it is not surprising.
As we have outlined, this is ultimately the counter strategic goal of Russia and Putin’s economic allies. It’s a feature, not a flaw, in the process that Joe Biden has triggered.
