    Didn’t USA invade Irak to get these juicy weapon of mass destruction ?? And in the process destabilised middle Eastern and led to the creation of ISIS ? Didn’t just recently they sold lots of weapon to Israel to kill 28000 Palestinian while the American people was against it but had no say, not even the Congress. Hell they even invaded Afghanistan, just like Soviet (ex Russia) did 20 years before.

    I mean comparing USA to Russia isn’t far stretched. Sure you don’t get propaganda as obvious as in Russia, but it’s no less effective. Check Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Chomsky for instance (hint: this isn’t some conspirationist Lunatic).

    Real issue is people not realising their own government isn’t perfect, to say the last, and only focusing on others.
