We sometimes lose track of the basic questions that need to be asked. Is Russia within it's rights to annex other nations? The US has destroyed a dictatorship in Iraq trying to establish a government more to it's liking.
I am just jealous. Russia has always known how to use propaganda. But for propaganda to work, there needs to be an assembly of useful idiots upon which it can work.
Look at RHP if you want a sprinkling of what useful idiots look like. Count the number of people willing to equate Saddam to Mikheil Saakashvili and the liberation of Iraq to the capture of Georgia. There are good guys and bad guys. Defeating a bad guy does not equate to defeating a good guy. Except in the minds of useful idiots.

instigator friend you. Bah! We all know the west is as dirty and foul at
the core as the eastern war mongers you're dispraising here. We're
just better off now so we don't have to play openly dirty, but can do so in
secret and blame individuals and spooky intangible foreign threats for
any atrocities made in favour of the western democratic cultures. We're
the apex of hypocrisy and filthy tricks. The peak of self-deluded
"civilised" behaviour.
I just love the modern world here in the west. So dark and hideous on
the inside. So neat and pretty on the outside. It's like a beautiful work
of art. A poem of exquisite complexity in all it's simplicity. You just know
that all the horrible humanity is still lurking underneath that polished
exterior, but it takes a lot to make it show it's true meaning instead of
all these false expressions of "compassion" and outrage at the "evils" of
the world. The true nature of humanity takes expression in the form of
the misguided outrage you're displaying here and I will have no more of
it. When I become world leader I will have you removed from freedom
such that you cannot harm anyone with your instigating lies and
preposterous accusations! Yeah, right. The Russian's invaded Georgia.
U-hu. (Forgive me for whissling the ko-ko tune at you here.) Go
back to that mental institution from whence you came, and disturb us no
more with your desperate alerts for red herring.
(Between my taxi quote - sort of - and this post, you'd think I've got
something against you. I assure you, that's not the case. You and your
kind just inspire me to spam and malice, is all.)

Originally posted by StarValleyWyThe Republican Party have used propaganda quite successfully, too -- that's why Kerry's popularity went down after the entirely false smears that the Swift Boat Veterans spread about him. This whole Reagan/Bush era ideology on "patriotism" and national security is propaganda -- and what's more, the Republican party copied many of those techniques from the Nazis. Some Republicans (including the Bush family) were even involved in helping Nazi war criminals escape justice so they could help the Republican party with propaganda. Reagan visited a Nazi cemetery and tried to convince the US public that the dead SS soldiers were victims too, but fortunately the US public were better people than to listen to him.
