They lied about the Cuban Missile Crisis, and they're lying again now

According to the BBC, the Cuban Missile Crisis ‘began when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev broke a promise and installed nuclear weapons in Cuba’.

This isn’t true. 

It began when the US put nukes in Italy and Turkey.

According to western media, the west is always the innocent victim! But this wasn’t true then, and it isn’t true now. 

Today, the media again omits key facts and context to create a false and infantile narrative of western goodies vs Russian baddies:

It’s the west that, in recent decades, has pulled out of arms treaties with Russia. It’s the west that broke a promise made to Russia 30 years ago and expanded NATO to their borders, and placed military and missiles there. It’s the west that backed a violent coup in Ukraine, resulting in a puppet regime that requested nuclear weapons and pre-emptive strikes on Russia. It’s the US that recently signed off on a first nuclear strike policy. It’s the west that allied with and armed neo-Nazi groups like the Azov Battalion on Russia borders. It’s the west that failed to adhere to the Minsk peace agreements. It’s the west that spent four years sabre-rattling after some ridiculous nonsense about Putin installing Trump as President. It’s the west that’s been waging constant overt and covert war, all around the world.

Constant exceptionalism. Constant deception. Constant propaganda. The media plays such a huge role in perpetuating these one-sided narratives, that put us on a road to disaster, and possible Armageddon!
