Once again we see evidence of how the US is slowly becoming involved in yet another military venture - and the US press (notably The New York Times) being complicit in not reporting on what is happening. An report "The New York Times does its government’s bidding: Here’s what you’re not being told about U.S. troops in Ukraine" from Salon....
"As of mid-April, when a Pentagon flack announced it in Kiev, and as barely reported in American media, U.S. troops are now operating openly in Ukraine.
Now there is a lead I have long dreaded writing but suspected from the first that one day I would. Do not take a moment to think about this. Take many moments. We all need to. We find ourselves in grave circumstances this spring.
At first I thought I had written what newspaper people call a double-barreled lead: American soldiers in Ukraine, American media not saying much about it. Two facts.
Wrong. There is one fact now, and it is this: Americans are being led blindfolded very near the brink of war with Russia."
