Eric, you sadden me even more... If I had not seen your name with this article, it would not have occurred to me that it belongs to you, since almost nothing in it has any relation to reality. This is a set of the usual stupid clichés of evil anti-Russian propaganda. It is a pity that it is not obvious to you that the Western mass media cannot be a source of reliable information about Russia (although, even without knowing the real state of affairs, it is easy to see in them a primitive manipulation designed for an extremely uncritical reader).

Balance, reliability of facts, impartiality, logic and rationality distinguished your articles on socio-political topics some time ago. I am sincerely sorry that your style is drifting towards the "yellow press". It is good to write many articles, but I comradely advise you to spend your time on a deeper study of the subject.
