Russia is responsible for all the world's bad things — Secretary of State Blinken suggests

Not to be outdone by . . .

 

. . . Jake (the Lyin' Weasel) Sullivan — Secretary of State Antony Blinken eagerly stepped up to the United States' propaganda plate:

 

 

You asked about the impact of the Russian aggression in Ukraine on food insecurity and the impact, potentially, on Sir Lanka.

 

Well, I think we are seeing that impact around the world, and it may be one of the contributing factors to what’s happened in Sri Lanka, although I think there were, as I’ve just said, many others that have come together.

 

[W]hat we are seeing around the world is growing food insecurity that has been significantly exacerbated by the Russian aggression against Ukraine.

 

And as we’ve had opportunity to discuss in recent days, there are more than 20 million tons of grain that are sitting in silos in Ukraine that can’t get out . . . because Russia is blockading Ukraine’s ports in Odessa, the Black Sea.

 

We have a fertilizer crisis that is having a real impact here in Thailand, a fertilizer shortage, prices that have gone sky-high.

 

That is very significant, especially in a farming country, a vibrant farming country like Thailand, because in the absence of fertilizer, we know that means that next year yields will go down, prices potentially will go up.

 

[W]e’re seeing the impact of this Russian aggression play out everywhere.  It, again, may have contributed to the situation in Sri Lanka.

 

We’re working very hard to address those implications, including by putting significant resources into addressing humanitarian needs from food insecurity right now, as well as investing in longer-term production and sustainability, so that countries have the wherewithal to produce the food that they need over time.

In short . . .

 

If it can be portrayed as a bad thing, Russians did it.

 

 

No mention, of course . . .

 

. . . of the fact that US-led NATO expansionism aggressively instigated the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Which American leadership is now propaganda-foddering, exactly as it had previously plotted to do.

 

Nor any mention of the reality that it is Ukraine, not Russia, that understandably mined Odesa's port, from which Ukrainian grain would depart.

 

Nor third, of any Twerpy-Tony references to the self-imposed fertilizer bans that Sri Lanka and the Netherlands have both used to crush their own populations of farmers.

 

 

The moral? — American government — lies fornicating with lies

 

Like Sullivan, Antony Blinken is a double Ivy League graduate. That chain of Oligarchic collegiate indoctrination. Where facts and morality both go to be executed.
