In demanding that Obama ratchet up the confrontation with Putin, the Post's editors wrote that the current anti-Russian sanctions are "not enough, apparently to deter Mr. Putin from sending more troops to Ukraine, tightening his hold on Abkhazia or declaring himself 'invincible.'"
By the way, what Putin actually said was: "When a Russian feels he is right, he is invincible." However, by twisting the rather innocuous observation, the Post's editors could present Putin as delusional while simultaneously baiting Obama into escalating the personal feud between the two leaders, all the better to poison future hopes of cooperation on conflict resolution.
Yet, while the major U.S. media has become one continuous conveyor belt of anti-Russian propaganda, Der Spiegel finally seems to have slowed down the assembly-line manufacturing of lies and exaggerations by offering its readers a bit of honesty about how this crisis began.
