On the lighter side, I have to laugh about something. You know how the government and media are quick to call any challenges to officialdom about historical or current events a "conspiracy theory." Well, now they are suggesting that Putin used a body double in Iran, on the grounds that for months, they have been saying that he is gravely ill, and yet, he seemed very spry in Tehran and was moving around briskly. So that, they claim, was probably a double.
The very same thing has happened before. During the 2016 election campaign, observers suggested that Hillary was using a body double, but the government and media were quick to denounce it as a "conspiracy theory."
But now, they are the conspiracy theorists:
Of course, it's hypocrisy, but the whole coverage of the war in Ukraine is hypocrisy because the fact is that what the U.S. did in Iraq and Afghanistan was every bit as bad as what Putin is doing in Ukraine, and we killed far more innocent civilians. We killed over a million men, women and children in our so-called War on Terror.
Here is National Geographic claiming that a half a million people were killed in Iraq alone, although other studies have placed the death toll in Iraq at over a million.
