Playing on Kansas City Radio: Russian Propaganda
Radio Sputnik, a propaganda arm of the Russian government, began broadcasting on three Kansas City-area radio stations during prime drive time.
You can search on this headline to read the article, apparently there are more of them.
They are emphasizing how America is messed up

No different than Al Jazeera broadcasting in the U.S. Quote; Without any second thoughts, Al Jazeera is indeed a propaganda vehicle for Arab world. Anything that is not Arab or Islamic is met with fervent criticism. Al Jazeera is funded by the House of Thani that is the ruling family of Qatar and it receives a lot of Saudi petro money as well so as to establish their Islamic propaganda worldwide.www.quora.com/Is-Al-Jazeera-a-propaganda-siteWhere was the outcry ? Qatar is an ally of the U.S. The Udeid Air Base is a military base use by the USAF in southwest of Doha, Qatar. Do we have any USAF operations on any bases in Russia? |

We have bases in Saudi Arabia don't we ?
The terrorists from the 9-11 attack came from there also.
What point are you trying to make ? As an aside, I expect ignorant nonsense from Happy, brown people etc. you usually think things through a bit better.  trump has no problem with the Middle East bases. So why doesn't trump ask Putin to locate American troops in Russia? U.S. intelligence confirmed Russia interfered in our 2016 elections and they are doing it again. Do we really want to entertain Russian propaganda? |

Qatar is an ally, Russia has been an enthusiastic enemy since the cold war. Did i simplify that enough for you JMA or should I type in it large print and primary colors? I never know how much I need to dumb things down for you. You gonna come back with some convoluted bullshit about what the definition of some word is to try to obfuscate the conversation? |

Last year an agreement was reached with The Kingdom to re-establish US presence at the Prince Sultan AF base but the base is not US property. Saudi Arabia and the US reached an agreement to re-enforce military presence on the base as a deterrent to Iran; however, the base remains in Saudi hands. |

they accuse Obama of being "weak" in the face of foreign governments. of being an "appeasement monkey". but Bush is the guy that handed Osama Bin Laden his biggest victory- removing the infidels from sacred ground. it was one of his most frequently made, and most important demands, and Bush just handed it to him. for nothing.

In these parts we call that cherry picking, lol. I don't understand this criticism at all, jma.
it is a FACT that OBL wanted this. it is a FACT that it was one of his main demands before and after 911. it is a FACT that Bush gave it to him. it is a FACT that we got nothing for it. and, lastly, it is a FACT that it was barely discussed in the media.
that might constitute "cherry picking" where you come from. from where I sit, it is the whole orchard.
Bush gets credit for being some kind of badass. imo, nothing could be further from the truth. there is only one thing that Bush was ever good for.
but that is one more thing than Trump was ever good for.

Saudi Arabia and the US reached an agreement to re-enforce military presence on the base as a deterrent to Iran; however, the base remains in Saudi hands. Even if we have a 'base' in Saudi Arabia, it's still in Saudi hands. If we don't have a 'base' in Saudi Arabia but maintain a military presence on an existing airfield, the outcome is the same. Our military is there to support them. Being a former wardog, I'm quite connected and aware of what's happening over there. You're nit picking a nothingburger. With that all said and done, military bases still have nothing to do with media propaganda. As was the opening line of my post, and on topic for the thread. not according to OBL.
and that is the entire point. you seem to have missed it. let's try again.
it was probably OBL's greatest wish to have us out of there.
at the time of 911, we still had a minimal presence in SA. in August of 2003, we withdrew that presence.
OBL and his cadre cheered their victory.
I don't really understand how you can see this as anything other than appeasing terrorists, jma.
for those who don't know the whole story, this is a nice overview:

Obama was still, as you say, the "appeasement monkey". this term is rarely, if ever, applied to Bush. however, nobody hesitates to apply it to Obama.
you might want to examine that.
note: I despised Obama for being a bigger warhorse than Bush. and yeah, I can back that up. so don't think I am flattering him. I would honestly RATHER have an appeaser-in-chief than a warhorse-in-chief, so I am not praising Obama here. at all.
