I can imagine a press conference in which elementary school reporters get to question President Joe Biden on his foreign policy : " Mr. President , can you explain why these NON-NATO leaders fail to live up to your high moral standards for international politics ? Does not " OUR democracy "-and our outstanding Democratic and Republican statesmen - set a shining example on the road to world peace ? " How has POST-COMMUNIST Russia become more sinister than COMMUNIST Russia ? Cannot Putin be easily replaced by a the Russian equivalent of Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton ? Do not the Russian people deserve the equivalent of our magnificent TWO PARTY SYSTEM ? What is clear is that in commenting on the Russia -Ukraine war the mainstream news media in the United States lobotomizes itself on the FACTS of American History .
