I am well aware that Russia Today has been accused of trying to influence elections. It is a completely ridiculous claim. There are lots of biased news sources that do the same thing. Don't you think Brietbart News is trying to influence elections? Your assertion that normal is not normal because it is a foreign country doing it is silly.

Are you questioning the accuracy of the RT article I posted? If not get over it.

Oh yes, it's fake news with nothing but lies and false witness to interfere with our elections. The same way I know that Brietbart news is nothing but the same and the real fake news.

I agree 100% with what No1 says, and it's 100% factual; especially about Bernie and what he said. People are reading into things and assuming things that clearly are not there. It's Trump and the Republicans that want to get in there and get their oil, not Bernie.

Obama didn't go in to get the oil in Libya? Both parties do it. Get a clue. One is not less corrupt than the other. You have been divided and conquered.

No, it can't. He has repeatedly condemned military interventions and did so regarding the possibility of one in Venezuela a few days ago.

he has, and you would have to be ignorant to think he would support a military intervention. some of the critics in this issue are exaggerating but some of the points they are making are sort of valid if we were talking about someone other than Sanders: even a non-military intervention by this administration must be viewed with suspicion and questioned.

I don't believe Sanders would back up Trump in any endeavor without properly analyzing the facts.

it comes right after the US trying to give "humanitarian aid" to a country they threatened to invade for their oil, in which they supported a rival to the regime, a country the US has imposed numerous sanctions on.

Until we know exactly what this humanitarian aid means, bernie's tweet can be interpreted as supporting Trump intervening in Venezuela.


Like i said, more info needed.

Until we know exactly what this humanitarian aid means, bernie's tweet can be interpreted as supporting Trump intervening in Venezuela. That's assuming on your part and he has already clearly explained his position. ass-u-me!

stances can be changed. No public servant is beyond being asked by the public to clarify his position, at any time.

Oh, so liberal news sources do not try to influence elections with biased reporting? You know they do. How is that any different than what RT does?
What is inaccurate about the RT article I posted?

@metal-brain said
Sure he did, but that doesn't mean anything. Remember our debate about Sanders condoning bombing Syria? I know you do not want to accept that either, but it is true. Didn't Trump condemn military interventions before becoming POTUS?

I take Bernie at his word, he isn't Trump.

Maybe your memory isn't as good as you think:

"It is Congress, not the president, which has the constitutional responsibility for making war," Sanders said in a prepared statement Friday night. "The international community must uphold the prohibition against the use of chemical weapons, but it is unclear how President Trump's illegal and unauthorized strikes on Syria tonight will achieve that goal.

"After 17 years of war in Afghanistan and 15 years of war in Iraq, we need a political strategy to bring peace and stability to the region, not more U.S. military intervention."

Do you deny they went in Libya because of the oil? It is high quality oil, light sweet crude.

I could make the case that democrats go to war more than republicans. You are in denial of reality because you are a partisan creature in denial that both parties are corrupt.

Is Bernie asking for a military intervention as your RT article suggests? Thank you!

Of course some do; however, to I, they are easy to spot if you research what they say with no bias in ones mind.

Just like you I voted for Sanders in the primary elections, but unlike you I can admit I made a mistake. I know people have a tendency to resist voters remorse, but you are taking it too far. I believe Jill Stein when she says it, but not Bernie.

So RT is just doing what other news sources have been doing since you were born. What is nefarious about that? Nothing.

This is what the RT article said:

"The self-described democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders is now getting grief from his supporters for apparently aligning himself with the Trump administration and its regime change efforts in Venezuela."

Where does RT say he called for military intervention? You cannot even quote the article right.

I take Bernie's word on this not because he's a nice guy, but because he has a long history of opposing US military interventions and has voted accordingly. If you want to ignore that, that is your prerogative.

LOL, I never said some democrats are not corrupt. Personally, I feel and hope many of them go. As far as Libya oil, I have not researched that enough to comment on. I do know that Muammar Mohammed Abu Minyar Gaddafi was nothing but a dictator terrorist and I'm happy about how our invasion (as you say) removed him for good.

If you cannot see their suggestion in the article to their readers, then you should probably quit watching all news together. RT is run by a POS lying worthless dictator Government, and that's all I need to know to through it in the trash before I even read it.
