When it was the time to leave Afghanistan, it was The NYT that basically said, "We lied to you. Things didn't go well. We need to leave."
This time around, It's PETER HITCHENS writing for DailyMail online (!).
PETER HITCHENS: These are the lies you've been told about Ukraine
April 26, 2025 by PETER HITCHENS
In my trade I have long grown used to the way governments lie and get others to lie for them. It is what they do. But I have seldom seen such a cloud of lies as we face now.
Hardly anyone in this country knows the truth about Ukraine. There has been nothing like it since we were all lied to about the Iraq invasion, with bilge about fictional ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’. The liars were caught out. And they learned from it. They learned to lie more skilfully.
Meanwhile, many of those in our society who knew how to challenge such lies died off or retired and were not replaced.
We have never had a debate about the Ukraine crisis which started from the beginning. Did anyone in power ever tell you truthfully how, when or why this war began? No. Did anyone in power explain why Britain, crime-blighted, decrepit, rubbish-strewn, rat-infested, broke Britain, had to get involved in it? Never.
You have just been fed propaganda rubbish about ‘democracy’, freedom and an invented Russian menace. Here are some of the lies you have repeatedly been told.
The war, they say, was not provoked. Seldom in history has a war been more provoked.
