If I were to share this with my family I would be warned of Russian propaganda. How can I prove this is what I’m told it is?

I have 35 years experience working with Russia and Ukraine. I was trained in the late 1980s for US Govt service. I worked 20 years in Russia and (to a lesser extent) in Ukraine as a correspondent and other media projects.

Finally, the truth is always easily discerned by agreeing with the position that is opposite of the American Deep State (Pentagon, CIA, etc)

You've been away for too long, John! I missed your excellent reporting, like this current article.

I appreciate your vote of confidence! In the past several months I’ve been more focused on giving TV interviews to Russian and Azerbaijani media; and also developing my own channel in Telegram — in Russian. It has grown quickly as there seems to be no censorship.

What west did to those people is a crime. Unfortunately you can't hear about it from any west media. All those west leader shoud be prosecuted as a criminals of humanity.
