What should the US do to help earthquake victims in Syria?

The AP quote only makes sense if you understand that amplifying Russian propaganda = saying anything disagrees with the party line from US intelligence officials.
The same sort of crap was used to silence critics of the Vietnam War. I suggest that you move any further discussion about “Russian propaganda” to this thread:

Instead of bringing peace, the end of the Cold War has brought one war after another. The people of Syria have suffered terribly. They are far worse now than when the US escalated intervention in 2011.

There was time when US media question sanctions that killed huge numbers of people in the Middle East. Now they don’t even bother.
