And if you`re also going to be "really" critical about US/EU world politics I will drink that beer with you.
well...at least it's their neighbors...as opposed to some god forsaken country half way across the world...which has nothing to do with them.

Agreed 100%. People are almost grasping at excuses to either demonize the U.S., or "friendly up" ISIS making them appear to be less a threat than they truly are. I have no idea why they'd do either, but I suggest they take a trip "down there" and find out for themselves if ISIS is a threat or not...

Can you throw in some more random angles?

Is Isis a threat? In my opinion, yeah.
The equivalent that of our bad cops among our entire united States population-several thousand people among millions.
This stuff has been going on for years. We find a little nation full of people that doesnt have a central bank, or that is threatening to turn away from the petro dollar.
Then, we find a little group of "rebels", whether it be a group of a thousand, or a group of 100.
Then, we send our own black budget mercenaries (those without a paper trail) to help em out, cause a little chaos, attack innocent civilians, etc.
Last but not least, we send over some journalists from CNN and other major networks (hell, half the time, we don't send em anywhere, they just stand in front of a green screen with gunfire playing in the background), and make up some stories and create some sensationalized news about how bombs are going off, people are dying, kids are starving, puppies are in need of owners, blah blah blah, and then put all this made up crap on constant 24/7 loops on the news outlets.
All in order to get public opinion to swing behind the government, and give the go-ahead for whatever pointless atrocities they want to commit, all in the name of a big fat dollar. And" protecting your freedoms ", or preventing nuclear holocaust, or whatever popular phrase they're spewing out at the moment.

Very poor quality Russian propaganda, was good for a laugh for the "cheesiness factor"

I don't necessarily disagree with what you stated.
Just remember, regarding a multi-poplar world..
Sooner or later the two biggest kids on the block will eventually fight. These two kids have Nukes, Not to mention so do a few other street kids who might just jump in on either side.
One world Government is needed but not one that crushes the masses into submission like as is feared. How do we get there from here?
Well CNN, RT, PressTV, BBC, FOX etc etc etc aint going to tell you how.
That's for damn sure.

Russia doesn`t need to cover up as much as US/EU is doing at the moment.
Well finally....
That's the closest I've seen posted by some here admitting that Russia at least has stuff to cover up.
I won't defend 'Western Media"
why?
Because I know Western media is pushing their BS, however some here absolutely refuse to see that RT does exactly the same thing for Mother Russia. The only real difference is that RT plays into their preferred paradigm.
Now, if you don't mind I'll continue to criticize both East and Western media.

So the British, U.S. and other nationals who have been beheaded by ISIS are still alive then?
