The reason war archives are withheld from publication for years after the war is over is that time is needed for court historians to instill in the minds of the population that the official narrative is correct and that any deviation from the official narrative is a conspiracy theory. The claim that the withholding of the actual facts is a national security matter is a complete lie. The war is over. The enemy is defeated. No “national security” is any longer involved. But the facts have to be suppressed until a false explanation can prevail.
That Americans have swallowed false narratives time and again raises the question whether the American population is intelligent.
Recently I had a conversation with a normal Republican. The media, which is hostile to Republicans, has nevertheless successfully set in stone that Putin and Russia are evil enemies seeking our destruction. When I explained the actual facts, he said that we had different opinions. In other words, facts are not facts. They are just opinions. So the official explanation has the same weight as the facts.
The media indoctrinated Americans that Putin invaded Ukraine as the opening gun of reestablishing the Soviet Empire. This has been the Western propaganda, and it has succeeded in preventing any focus on what the real issue is.
As I have stressed, when the real issue cannot be acknowledged, the opportunity for more misinformation is created, and war results from the inability to see clearly enough to make good decisions.
When facts are overwhelmed by propaganda, it guarantees the failure of civilization.

“That Americans have swallowed false narratives time and again raises the question whether the American population is intelligent.” Are you f*cking kidding me? Over 90% of Amricunts are either dumber than dog shit, mentally ill, sociopaths, or psychopaths.
Let western civilisation fail. It has been usurped by the greedy and the evil to provide for themselves at the expense of everybody else. Let it crash and let’s start again.
At least a good 75% of any and all wars the USA gets in on is fake, phony, with lots of fake pictures, and heavy on propaganda. Why 75% ? Just a number i chose out of the hat. It’s more likely 100%
Many of our war dead are officers getting shot up the ass by their own guys, once these are recognized for what or who they are. There are only pretend enemies, but the real enemy of the military are people. Just regular folks, farmers, dog walkers, little girls walking with their grandma, and so on.
It’s not even a war, only a operation they can prolong to thwart Europe and expose the evil empire in decline .. the whole special op was partially Ai from the beginning, with passenger jets flying over supposed theaters of war. Rumors of war keep the populations distracted.
