5. U.S. Propaganda vs Russian Propaganda....

In my view, we have U.S. Propaganda vs. Russian Propaganda. It might be a pox on both houses. There's a lot to learn from the back story. It might take significant devotion and time to research and get to the "truth" of the situation. Personally I don't have that kind of time, and have not formed my opinion on the merits of the OP or your pov. I want to have everything available to me, so that i can at some point (if I so choose) to be better informed. Personally I don't take at face value any of these writings on either "side". That's because I haven't fully informed myself at this point.

Since I already get plenty of anti-Russian propaganda easily available to me, 24/7 I like knowing that there are a lot more than one or two opposing opinions on the matter to glean whatever kernels of "truth" might exist.

It's a political discussion board, you have the choice to ignore if it sickens you.
