CNN: U.S. Officials Confirm Lying About Russian Troop Movements and Buildup [View all]

Even as CNN today, May 29, reports U.S officials have confirmed that less than 10,000 Russian troops, almost all infantry, remain near the Ukraine border I had to ask myself something because sometimes some things just jump up and smack you in the head with one big HUH?

When Putin announced that he would respect the outcome of the unrepresentative national election for President and WAS pulling back the troops, so he said, the little Bolshevik liar, was it not the same said U.S. officials who said there was no evidence of such a pullback? And who can ever believe a Bolshevik to ever tell the truth, right?

So, right up to today, several days after the election is over, now they say there actually was a pullback? You do not pull back tens of thousands of troops through the vastness of Russia in an eye blink.

And speaking of eyes, America has eyes in the sky over Russian territory that can read the brand of vodka
Putin is drinking today, so they could not have missed 30,000 troops now back at base or on the way.

Only conclusion is that once again we are all being lied to all the time, no doubt at all when it comes to military matters mixed with political matters....the question is, what is the point?

If the military released daily satellite pictures taken at one hour intervals and posted then on the net, what difference would it have made? What horror would have befallen the world worse than a local civil war if people were given the truth instead of fed lies? Is possessing some imagined God like power so enticing that everything has to be a lie so that a few pathological power mongers can get their fix and confirm God chose them to rule this way?

Just asking.
