I don't see, I don't hear, I don't tell the truth to anyone -
It's is a variation on the cliché - hear no evil, see no evil, etc. etc. but is expressing outrage at as the Russians (and others) perceive as the propaganda job to frame Putin and Russia for the Ukraine crisis.
I have to admit, I believe there is an inside the beltway job going on to demonize Putin and restart the Cold War. The neocons (holdovers from the Bush Administration) in the Obama Administration are anti-Russian and pro-Israel, both ideologies govern US foreign policy and in my view to the detriment of US interests.
This may appear as racism - I see racism working in both ways....US employs it in all its military conflicts - and it's a vehicle to promote nationalism. I have seen similar comments used to attack Putin; he is demonized on this website and in the US media. Many would argue that the issue in Ukraine has a long term strategic goal of destabilizing Russia through toppling Putin. This school of thought looks to Zbigniw Brzezinski's (also ethnically a Pole and anti-Russian) influence on the Obama Administration and US foreign policy. US strategic interests are invested in control of global (especially fossil fuels) resources and Russia has a wealth of those......US would exert control of same not militarily through occupation but through economic control.
