Drone in the Drink: USG, Russia Dispute Downing of MQ-9
The American public no longer needs evidence to back up claims made by the state, they take virtually everything on blind faith.
Rigidly following a USG narrative, the corporate war propaganda media has claimed, without solid evidence, that a Russian Su-27 jet took down an MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea.
Indeed, the USG version may be true, there is absolutely no way to tell, although the Russians are of course denying they intentionally downed the pricey high-tech drone.
Most people, in America anyway, will believe the USG narrative. The public no longer needs evidence to back up claims made by the state, they take virtually everything on blind faith… sort of like they believed the North Vietnamese attacked a USG warship in the Gulf of Tonkin, a claim that was a lie, and yet began a war that killed more than three million people.
Of course, regardless of the party responsible, the USG has decided to summon the Russian ambassador for an official dressing down. The state department will squeeze this incident for all the propaganda value it may be worth.




If we require the Russian side of the story that differs from the corporate media stenographic echo chamber version, we must visit the “alternative” media. From Zerohedge:
The Russian fighters had been scrambled in response to the drone being picked up on radar: "The ministry clarified that on the morning of March 14, the airspace control of the Russian Aerospace Forces had recorded the flight of US unmanned aerial vehicle MQ-9 over the Black Sea in the region of the Crimean peninsula in the direction of the Russian state border." However, the ministry further noted that the UAV had been flying with its transponders turned off while headed towards Russia's border. (Emphasis in original.)
If this is true—and it is very difficult if not impossible to learn the truth during a war with its psychological operations and propaganda—then it was entirely legitimate for the Russians to take down the drone, if that’s indeed what they did.
I believe the drone incident is yet another effort to escalate the war, which Ukraine is losing, and badly. Ukraine does not have a “third army” and the USG, EU, and NATO are basically out of ammo and are not in a position to provide more to the Zelenskyy regime.
Now that banks are failing and the economy threatens to implode, the state may want to finally begin a big war as a diversion and a way to sweep clean the geopolitical chessboard.
