The Western media has devoted substantial coverage to Ukraine in recent days. Sadly, much of that coverage has been so oversimplified as to border on falsehood.

This narrative is factually suspect and, if believed by enough powerful people, will have disastrous results for our country.

that there could be a civil war.”
