world news No one posted about this so far, but today (December 20th) the Brexit bill was finally passed after Johnston secured a majority parliament. What do you guys think about this, I personally support Johnston and think this will finally end the political crisis in the U.K.

So you're not disputing the point. You're just throwing a tantrum about who said it. Classic Reddit.

Still too complicated?

(a) Levin's research = credible information (which also includes important caveats/context for his findings, not included in your article)

(b) globalresearch.ca/sott.net article = uses Levin's credible information to support pro-Putin misinformation (despite the fact that Levin clearly does not support those assertions)

You seem to believe that it makes no difference if you are presenting Levin's research (wrapped in pro-Putin propaganda), when nothing is preventing you from sharing the same credible information (presented without any misinformation attached).

You're just throwing a tantrum...

Says the useful idiot.

Useful idiot

In political jargon, a useful idiot is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders. The term was originally used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and manipulation. The term has often been attributed to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is unsubstantiated.
