Let me guess, Tiananmen square was a totally justified response to CIA instigated unrest too?

Presumably your understanding of the Tiananmen riots is about as garbage as almost every other Westerner’s.

.

How about you link to a single source from any reputable news agency anywhere around the world instead of random shady sites that totally aren’t propaganda?

Sorry, I don’t have any MBFC-approved sources for you on hand. I think you’d just ignore them or move the goalposts if I posted them anyway. I doubt you have an understanding of how our own propaganda works.

Oh hey look, guessed it in one. And note that I said anywhere in the world, but sure they're all cia psyops, that's a very reasonable take. Have fun licking that boot, just because America is authoritarian doesn't mean you should trust what their opponents say about their own bad behavior, that's as ignorant as ignoring the crimes of the west

Yes, I heard you the first time.

Obviously not everything is. This isn’t a a very good straw man.

Obviously not, and yet again you’re putting words in my mouth to construct a ridiculous straw man.

Have fun licking that boot

Have fun licking imperial core boot, I guess? I don’t know how or why you’ve twisted this into boot-lickery.
