@snowflake what you say was true for the Cold War, but not for WW3.
it is alternative independent media which is warning of WW3, while the mainstream media irresponsibly just encourages confrontation with Russia like there'd be no serious consequences.
They still use Fear to pass their laws but they are using "terrorism" now, not WW3.
mainstream media even kept quiet about this recent Nuclear War warning Putin made directly to the international press :

did you see CNN, FOX , BBC or any mainstream media report it? should have been headline news worldwide but only some small independent media reported it.
