Yeah, sure, propaganda, "protecting the freedom"... but whose freedom was USA protecting when they attacked afghanistan? Why did they even attack it? Look at iraq for example... and the "weapons of mass destruction", that were never to be found. Russians say that they're protecting their own minority in ukraine, but atleast they have a minority there, compared to nato, who couldn't even plant WMDs in iraq. In the end, we all know that it's for resources and war-strategic causes.
Both historically and statistically, we have more to be afraid of americans here, than from russians.
