British Simon Tisdall demonstrates that presstitutes in the developed West can have a prosperous career spreading disinformation in the service of the Anglo-American oligarchy, even when they openly push for nuclear confrontation. Basic decency is a concept these media scum do not recognise. Literally, everything Tisdall says or imputes in this piece is a high-handed lie. Everything.
