How BBC fools its readers


They are professionals so there is no problem for them. In article - "How Russia outfoxes its enemies" ( http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31020283 ) they show how to lie to public. OK, not lie, just make some PR and force some impressions. They try to convince people that nobody could have predicted Russian invasion in Crimea. They write about "maskirovka" ( practice of military deception ) and try to paint a picture on which smart Putin makes fools of all others political leaders and invades Ukraine in so deceptive way that nobody could put two and two together.

Really?!

Yes, BBC seriously want reader to believe that SIS, CIA, governments in Europe were surprised by this attack. And they succeed of course. They are reliable mass media. Aren't they?

OK. Now version for adults:

In 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. Signed by Russian Federation, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. China and France gave other assurances in separate documents. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum_on_Security_Assurances).

2014 - Russia invade Crimea but soldiers do not wear Russian uniforms. So everyone can claim that was not sure who it was. Convenient excuse. No need to act. Russians have Crimea. USA, UK and others can pretend that they doing something but can not be too aggressive.
Partition of Ukraine were done but negotiations are ongoing - Russia needs a little more of East part.
Not so many victims, some hundreds of poor people shot to death, destroyed houses, etc.
All are happy, who cares about treaties?

2015 - BBC publish article about smart Putin and maskirovka. And not in Fairy Tales' section for children.

No-one to blame. Peace of mind to readers.

UK is definitely a clever country :-)
