July 21—If you tell a lie loudly enough and frequently enough, then people will most certainly begin to believe it—or at least that’s the theory of those followers of the modern-day Goebbels school of thought. Thus, a new and obnoxious lie was born this week on the occasion of Russia’s cancellation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, with claims coming from the usual suspects that, “See, we told you Putin could not be trusted!” As has been said before, wars are based on lies, and these kinds of lies are leading us straight to a world war.
