Literally mental how 'our' media can report the truth occasionally but mostly have to stick to scripts 'our' nonse loving neocon governments provide them! The words Newspeak, Doublethink, Doublespeak and Cognitive Dissonance spring to mind!
'They've' even managed to change the word literally to also mean metaphorically http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23729570 WTF!
Vladimir Putin’s 'unacceptable’ action in Ukraine was predictable and provoked
Nato leaders don’t know what to do about Mr Putin and the civil war in Ukraine, and have been misreading this crisis since it began

It is always revealing when politicians tell us that something is “unacceptable”. What they mean is that, although people might expect them to do something about it, they haven’t got a clue what it is they can do. That was why, as the Western leaders gathered for that Nato summit in Wales, several, including David Cameron, told us that President Putin’s intervention in Ukraine was “unacceptable”.
The real problem here is not just that our leaders don’t know what they can do about Mr Putin and that horrible civil war in Ukraine, which has already killed nearly 3,000 people and which the Russians seem to be winning hands down. It is that they and many others in the West have been misreading this crisis ever since it began at the start of the year.
It cannot be said often enough that what triggered the crisis was not Mr Putin’s desire to restore the boundaries of the Soviet Union, but the ludicrously misguided ambition of the West to see Ukraine absorbed into the EU and Nato. There was never any way that either Mr Putin or all those Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine and Crimea were going to take kindly to seeing the country which was the cradle of Russian identity become part of a Western power bloc. Russia would be even less happy to see the only warm-water ports for its navy taken over by a military alliance that had been set up to counter Russia in the first place.
When 96 per cent of Crimeans democratically voted in March to join Russia, this was not, as Western politicians now tell us, because Mr Putin wanted to “annexe” their country. It was because the 82 per cent of them who speak Russian as their main language wanted to rejoin a country Crimea had been part of for two centuries.
Yet, at the very same time, the democratically elected government of Ukraine was being toppled by mobs of demonstrators in the streets of Kiev, many of whom were being paid from Brussels funds to shout “Europe, Europe” at Baroness Ashton, as she urged them to sign that “association agreement” which was the last step but one to Ukraine becoming a full member state of the EU.
