I haven't seen any evidence that Walt is trying to deceive anyone. I can easily believe that he is simply misinformed. I responded to this post of his as well in my previous post with evidence as to the West's duplicity here and how that has led to Russia's trust in the west sinking to new lows. Let's see how Walt responds.
Walt is what they call a merchant of doubt. They're on every political and finance site, especially those with conspiracy theories showing hard evidence against the official narrative. Walt doesn't care how much evidence you pile on; his job is to bring doubt to the facts.
What I find ironic is that this idea that it's someone's job to propagate some narrative has been foisted on me, not to mention others here, without any solid evidence that I've seen. At this point, I honestly wish there were more people like Walt. He's been unfailingly polite with me, which I find to be rare when it comes to those who strongly disagree with one's point of view, here and elsewhere. I think civilized discussion between those who disagree is at the very heart of productive debates.
Now, if you have what you believe is evidence that Walt doesn't actually believe what he states, by all means present it. Otherwise, I will consider that he honestly believes what he says and will continue to try to politely persuade him that he is mistaken on certain points.
