Conspiracies? Show us your sources, why don't you? Fringe huh? Are you claiming the theories he mentioned are absolutely baseless? Syria, the nazi kill list, the U.S. backed coup in Ukraine, the U.S. sabotaging the peace deal ukraine and russia negotiated earlier this year? Are you sure about that? A few other things... Roger Waters wasnt gish-galloping. Either you straight lied or you don't know what gish-galloping really is... smh. Criticizing the israel governments doesnt make someone antisemitic. Your bit about Roger occasionaly saying "the ukraine" instead of "Ukraine," damn, that was weird as fuck, man. You are grasping at straws. Mr. Ball.. you're an unimpressive journalist and a credulous purveyor of state propaganda. Also, you seem to have an exaggerated estimation of your intelligence and critical thinking skills... and youre quite a smug arse as well arent ya?! An arrogant idiot. smh. the worst.
