More often than not those who level charges of 'fake news' are the very people most likely to spew untruths. Russia has never been a problem-solver, it has always been a trouble-maker, and its public pronouncements must always be taken with a grain of salt. The US should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization, pressing Russia in turn to accept real democracy – and world peace would be the result. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10
