Pro-Soviet propaganda is oozing from the Dominion Post. Yesterday there was an editorial and an article from Gorbachev, and today chief Soviet apologist, Chris Trotter, is unleashed. We all know where Chris stands on the Soviets. A number of years ago he wrote an opinion piece excusing Soviet hesitation when faced with the destruction of Warsaw by the Nazis in 1944. Only a true Soviet supporter could excuse what occurred there.
But wait, wasn't the Soviet Union disbanded in 1990? Err, yes. Tell that to Russia who seems to think she still can "defend" territory not her own and then use that "defence" as a means to take over a former satellite. But the Dom Post editors seem think this view is the correct one, with what was said in the editorial yesterday:
Other former satellites are suitably nervous, but have more of a clue that our Soviet supporters here in New Zild.
Meanwhile the firing of ballistic missiles into Georgia by Russia has prompted the signing of the missile defence agreement between Poland and the US with additional guarantees that the US would come to Poland's aid if attacked. Hmm, who would possibly attack Poland?
Things are heating up and the best that the Dominion Post can do is act like a mouthpiece for Pravda. True colours are showing, guys.

That means accepting Russia's message that this affair is Moscow's business, and the West should butt out."Pretty clear when the Dom Post stands, then.
