I'm pretty sure they're going to define it as: if it's in the interests of the US State Department then it's very good. Everything else is disinformation.

This is utter insanity. Do they have nobody in the room willing to raise their hand anymore? These institutions need to be reformed, now.

Everybody in power here has both hands full stabbing each other in the back. I'm guessing they just yell "Yeah, whatever the US ambassador says" at their staffers as their "sign off" on legislation...
