One of the most popular arguments that dupes cling to is,
“iF tHe MoOn LaNdiNgS wEre A HoAx, rUSsiA wOuLd hAve ToLd mE!”
This is, of course, just ignorant sheep parroting propaganda as if its some really deep thinking.
So, if Russia knew the moon landings were a hoax, how do you suppose they would have communicated that to the American people?
Thru the same media that just got done promoting and perpetuating the hoax?
Do you really think the media will ever tell you the truth about 9/11, after they have already committed themselves to lying to you about it in the first place?
There has always been a tech transfer between the great nations in cold war with each other. This is historically well documented.
So, there's always collusion and co-operation.
How much of competition and antagonism was just play-acting and how much was for real?
For people who lived in it, it was very real.
People behind the curtains, pulling the strings? Hard to say, was not there.
However, all parties have shit on each other. If you spill it, you can't use it as leverage.
Also, who says that Russia didn't fake a lot of their space achievements and US knew that, but didn't spell the beans on that.
It gets murky pretty fast.
But yeah, moon landings... fakery as hell.
