After ISIS released a bodycam footage of the terrorists and once again confirmed its responsibility, the task of Russian propagandists has gotten significantly harder. Now they have to prove to ISIS itself that it wasn't them who conducted terror attack.

The Russian Woman’s Burden.

For centuries, a prevailing narrative within Russian society has been a sense of perpetual victimhood. This belief system has historical roots stemming from the country's rapid territorial expansion between the 17th and 19th centuries.

The Russian imperialists don’t plan to stop in Ukraine. That’s why we need to Ukrainians stop these imperialist soldiers in Ukraine.

Хорошая идея!

@almeira2333 @Joy_catlover @LurdG1 @DarthPutinKGB You meant to write russian imperialism changed that narrative, of course. Obviously only braindead russian trolls would claim otherwise

Look what happens when you kick the Russians out.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Yesterday in Khimki, near Moscow, 10,000 Russian skiers agreed to form a massive “Z-symbol” to show their support for the war of aggression against Ukraine just before the start of the race “Ski Track of Russia-2024".

Russian athletes must be banned from the Paris Olympics.

Oh dear, this one really upset the Russians🤣I wonder why?

[Dr. Ian Garner @irgarner]

Every leader who suggests Ukraine gives up territory to end the war should be forced to have a Russian army platoon occupy part of their house.

Что есть Россия?

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

What Russias are doing to Kyiv today has zero military objective.

Pure terrorism.

100% civilian targets, to force the country's population into the EU, as they've done with Syria, immigration crisis.

And the West hasn't even begun to realize Putin's war is on them.

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

For nearly 25 years we have been kicking can down the road, trying to contain Putin's imperialism with dialogue and diplomacy while he continues to ignore borders and flatten cities. 🧵👇

Western traitors, this is what you wish for millions of Ukrainians: an elementary school teacher being dragged off by masked goons at night into detention and surely torture for singing a song in a language the occupiers are tasked with erasing.

This post by @randymot4 is worth reading and contemplating.

For at least a century, #Russia's leaders have repeatedly proven adept at using #disinformation to deceive and strategically mislead the West. At present, Vladimir #Putin desperately needs the West to believe Russian forces can sustain their offensive in #Ukraine indefinitely. Russian diplomats, Russian media, Putin's foreign friends, and the phalanx of useful idiots in the Western media are now in overdrive, disseminating this bogus narrative. The problem is, this narrative is not only a lie, it's a BIG LIE. The Mother of All Lies, if you will.

The truth is, that the remnants of Putin's once-vaunted military are depleted, exhausted, inept, and dying in massive numbers simply because Putin and his kleptocratic bonzes (whose own sons, strangely enough, are not doing the fighting) refuse to accept reality.

The bottom line: Putin's last, desperate hope is that the West stops providing aid to Ukraine. What we in the West need to do is the opposite: Give Ukraine the weapons, funds, and diplomatic support that it needs to succeed, rather than to simply survive.

Wipe the Russian disinfo from your eyes.

The entire Russian GDP ($1.5trillion) is only equal to the revenue of 3 large US companies.

Apple $400B
Anazon $550B
Walmart $638B

Russia is comprised of a MASSIVE propaganda machine, some aging oil wells and 70 year stockpiles of rusty military garbage (before Ukraine destroyed most of it).

Don't fall for it.

[Cat-astrophe @ArMietu]

@LadyMihaelaTarg @ImtiazMadmood Ukraine has been in that position at least since February 2022. The disinformation machine unleashed against Israel was first perfected against Ukraine, in many cases the same players are involved, likely getting money from the same sources.

[Михайло Подоляк @Podolyak_M]

When we talk about the most effective Russian propaganda, we should not look at the absolutely absurd #RT or #TASS Russian News Agency. No. It's a distraction, so that we think that ru-propaganda is inept.

What is much more dangerous is something else. It is when someone like the well-known German TV journalist #HubertSeipel openly glorifies the subject "Putin" for Russian money, persistently proving to European elites and voters why "the West needs Putin" and why "Russia is invincible." But even this is just the tip of the destructive iceberg. Because we will never know the true extent of the Russian special services' long-term operation to buy journalists/opinion makers/bloggers around the world wholesale.

Under the guise of being democracy's watchdogs, many of them have become outright Putin's pocket dogs. That's why we have a number of demotivating texts about "fatigue", "stalemate", "Russia, which the world needs in its cannibalistic form". After the first shock when Russia attacked the whole country, real pro-Putin propagandists came to their senses and launched a new large-scale campaign. Its goal is clear: to sow distrust, discredit any resistance to Russian expansion, promote the theme "Russia cannot lose," prove that democracies must recognize Russia's "sovereign right to violence," humiliate the heroism of the Ukrainian military and civilian casualties...

Therefore, I recommend that you treat any manifestations of information pro-Russianism with pragmatic irony and skepticism.

First, it is always dirty money.
Second, it will always be exposed in the end.
Third, Russia will lose no matter what...
