I’ve more paid attention to Ukranians’ accounts of events than major media coverage. Lots of pictures of really old tanks being dragged away by farm equipment and other extremely dated supplies being found. If this is anyone’s propaganda it’s Ukraine’s, in which case I’m happy to participate.
Nobody said it hasn’t been hellish for Ukraine, or that it hasn’t been a hard fight. Even if they were equipped with entirely WW2-era supplies, an invasion is an invasion, and by all accounts this has been a particularly cruel and brutal invasion.
I really don’t care at all about being fair to Russian engineers at the moment.
Even the phrase “Russian sympathizer” is propaganda. Simple messaging sinks in.
I just have an interest in the wars around the world that the West (the UK, USA, Israel, France) are magically omnipresent in and around. With of course completely coincidental geopolitical prizes to win, as ‘we’ play Team NATO World Police around the world after the first rounds of our Confessions of an Economic Hitman tactics fail. The same old players pop up in every new episode of their perpetual war plan.
This is another episode. All wrapped up in a completely independent narrative with a different cartoon mad man to fight and a nice humanitarian angle so that people get all emotionally attached and don’t join the dots.

Why is that? It’s a blood bath and we shouldn’t support any propaganda that perpetuates wars.
Uhh, don’t think it’s the propaganda that’s perpetuating the war. That’d be the invasion.
Found the Russian sympathizer though.
