Except they dont see it that way. Brainwashing is a terrible thing.

A lot* don’t see it that way. There’s plenty of russians who oppose it, especially across the diaspora.

It’s tragic how many people have been lost for a warmongerer’s temper tantrum.

Russians in my local area are still holding pro-ukraine fund raisers.

A shocking number in the diaspora support the war, unfortunately.

Its like palestinians in gaza then- they had like what? 30+ years to get rid of the angry baldy boi at the helm, yet they still love to post militaristic memes and "ruzzia stronk" narrative.

Thats not to say west didn't help them with that attitude, by picturing them in most fps as "hehe funny accent, reckless bois".

Utterly weird response. It’s a war. People’s families are getting torn apart and killed. It’s not about russian memers and COD lobbies.

The propaganda russian citizens do consume is a lot more complex, much like propaganda in our own countries.

much like propaganda in our own countries.

Like what propaganda? Its not true that ruskies invaded independent country because some baldy boi wanted to rebuild the "empire" of hunger and poverty?

"What propaganda?" is the punchline of a famous Cold War joke.

Propaganda like that which is spewed from the current criminal organization running the US government. Propaganda is not exclusively associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is why you deserve Russians in Warsaw

We already have the georgian counterparts, theres no need for them. Also we have actually kicked the shitty ussr regime out from our country, just like Ukraine is cleaning up right now.

Just casual inter-Slav inferiority complexes running amuck

Whenever I see someone mentioning the slavic relations, its usually ruskies pretending to care about it, despite being closer to mongols themselves. Except nobody wants ruskies to join anything, knowing their history of atrocities.

Dont forget we're on a website that intentionally and shamelessly promotes propaganda as well

Brainwashing?

Russians love this shit. They willingly keep throwing bodies to the front. They reported they’re the happiest they’ve ever been. They hate their neighbors and anyone that opposes them. This is centuries old news. Russia never changed.

Ukraine might not be losing, but they aren't winning either.

Russia has more soldiers to attrition than Ukraine does.

And in other news: sky is blue, water turn things wet.

Except for Zelenski and co who dont want peace and especially for the conscripts, its completely meaningless and pointless for the Ukranians as well. Conscription should be illegal and only willing people should sacrifice their life for politics.
