Russophobia propaganda

I mean... *motions generally*. Do you really think we got here by pure hatred? Do you think Russia is innocent? That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn't go unnoticed? That they're literally threatening the surrounding countries into submission and waging an anti-NATO political war? That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR? That they won't back out of a "special two-week operation" of four years despite having made their case? That they sabotage every chance for peace talks? Weren't they literally bombing Ukraine while giving lip service to Trump about ending the war? Haven't they orchestrated and perpetrated thousands of human rights violations by targeting civilians and poaching children for reeducation? That a bloodthirsty and power-hungry dictator's administration is running the country? That they don't play an active hand in interfering in foreign elections to topple our stability and governments?

Yeah, it's all unfounded Russophobia, and we should all reconsider what we think right meow! Or else! Russian style through a window.

That their decades-long cyber warfare doesn’t go unnoticed?

There are click farms on the internet. Many from former CIS states including Ukraine. That KGB/FSB doesn't arrest them, doesn't mean they aren't paid by GOP/CIA for their click content. Even if they have FSB budget, it's not as though west has pure love for Russia and isn't subhuman demonic dog shit for trying to nazify Ukraine and Georgia, or video proof of Navaltny destabilization funding, in last 20 years.

That they have invaded Ukraine twice and took the slightest circumstance as an excuse to do it again, so they could pin the blame on the West while they openly dream about the revival of the USSR?

Everything a lie here. Red lines for peace today existed before the war. Ukraine needs to aspire to NATO, remain nazified, and conquer regions where they wish to exterminate population, as their only war objectives.

That they sabotage every chance for peace talks? Weren’t they literally bombing Ukraine while giving lip service to Trump about ending the war? Haven’t they orchestrated and perpetrated thousands of human rights violations by targeting civilians and poaching children for reeducation? That a bloodthirsty and power-hungry dictator’s administration is running the country?

Everything more lies. Ukraine and NATO scum don't want peace. As demonic pig vermin, they blaming Russia for not wanting peace, and repeating your lies enough times to brainwash morons, is completely normal Hasbara for demonic pig scum.

"Everything I don't like is a lie!!"

Ok, sure bud. The tasty sure looks kool-aid.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Demonic subhuman NATO trolls bent on war on Russia must repeat every lie ever for moronic idiocracy to embrace their total subjugation. Everything is true because I love war, and I/my nations people are certain to prosper from total austerity, a draft, and paying the US every cent our country has for weapons to conduct a war without the US on Russia is simply an idiocracy level that is unimaginably extreme that your soul must be throttled out of trusting the pure BS that is bodysnatching you.

What war has NATO ever waged on Russia? Did you know that all of its members joined by their own volition? Do you realize the only one taunting a takeover of other countries is Russia?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Ukraine and Georgia wars on Russia were entirely US manipulated. The NATO rhetoric of forever needing to diminish Russia, out of demonic evil supremacist principle, simply escapes the cognitive capacity of a collective idiocracy. That propaganda makes people not question demonic NATO membership, doesn't mean that programing isn't involved in your so called "own volition" acceptance of demonism, and doesn't make those imposing your acceptance not corrupt and evil demonic lizardpeople. Simply, NATO has always been at war with Eurasia, and its not Eurasia that prefers the war.

Yeah, it's ALL the US and NATO's fault. Russia is innocent! They can do nothing wrong! As we all know, Russia operates in a vacuum and is incapable of doing harm or taking advantage. Do you hear yourself?

Do you know what the reasons were for those two conflicts? RUSSIAN INVASION. Holy shit.

The NATO rhetoric of forever needing to diminish Russia

I mean, do you not realize what's going on in Ukraine? Don't you think that now, more than ever, those fears may have been justified all along? Russia JUST threatened France and is hence threatening everyone with WW3.

But Russia can do no wrong!

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

US, with NATO support after the fact, is 100% responsible for Ukrainian war that it 100% wanted. Ukrainian puppet nazis being able to motivate/bussify, to the last Ukrainian, their citizens to the front line, is a gift to US demonic ambitions to diminish Russia. Russia is/was 100% forced to defend itself. It is only side that has ever offered the same 100% reasonable conditions to avoid and end the war. All claims of Russian provocation of war is pure demonic evil.

OP NATOid pig vermin, is just usual NATOid, genuinely unnacceptable traitorous subjugation of their nations, propaganda reinforcing their core demonic evil and lies: "Anyone who expresses a point that would favour ending the war is the propagandized traitor". Anyone not a moron, even if hateful Russophobe, would want the war to end, because Russia is only getting stronger from the war. It has passed Japan and Germany as the 4th larger PPP GDP, and has achieved massive miltary production growth with output that exceeds all of NATO in most important areas, at 1/20th the budget. The longer corrupt demonic evil rules over us to funnel every last dime we have to expensive US weapons industry, the further we will fall behind.

Let's assume this lying Portugese pig fucking warmongering traitor to humanity believes the headline. The answer is kick the US out of NATO, and declare war on them too, or at least put the same sanctions as on Russia. Not taking that stance is simple ultimate confirmation that he, like every NATO politician allowed to exist, is a CIA stooge hoping CIA/NATO (US leadership thereof) has control over Trump. All of the demonic NATO pathethic loser rulers who appeal to their CIA masters hoping to influence Trump, aren't going to get any relief or kept promises from CIA, the more sycophantic they are to US empire. CIA feedback to Trump will be more like "Great job, we got these losers to pay us 5% of GDP. Now force them to up it to 10%"

Russia JUST threatened France and is hence threatening everyone with WW3.

did not hear that (link?). But, am certain, that as always France said some stupid shit first. We need to be extremely thankful to Putin's moderation and patience. If there is any chance that Ukraine special operation does not lead to Russia's desired outcome, leadership will be replaced with one that makes EU STFU forever. The pathethicness does not appear curable by any other means than nuclear fire.

The only pathetic thing I see is licking an entire essay worth of boot while pretending that Russia is the victim here.

So when are you going to address the human rights violations and the fact that they could end the war overnight if they chose to? Instead they want to escalate.

France said some stupid shit first

Really. And what could be so heinous that it warrants a third world war? I thought you said Putin had admirable restraint.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

they could end the war overnight if they chose to? Instead they want to escalate.

In your propaganda world, Russia is always the side escalating. Russia is the side that wants peace. Ukraine is the side that wants to embezzle aid to the last Ukrainian, and are the actual side that escalates, and calls Russia's retaliation an escalation. Just pure propaganda recitement, that comes from media that wants this war to continue. Pretending you might not be a hateful nazi supporter for a moment, you should question your trust in that media. War is not good for the simpletons.
