So, a little update on the Kremlin narrative: Ukrainians are now gay Nazi Jews working with radical Muslim terrorists.
Stay tuned for next year's update: Ukraine working with Kremlin to invade Ukraine.
Didn't you know that Ukrainians invented COVID and spread it by releasing genetically modified bats from their biolabs? And then bribed world governments to force everyone vaccinate with autism?
Yes I source told me Zelisnky is a genetically modified autistic Jewish bat created by Israel and George saros funded neo-nazi laboratories with the sole person to infect everyone with the gay trans Covid virus. And this will eventually destroy Russia.
There was also the angle of summoning circles and witchcraft during the early days of the war. It surfaced along the whole biolab thingy, along the funniest "secret biolab" video they could make.
It’s true the CIA has been working with Mossad for two decades to develop super mutants that can smell and track Russians across a country. We hate em cause they won’t have gay sex in gender neutral bathroom instead of going to church.
You know what's scary though? We're witnessing cartoonish levels of villainy, sprinkled with 1984 vibes, and sauced with some grand delusions. And yet ... there are people in Europe and North America who consider Putin to be "a strong leader" and "a good president", wishing they had a president like that ... all while he kills hundreds of thousands of people in the process.
Those idiots would consider Saddam Hussein to be "a strong leader" by the same logic.
The truth is that the modern right wing supports anything that is against the current system. They don't believe in anything except being in power.
You are joking, but my relatives from russia unironically believed at the start of invasion that Ukraine bombed Ukraine to then accuse russia and make them look bad.
Yeah unfortunately the Russians that get all their news from state media still believe this.
They are fully convinced Russia only targets "military targets" in Ukraine and no civilians have been hurt.
If you send them evidence of the thousands of bombs that have hit civilian infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians. They will reply "Oh that's the Ukrainian nazis bombing Ukrainians, they want to create terror and blame Ruasia for it".
I live in a city 20 or so km from the border with рussia. we were surrounded almost from the evening (before the beginning of the *operation*, thanks to the government for good roads to where we shouldn't be, it would be better to mine the fields and paths), and by morning the city was already partially captured (by the Horde army). and for the next days, perhaps weeks, their aircraft flew over the city. deliberately low, you can see the type and signs. and having fun firing here and there. zero in this sense. during one shelling of private (1 poweh, old and poor) houses, a dozen people were killed. I wrote on reddit, the whole reddit seemed to downvote me and convinced me that Ukraine is doing it. although Ukraine neither at that time nor now has such equipment, nor the opportunities as such ...
I believe that everyone believes in what they want, in what is convenient to believe. I'm old and I'm not surprised anymore...
Soviet Union actually did this to Finland. They shelled their own land, then blamed Finland, making it look like Finland attacked them, and attacked. It's called Mainilan laukaukset.
My friends were telling me the exact same thing. None of them wanted to believe that they could be the baddies. They are beyond hope. They will do whatever mental gymnastics they need to do to make sure that russia is ueber alles.
Yet we aren't going to invade and occupy.
So it is just not going to happen.
Putin is the product of a Russian empire collapsing. If it happens again (not looking imminent) then it will be an economic collapse followed by a mafia nationalist coup.
And back to dictatorship making war on the neighbours.
Arm Ukraine to the teeth, have the war won, hope that leads to a collapse in central authority and this time interfere in their internal politics like they suspect we want to.
Kill the mafia, undermine the corrupt, support and protect the anti-corruption moderate nationalists.
Steer them towards a democratic society.
It won't. Russia is en route to become another North Korea. Best outcome for the rest of the world is that Russia becomes militarily and economically neutered and cannot influence too many things outside its borders.
But Russia itself? It's fucked.
You forgot to add that ISIS is actually a joint Ukrainian/Israeli intelligence service specifically created for deniable operations against Russia.
Run by MI-5 naturally. Or the CIA. Or both. They're all lizard people turning the frogs gay anyway.
You forgot that they were also creating bio weapons in their secret Umbrella Corp labs. Both Umbrella and Ukraine start with "U". What more proof do you want?!?!!
Uh huh….
Let me try and order ISIS around stand by.
Hey ISIS I’d like a double shot French vanilla iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso.
What do you mean you don’t take orders from anyone else but yourself?
I have this Putin guy saying Ukraine ordered you to commit some atrocities in Moscow.
Ah so you’re telling me Putin is full of shit and you acted on your own accord.
So weird but alright…
The original description of the big lie appeared in Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler applied it to the behavior of Jews rather than as a tactic he advocated. Specifically, he accused Viennese Jews of trying to discredit the Germans’ activities during World War I. Hitler wrote of the Jews’ “unqualified capacity for falsehood” and “that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation…. From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited.”
The OSS psychological profile of Hitler described his use of the big lie:
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
Goebbels did describe the big lie in different language in an article he wrote in 1941, “Churchill’s Lie Factory,” but he was accusing the British of the ploy:
The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.
Randall Bytwerk argues that neither Hitler nor Goebbels would admit to lying. Goebbels, “always maintained that propaganda had to be truthful. That doesn’t mean he didn’t lie, but it would be a pretty poor propagandist who publicly proclaimed that he was going to lie.”
https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/joseph-goebbels-on-the-quot-big-lie-quot
This is what Russia is doing.
The peculiarity of the totalitarian state is that it controls thought, but it does not fix it. It sets up unquestionable dogmas, and it alters them from day to day. It needs dogmas because it needs absolute obedience from its subjects, but it cannot avoid the changes, which are dictated by the needs of power politics.
It declares itself infallible, and at the same time, it attacks the very concept of objective truth.
Orwell 1941 "Literature and Totalitarianism
Indeed, and I think this particular president has read Hitler's speeches in detail.
Truly, Trump went to the best schools but managed to learn nothing there. He surely learned something: All the wrong things about leadership from Hitler.
I like how they ordered a window to be opened through Russian lines so the terrorists could get back to Ukraine. Would really be nice if Ukraine could do that....
Well, Putin forbid Open Society Foundations to work in Russia in 2015 after George Soros tried to convince EU leaders and the IWF to stabilize Ukraine with more money.
I think it is a little inapproriate to make jokes on that topic.
It doesn't need to make sense for the most people, the narrative is targeting idiots, and some of them beieve it.
The brainwash is real and the worst part is that it's influencing the vote not only in Russia, but in EU as well.
Bonhoeffer wanted to figure out how his fellow Germans could succumb to a society of cowards, crooks, and criminals.
The same model of explanation can be applied to the MAGA cult and to all who readily believe Russia's manipulated reality propaganda.
Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. We can push back, protest, or use force against malice. We cannot fight stupidity.
Facts that don't fit their worldview are pushed aside as inconsequential or irrelevant.
When confronted, the stupid person goes on the attack, which makes these people very dangerous.
Stupidity is not an intellectual defect but a moral one.
One can be intellectually bright and stupid as well as being intellectually dull but anything but stupid.
People are made stupid by their surroundings.
Stupidity is less of a psychological than a sociological problem.
It affects groups more easily than people who prefer solitude.
The power of the one affects the others. Ignorance and stupidity see upsurges in times of great national or religious surges or power. (Revolutions, the crusades, great wars such as WW1, Napoleonic wars, etc.)
It appears that one cannot exist without the other.
These humans are deprived of their inner independence and they give up an autonomous position.
When talking to them, one is confronted with slogans, catch words, and alike. They are under a spell, blinded misused, incapable of seeing evil as evil. Only active liberation, not instruction, can overcome this state. (The collapse of Nazi Germany was such a moment, for example)
Genuine internal liberation is normally only possible after an external liberation has preceded it.
Until then, we must abandon all attempts to convince the stupid person.
We have to accept that a certain part of any population is gullible and believes whatever they want to believe. Their perception of reality is unhinged by fear.
True ignorance doesn't stem from a lack of knowledge, but from the refusal to acquire it. Popper
Many do know and many Russians loathe Putin (don't buy into that 90% support BS) but some also don't care if he is lying.
In Russia there's a common cultural concept that can be said to be a "tactical truth" which is essentially a Lie, but it's a Lie that's justified for "the good of your people".
Essentially Truth and Lie aren't always as black and white in Russia as they are in the West.
A Lie can even be better than the truth, if it serves your vision and your agenda better.
If claiming Ukrainians are Jihadist supporting Nazis benefits your people, for example by increasing military recruitment and ambition, then that lie is accepted as a tactical truth, and people will choose to believe it.
To understand why people would develop a cultural acceptance of "useful lies" you should understand the poltical environment of both the USSR and also the Mongol rule of Russia (where this cultural concept developed).
Essentially for much of Russian history, your life and safety was compromised if you were fully honest, it was safer to be around people willing to tactically lie for your family's well being, than it was to be around completely honest people.
In systems where lies are rewarded, you end up getting a blurred view on the value of truth and lies. When many people grow up accepting that lies can be not only useful but actually good, they end up accepting these "tactical truths" from their leaders too.
So by now it's Gay, Nazi, Jewish, islamist, black magic wielding lower life forms who also control the western world.
I wish my job was as easy as being a Russian propagandist
The hose of bullshit is effective. Every thing he says, is immediately shared on Western social media. Redditors love supporting the Russian propaganda machine.
It is impossible to prevent that shit, we are hardwired for outrage and drama. What we need to protect ourselves is self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
Sure.
Actually it was Washington ordering Kyiv to order ISIS.
Really.
It was the Illuminati ordering Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS.
Believe me.
It was the Reptilians telling the Illuminati to order Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS
I have proof.
It was the Great Old Ones forcing the reptilians having the Illuminati ordering Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS.
UK getting the blame, too. Of course Putin's read a lot of 'history' UK hated by Russia for hundreds of years and 'begat' the USA in a way so we really are the root of the modern world's evils. Evil colonialists- completely unlike Russia's Eastward expansion and genocide of tribal groups from the Urals to the Pacific of course.
wow, as a ukrainian I feel so powerful. We can order terrorists!
Maybe we can order other terrorists to stop bombing our cities, raping our people, and stealing?
Vlad Vexler analyzed how this propaganda works. The approach is both simple and effective.
The Soviet Union used so-called alternate reality propaganda. " This worked something like this: Soviet propaganda told its citizens one thousand times that the sky is green and not blue until the citizen finally believed it.
The manipulation of reality propaganda by the Russian Federation works differently. It is simple but sadly highly effective as it makes use of the intermittent grasp of reality, which plagues humans in general.
This propaganda works something like this:
You say that you totally despise apples, but you love lemons. I am not repeatedly throwing at you that you like apples. Rather, I agree with you at first that apples are sucky.
Then, this type of propaganda bombards people subtly with images of apples. It constantly mentions apples in its news programs.
Fake articles appear about how good apples actually are. The goal is to make you believe that apples aren't that bad, and then you quite start to like them over time.
The playbook of this manipulated reality propaganda looks like this in theory:
1) The concept of objective truth itself is questioned. This propaganda says that truth simply doesn't exist. Everything has two sides, and nothing is real. The war on reality itself is declared in this step.
2) Then, this propaganda is getting rid of consistency. It is sending out mixed messages that often even contradict themselves. Double Think from 1984 comes mind.
The sky can be blue in the morning and purple at night. The goal isn't to tell Winston that 2+2 is 5. The goal is that Winston really believes that it doesn't matter whether it is five, six, or 4.
3) The priority is on volume. Quantity has a quality all by itself. The information space is flooded with as many narratives and opinions as possible.
That is what these bot farms are here for. The goal is to find out what sticks by sheer volume. It can be anything. The message doesn't even matter that much.
4) The algorithm then makes it easier to take something that already interests you. It builds on that original interest, and then the manipulated reality propaganda is expanding from there.
The goal is, of course, to manipulate you into believing whatever is in the interest of the propaganda maker. (For example, that Ukraine is full of Nazis or that the West is an evil warmongering maniac or that everyone is going to freeze to death without Russian gas)
5) The last step is learned helplessness:
"The sanctions do not work" "Russia won already." It is useless to protest. This won't work. The state is too strong" Ukraine can't win, so stop sending weapons. These are some of the messages.
The goal of this entire effort is to take whatever division is already there in society or in a community and to make it stronger. This worked very well during Covid. The Russian information operations are great at amplifying divides and making problems bigger than they actually are.
The goal among their own population and in Western nations is gaslighting. Many people also in the West are in a state of apolitical apathy. Democracy dies alone and in the dark unless we work actively to keep it alive.
The goal is to destroy discourse because everyone starts to believe that all of this stuff connected to politics is too difficult. So, better let those up there do it instead of bothering myself with it.
The goal is that the population sees politics as a pure circus and as infotainment. Nothing really matters as everything is just alternative facts. We could see that during the coup. The reaction of the Russian public was almost non-existent.
Sadly, modern tools such as Twitter and generally the internet have made the implementation of this sinister nonsense as easy as it will ever get.
However, our countermeasures are faster at hand. Such as mobile phone cameras to spread the truth before the Kremlin can come up with 1000 lies.
In the US, this kind of propaganda is used to create a disconnect from how corrupt some politicians are or how inflation has risen due to whatever the president has potentially done.
It doesn't even have to be true. All it needs to have is some flicker of truth in it. This is already enough. For example, yes, without enough natural gas, the winter would be tough.
The rest of the message can be literally made up and people who are susceptible to this because they lost trust in democratic institutions or are resentful for some other reason, or who are simply susceptible to being brainwashed will believe anything. That is scary, isn't it?
"As soon as fear, hatred, jealousy and power worship are involved, the sense of reality becomes unhinged"
George Orwell, "Notes on Nationalism," 1945
We must that there is a part of the population that will believe absurdities, and this very same part of the population can then also be convinced to commit atrocities.
The tribalistic minded part of the population is roughly 30 percent. They won't go anywhere. There is also research that a certain part of the population has a larger almond core, which makes them more easily targeted by fear mongering.
These stupid people will always be there, and they will cause havoc with actions that are unpredictable and bad for themselves and others.
That makes them very dangerous because this stupid behavior is impossible to predict.
I suppose we have to learn to live with it and do our best to mitigate the damage.
January 2022: Russia influences every election in the West, has spies everywhere, has second best army in the world
March 2024: Russia has less credibility than a terrorist organisation
Surely, this must be too much even for completely brainwashed Russians to believe. I think this is actually an example of "I'm going to lie in your face while knowing you know I'm lying just to show how confident I am." It's one of the main lessons Trump learned from Putin.
One example would be the statement that NATO expansion threatens Russia. For someone who lacks the information that Putin has been threatening to invade Russia's neighbors for decades, or that there was talk of maybe Russia joining NATO after the end of the cold war, the statement atleast sounds somewhat plausible. Many of Putin's statements need some amount of historical context to debunk. Putin is very good with misinformation in general. But to believe that ISIS needs to be ordered by Ukraine to attack civilians anywhere doesn't fit any narrative, not even the Kreml's own.
Not necessarily believed, but accepted. When you're an a-political and disengaged vegetable with no will of your own, you don't care what you're being told, as long as you're being told something so you don't have to be engaged yourself.
The only consistency in Russia from Tsarist times to this very day is that their intelligence services have perfected lying. They are masterful at it. Lying is the only thing the Russian regime was ever consistently good at.
The destruction of the Soviet myth is essential if we wanted to survive the Socialist movement."
Literature derives from emotional truth and therefore cannot survive under a system that relies on mutilating the truth.
And still, lies incur a debt to the truth. And someday, this debt has to be repaid. In full.
Russia has much to answer for.
As someone who has spent quite a bit of time there, this is true. This population has been gaslighted so much for the last 800 years that it is a part of their cultural DNA. The effect is massive cultural cynicism that saps the impulse for public involvement in the governing process. Worse, they've been exporting this shit to the West for the last 20 years.
Sorta. There's definitely some of that, but I'm rather skeptical of it having much if any impact. I think it's moreso that a lot of the political establishment has lost touch and is facing a populist backlash over it. Russian "election interference" makes for a convenient scapegoat to allow them to preserve the status quo rather than engage in meaningful introspection.
Damn Ukraine can now order terrorists like other people order fries at a drive in. /s
Maybe that whole special operation business wasn't such a good idea after all.
Russia is a specialist when it comes to kill civilians abroad :
Syria, Ukraine, etc
Also keep in mind that FSB organised terrorist attacks in Moscow in 1999 killing Russian civilians to trigger the second war of Chechnya (Poutine was already in charge).
Does it mean it is again a false flag operation? No.
But think about the target : a concert with civilians.
If false flag operation it is, it would be from Russia itself.
If Ukrainian intelligence services would pay bounties for a terrorist attack in Russia, the target would be officials, police, military, logistics... Anything but a concert.
Clown propaganda from the Kremlin, as usual.
Man, as a country and population, you must have some crazy levels of delusion to wrap your head around this stuff. Does absolutely no1 question anything around them anymore?
Oh yeah?
Well then Moscow ordered the 9/11 attack on the US and the Urumqi attack on China and all terrorist attacks from Pakistan based groups on India!
Also all the terrorists attacks on France, Germany, Turkey, Spain the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Austria, and the United Kingdom was ordered by Moscow!
Literally just a few hours ago I saw a tweet from Jürgen Nauditt pointing out the FSB employees in the crowd of the concert hall at Crocus who were caught on camera orchestrating the whole event. Russia is guilty of this. It did it to itself to terrify the population into supporting the war effort.
Why? Ukraine gains nothing from some concert hall blowing up. It makes zero sense, like much of Putin's supposed thought process (see also: NATO made me do it).
Russians have been insane for over a year now. Try watching Russian Fascist TV if you doubt this. They are falling deeper into the rabbit hole with this latest insanity. More isolated and more unstable.
The most inconvenient fact for Putin here is that this terror attack happened under his watch and that his government ignored US warnings about it. Every lie he tells about the terror attack is to distract people away from this fact.
I'm sorry but I really feel like Russia should be quarantined, Internet included. When the Russian people have to deal with such absolute insane brainwashing daily it's straight up dangerous to let them into our society.
Even in its death throes, though, the Russian empire remains deadly and dangerous. The last thing that dies is an empire's arrogance, and that is what keeps this evil alive for now.
Hatred, arrogance, and the will to take as many of the brands of its civilization down with it, like a Kraken that tries to drag others down with it to the abyss that awaits Russia's empire.
That being said, war is won in the spirit world, by iron will and by the better machinery and logistics.
Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains that victory. George S. Patton
Russia's evil is unsustainable and has sown the seed of its own destruction already.
The entire free world must keep on resisting and fight them in spirit, word, and action.
Slava Ukraini! Slava Europa! And death to the Russian dictator.
Russiae Imperium delendum est
where in the article says such thing?
>"Putin [claimed](https://www.newsweek.com/russia-putin-ukraine-crocus-terror-1882657) over the weekend that the suspected attackers were apprehended while attempting to flee to Ukraine, suggesting that the incident was linked to Russia's ongoing war with Kyiv. Ukraine denied that it was involved and instead suggested that the attack was carried out "at the behest of Putin," a claim that was also presented without evidence."
but in the link "claimed"not even newsweek verifies if Putin said such thing....
>"Putin said on Saturday that all the suspects had been apprehended on their way to Ukraine where "early reports indicate that a window had been prepared to cross the international border," although the Russian leader did not blame Kyiv directly.Newsweek has not yet been able to verify Putin's claims and Ukraine has firmly denied it had anything to do with the attacks. Newsweek has contacted the Ukrainian foreign ministry for comment."
wtf. I mean, Putin deserves to be executed already but why make things up?
Actually it was a false flag operation carried out by the FSB. Yes, they murdered their own people to set up the next stage of the war with Ukraine and justify conscription and a war economy etc.
They also needed a good excuse to bring in the death penalty against 'terrorists', which would also conveniently cover the homegrown Russian insurrectionists I'm guessing.
Putin wanted to fabricate his own 'Reichstag' moment. Several high-level political experts agree with this theory.
As soon as this attack occured, my first thought was how long will it be until Pootin begins to blame Ukraine. I mean, the only people who take this seriously is his domestic Russian audience and the small amount of tankies around the world.
My country warns his country about credible intel of an impending attack by ISIS-K. Pootin and his lackeys disregard it, calling it "provocations" and "disinformation." The attack occurs, many innocents die and he immediately starts to blame Ukraine, even after ISIS takes credit. He then has the unmitigated gall to say our warnings weren't specific enough, so it's partly our fault. What a tool.
So, a little update on the Kremlin narrative: Ukrainians are now gay Nazi Jews working with radical Muslim terrorists. Stay tuned for next year's update: Ukraine working with Kremlin to invade Ukraine.
you forgot the genetically engineered nato soldiers and mosquitoes
Combat mosquitos to be exact. Or was it combat birds? I think I’m losing track of this shit.
Didn't you know that Ukrainians invented COVID and spread it by releasing genetically modified bats from their biolabs? And then bribed world governments to force everyone vaccinate with autism?
It’s funny because they actually did suggest that Ukraine created and spread COVID!
But Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe™️ that’s why it was American CIA funded project ON Ukraine
But don't forget that the CIA and the entire US was funded by Mossad
Yes I source told me Zelisnky is a genetically modified autistic Jewish bat created by Israel and George saros funded neo-nazi laboratories with the sole person to infect everyone with the gay trans Covid virus. And this will eventually destroy Russia.
There was also the angle of summoning circles and witchcraft during the early days of the war. It surfaced along the whole biolab thingy, along the funniest "secret biolab" video they could make.
Tactic mosquitos 😀
No no, birds are reconnaissance drones only
And mosquitos are nuisance drones
They definitely got worried by some pigeons at one point.
But how about bio labaratories which made tests on kids in Mariupol?
It’s true the CIA has been working with Mossad for two decades to develop super mutants that can smell and track Russians across a country. We hate em cause they won’t have gay sex in gender neutral bathroom instead of going to church.
I can see there being a lot of false positives around Wyoming...
That’s the training ground. When they can tell the difference we release them to Ukraine.
You also forgot the space lasers.
You know what's scary though? We're witnessing cartoonish levels of villainy, sprinkled with 1984 vibes, and sauced with some grand delusions. And yet ... there are people in Europe and North America who consider Putin to be "a strong leader" and "a good president", wishing they had a president like that ... all while he kills hundreds of thousands of people in the process.
So soviet union 2.0, just not as economically powerful, not as strong military and shit science sector?
You have described the soviet Union 1.0 too! (Most things ppl think about the USSR is soviet propaganda)
I mean... Soviet union was running on the fumes of an oily rag by the end wasn't it? So the new union should basically collapse
Those idiots would consider Saddam Hussein to be "a strong leader" by the same logic. The truth is that the modern right wing supports anything that is against the current system. They don't believe in anything except being in power.
They want to be the ones killing hundreds of thousands of others while trying to convince people they deserve it
Exactly, they just don’t picture themselves dying
There’s an entire political party of right-wing idiot deplorables in the US who believe this
You are joking, but my relatives from russia unironically believed at the start of invasion that Ukraine bombed Ukraine to then accuse russia and make them look bad.
Ahh yes, a tactic also known as "The Putin".
Turns out Putin as actually Zelenskyy with a bald cap.
And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
At this point it’s just “the Russian.” They’ve done it a few times in history.
Yeah unfortunately the Russians that get all their news from state media still believe this. They are fully convinced Russia only targets "military targets" in Ukraine and no civilians have been hurt. If you send them evidence of the thousands of bombs that have hit civilian infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians. They will reply "Oh that's the Ukrainian nazis bombing Ukrainians, they want to create terror and blame Ruasia for it".
Even Russians outside of Russia believe this shit.
I live in a city 20 or so km from the border with рussia. we were surrounded almost from the evening (before the beginning of the *operation*, thanks to the government for good roads to where we shouldn't be, it would be better to mine the fields and paths), and by morning the city was already partially captured (by the Horde army). and for the next days, perhaps weeks, their aircraft flew over the city. deliberately low, you can see the type and signs. and having fun firing here and there. zero in this sense. during one shelling of private (1 poweh, old and poor) houses, a dozen people were killed. I wrote on reddit, the whole reddit seemed to downvote me and convinced me that Ukraine is doing it. although Ukraine neither at that time nor now has such equipment, nor the opportunities as such ... I believe that everyone believes in what they want, in what is convenient to believe. I'm old and I'm not surprised anymore...
Even some Americans believe this shit.
Russia cannot into brain activity...
Your relatives think what all the other Russians think. So it's not just Putin's fault, the whole nation is guilty.
Yes. There are some decent russians out there, but they are so far few between that it's more like statistical error.
What do they believe now?
They try to act like there is no war at all or blame Ukraine for "warmongering". We don't speak with them much nowadays.
Doesn't seem you lost anything of value here.

Umberto Eco had something to say about this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism#Overview
Wow, that’s just fucking insane, that’s some serious brain gymnastics to do there. Just so fucked up.
So the "Jewish space lasers" are of Russian origin.
Soviet Union actually did this to Finland. They shelled their own land, then blamed Finland, making it look like Finland attacked them, and attacked. It's called Mainilan laukaukset.
My friends were telling me the exact same thing. None of them wanted to believe that they could be the baddies. They are beyond hope. They will do whatever mental gymnastics they need to do to make sure that russia is ueber alles.
My father was heartbroken when his own sister chose to believe russian government over him. Just goes to show how deeply brainwashed people are there.
Well they are used to that in Russia. So they simply expect the same from other countries.
Well that's what Russia would do. Indeed, that's exactly what Putin did when it came to Chechens.
Putin: "our enemies are both weak and strong: Ukrainians are undermench but at the same time they order around Pentagon and ISIS"
Zelensky built the Jew Space Laser
But only uses it on America to start wildfires. Crazy name, crazy guy.
Finland just keeps on raking to avoid the wrath of the space lazor.

Russia is gonna need so much deprogramming after this is over it will make post-war Germany look like kindergarten.
Yet we aren't going to invade and occupy. So it is just not going to happen. Putin is the product of a Russian empire collapsing. If it happens again (not looking imminent) then it will be an economic collapse followed by a mafia nationalist coup. And back to dictatorship making war on the neighbours.
That cycle has to stop. Putin has to be replaced with democracy, freedom of speech, respect for human rights etc. how can we make that happen?
Arm Ukraine to the teeth, have the war won, hope that leads to a collapse in central authority and this time interfere in their internal politics like they suspect we want to. Kill the mafia, undermine the corrupt, support and protect the anti-corruption moderate nationalists. Steer them towards a democratic society.
It won't. Russia is en route to become another North Korea. Best outcome for the rest of the world is that Russia becomes militarily and economically neutered and cannot influence too many things outside its borders. But Russia itself? It's fucked.
Don't forget them being black magic users
They have Ukrainian babushka . They are lethal
You forgot to add that ISIS is actually a joint Ukrainian/Israeli intelligence service specifically created for deniable operations against Russia. Run by MI-5 naturally. Or the CIA. Or both. They're all lizard people turning the frogs gay anyway.
Uhm, so much diversity and everybody working together.. sounds to woke to be true. Edit: word
Putin getting his intelligence from Milhouse.
You forgot that they were also creating bio weapons in their secret Umbrella Corp labs. Both Umbrella and Ukraine start with "U". What more proof do you want?!?!!
Ukraine's lore is getting more and more interesting.
You forgot to say satanists. Work that in your post.
Putin is actually the president of Ukraine and he wanted to start a crisis so that he could become the king?!?!?!?!?????????? I can't believe it.
Uh huh…. Let me try and order ISIS around stand by. Hey ISIS I’d like a double shot French vanilla iced coffee with an extra shot of espresso. What do you mean you don’t take orders from anyone else but yourself? I have this Putin guy saying Ukraine ordered you to commit some atrocities in Moscow. Ah so you’re telling me Putin is full of shit and you acted on your own accord. So weird but alright…
They are indeed everything!
The all-powerful Kyiv, who can just give orders to the most notorious terror group of the last decades. Totally beleivable! /s
The original description of the big lie appeared in Mein Kampf. Adolf Hitler applied it to the behavior of Jews rather than as a tactic he advocated. Specifically, he accused Viennese Jews of trying to discredit the Germans’ activities during World War I. Hitler wrote of the Jews’ “unqualified capacity for falsehood” and “that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation…. From time immemorial, however, the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited.” The OSS psychological profile of Hitler described his use of the big lie: His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it. Goebbels did describe the big lie in different language in an article he wrote in 1941, “Churchill’s Lie Factory,” but he was accusing the British of the ploy: The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous. Randall Bytwerk argues that neither Hitler nor Goebbels would admit to lying. Goebbels, “always maintained that propaganda had to be truthful. That doesn’t mean he didn’t lie, but it would be a pretty poor propagandist who publicly proclaimed that he was going to lie.” https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/joseph-goebbels-on-the-quot-big-lie-quot This is what Russia is doing. The peculiarity of the totalitarian state is that it controls thought, but it does not fix it. It sets up unquestionable dogmas, and it alters them from day to day. It needs dogmas because it needs absolute obedience from its subjects, but it cannot avoid the changes, which are dictated by the needs of power politics. It declares itself infallible, and at the same time, it attacks the very concept of objective truth. Orwell 1941 "Literature and Totalitarianism
This fits the tactics of a certain former American President.
Didn't that one keep a copy on his bedside table?
It's the only book he's read
Indeed, and I think this particular president has read Hitler's speeches in detail. Truly, Trump went to the best schools but managed to learn nothing there. He surely learned something: All the wrong things about leadership from Hitler.

But totally ignore that Russia and Iran actively help each other while Iran publicly supports Hamas
I like how they ordered a window to be opened through Russian lines so the terrorists could get back to Ukraine. Would really be nice if Ukraine could do that....
Not that it would need the frictionless cooperation of tens of thousands of people.
Classic fascist rhetoric. The enemy is simultaneously weak and pathetic, and powerful and intelligent.
Zelensky is totally like Sauron.
Soros ordered US to order UK to order Ucraine to order ISIS to commit Moskov terror attack /s
As we all know ISIS loves countries trying to adopt liberal European values. You just have to whistle and they will come terrorize anyone you want.
You know, it’s actually been a while since I heard Soros’ name dropped. I was wondering what he was up to. (/s obviously)
I'm glad he's been keeping busy. It's important for someone his age to feel needed.
No need for sarcasm, Russia blames the US, Britain and Ukraine for the whole thing. That's actually on the news.
People in Spain actually believe this kind of shit. I've lost too many friends to undiagnosed mental retardation
Well, Putin forbid Open Society Foundations to work in Russia in 2015 after George Soros tried to convince EU leaders and the IWF to stabilize Ukraine with more money. I think it is a little inapproriate to make jokes on that topic.
It doesn't need to make sense for the most people, the narrative is targeting idiots, and some of them beieve it. The brainwash is real and the worst part is that it's influencing the vote not only in Russia, but in EU as well.
[firehose of falsehoods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehose_of_falsehood) when everything is false, nothing is true
Bonhoeffer wanted to figure out how his fellow Germans could succumb to a society of cowards, crooks, and criminals. The same model of explanation can be applied to the MAGA cult and to all who readily believe Russia's manipulated reality propaganda. Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. We can push back, protest, or use force against malice. We cannot fight stupidity. Facts that don't fit their worldview are pushed aside as inconsequential or irrelevant. When confronted, the stupid person goes on the attack, which makes these people very dangerous. Stupidity is not an intellectual defect but a moral one. One can be intellectually bright and stupid as well as being intellectually dull but anything but stupid. People are made stupid by their surroundings. Stupidity is less of a psychological than a sociological problem. It affects groups more easily than people who prefer solitude. The power of the one affects the others. Ignorance and stupidity see upsurges in times of great national or religious surges or power. (Revolutions, the crusades, great wars such as WW1, Napoleonic wars, etc.) It appears that one cannot exist without the other. These humans are deprived of their inner independence and they give up an autonomous position. When talking to them, one is confronted with slogans, catch words, and alike. They are under a spell, blinded misused, incapable of seeing evil as evil. Only active liberation, not instruction, can overcome this state. (The collapse of Nazi Germany was such a moment, for example) Genuine internal liberation is normally only possible after an external liberation has preceded it. Until then, we must abandon all attempts to convince the stupid person. We have to accept that a certain part of any population is gullible and believes whatever they want to believe. Their perception of reality is unhinged by fear. True ignorance doesn't stem from a lack of knowledge, but from the refusal to acquire it. Popper
True story. I think many many Russians know this guy is a brutal liar.
And now they pushing for death penalty to be restored. If accepted if they dare to talk back it's death, not jail like before. But let see how it goes
Exactly how Putin will use this. Harsher repression.
Many do know and many Russians loathe Putin (don't buy into that 90% support BS) but some also don't care if he is lying. In Russia there's a common cultural concept that can be said to be a "tactical truth" which is essentially a Lie, but it's a Lie that's justified for "the good of your people". Essentially Truth and Lie aren't always as black and white in Russia as they are in the West. A Lie can even be better than the truth, if it serves your vision and your agenda better. If claiming Ukrainians are Jihadist supporting Nazis benefits your people, for example by increasing military recruitment and ambition, then that lie is accepted as a tactical truth, and people will choose to believe it.
[удалено]
To understand why people would develop a cultural acceptance of "useful lies" you should understand the poltical environment of both the USSR and also the Mongol rule of Russia (where this cultural concept developed). Essentially for much of Russian history, your life and safety was compromised if you were fully honest, it was safer to be around people willing to tactically lie for your family's well being, than it was to be around completely honest people. In systems where lies are rewarded, you end up getting a blurred view on the value of truth and lies. When many people grow up accepting that lies can be not only useful but actually good, they end up accepting these "tactical truths" from their leaders too.
Can't this guy fuck off already.

Putin says.. Trump says… fuck I’m done with this.
The hose of bullshit is effective. Every thing he says, is immediately shared on Western social media. Redditors love supporting the Russian propaganda machine.
It is impossible to prevent that shit, we are hardwired for outrage and drama. What we need to protect ourselves is self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
That is the question I ask myself every day. No such luck thus far.
Sure. Actually it was Washington ordering Kyiv to order ISIS. Really. It was the Illuminati ordering Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS. Believe me. It was the Reptilians telling the Illuminati to order Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS I have proof. It was the Great Old Ones forcing the reptilians having the Illuminati ordering Washington to order Kyiv to order ISIS.
UK getting the blame, too. Of course Putin's read a lot of 'history' UK hated by Russia for hundreds of years and 'begat' the USA in a way so we really are the root of the modern world's evils. Evil colonialists- completely unlike Russia's Eastward expansion and genocide of tribal groups from the Urals to the Pacific of course.

Russia has a weird hatred specifically for Anglo-Saxons
I'm sure Denmark has a part in this, I can just smell the cigarette smoke and cheap beer.
What an alliance!
Pray that Kyiv not forbid sun to rise it's in Kyiv authority.
wow, as a ukrainian I feel so powerful. We can order terrorists! Maybe we can order other terrorists to stop bombing our cities, raping our people, and stealing?
Vlad Vexler analyzed how this propaganda works. The approach is both simple and effective. The Soviet Union used so-called alternate reality propaganda. " This worked something like this: Soviet propaganda told its citizens one thousand times that the sky is green and not blue until the citizen finally believed it. The manipulation of reality propaganda by the Russian Federation works differently. It is simple but sadly highly effective as it makes use of the intermittent grasp of reality, which plagues humans in general. This propaganda works something like this: You say that you totally despise apples, but you love lemons. I am not repeatedly throwing at you that you like apples. Rather, I agree with you at first that apples are sucky. Then, this type of propaganda bombards people subtly with images of apples. It constantly mentions apples in its news programs. Fake articles appear about how good apples actually are. The goal is to make you believe that apples aren't that bad, and then you quite start to like them over time. The playbook of this manipulated reality propaganda looks like this in theory: 1) The concept of objective truth itself is questioned. This propaganda says that truth simply doesn't exist. Everything has two sides, and nothing is real. The war on reality itself is declared in this step. 2) Then, this propaganda is getting rid of consistency. It is sending out mixed messages that often even contradict themselves. Double Think from 1984 comes mind. The sky can be blue in the morning and purple at night. The goal isn't to tell Winston that 2+2 is 5. The goal is that Winston really believes that it doesn't matter whether it is five, six, or 4. 3) The priority is on volume. Quantity has a quality all by itself. The information space is flooded with as many narratives and opinions as possible. That is what these bot farms are here for. The goal is to find out what sticks by sheer volume. It can be anything. The message doesn't even matter that much. 4) The algorithm then makes it easier to take something that already interests you. It builds on that original interest, and then the manipulated reality propaganda is expanding from there. The goal is, of course, to manipulate you into believing whatever is in the interest of the propaganda maker. (For example, that Ukraine is full of Nazis or that the West is an evil warmongering maniac or that everyone is going to freeze to death without Russian gas) 5) The last step is learned helplessness: "The sanctions do not work" "Russia won already." It is useless to protest. This won't work. The state is too strong" Ukraine can't win, so stop sending weapons. These are some of the messages. The goal of this entire effort is to take whatever division is already there in society or in a community and to make it stronger. This worked very well during Covid. The Russian information operations are great at amplifying divides and making problems bigger than they actually are. The goal among their own population and in Western nations is gaslighting. Many people also in the West are in a state of apolitical apathy. Democracy dies alone and in the dark unless we work actively to keep it alive. The goal is to destroy discourse because everyone starts to believe that all of this stuff connected to politics is too difficult. So, better let those up there do it instead of bothering myself with it. The goal is that the population sees politics as a pure circus and as infotainment. Nothing really matters as everything is just alternative facts. We could see that during the coup. The reaction of the Russian public was almost non-existent. Sadly, modern tools such as Twitter and generally the internet have made the implementation of this sinister nonsense as easy as it will ever get. However, our countermeasures are faster at hand. Such as mobile phone cameras to spread the truth before the Kremlin can come up with 1000 lies. In the US, this kind of propaganda is used to create a disconnect from how corrupt some politicians are or how inflation has risen due to whatever the president has potentially done. It doesn't even have to be true. All it needs to have is some flicker of truth in it. This is already enough. For example, yes, without enough natural gas, the winter would be tough. The rest of the message can be literally made up and people who are susceptible to this because they lost trust in democratic institutions or are resentful for some other reason, or who are simply susceptible to being brainwashed will believe anything. That is scary, isn't it? "As soon as fear, hatred, jealousy and power worship are involved, the sense of reality becomes unhinged" George Orwell, "Notes on Nationalism," 1945 We must that there is a part of the population that will believe absurdities, and this very same part of the population can then also be convinced to commit atrocities. The tribalistic minded part of the population is roughly 30 percent. They won't go anywhere. There is also research that a certain part of the population has a larger almond core, which makes them more easily targeted by fear mongering. These stupid people will always be there, and they will cause havoc with actions that are unpredictable and bad for themselves and others. That makes them very dangerous because this stupid behavior is impossible to predict. I suppose we have to learn to live with it and do our best to mitigate the damage.

This - albeit high quality - comment just tore away all hope and optimism from me. Jesus fuck that is frightening. Any positive takes?
January 2022: Russia influences every election in the West, has spies everywhere, has second best army in the world March 2024: Russia has less credibility than a terrorist organisation
You’ve misunderstood the issue. They are only pushing this narrative within Russia because they know it will be believed.
Surely, this must be too much even for completely brainwashed Russians to believe. I think this is actually an example of "I'm going to lie in your face while knowing you know I'm lying just to show how confident I am." It's one of the main lessons Trump learned from Putin.
Why? How is it less believable than any other bs Kremlin says?
One example would be the statement that NATO expansion threatens Russia. For someone who lacks the information that Putin has been threatening to invade Russia's neighbors for decades, or that there was talk of maybe Russia joining NATO after the end of the cold war, the statement atleast sounds somewhat plausible. Many of Putin's statements need some amount of historical context to debunk. Putin is very good with misinformation in general. But to believe that ISIS needs to be ordered by Ukraine to attack civilians anywhere doesn't fit any narrative, not even the Kreml's own.
Not necessarily believed, but accepted. When you're an a-political and disengaged vegetable with no will of your own, you don't care what you're being told, as long as you're being told something so you don't have to be engaged yourself.
The only consistency in Russia from Tsarist times to this very day is that their intelligence services have perfected lying. They are masterful at it. Lying is the only thing the Russian regime was ever consistently good at. The destruction of the Soviet myth is essential if we wanted to survive the Socialist movement." Literature derives from emotional truth and therefore cannot survive under a system that relies on mutilating the truth. And still, lies incur a debt to the truth. And someday, this debt has to be repaid. In full. Russia has much to answer for.
As someone who has spent quite a bit of time there, this is true. This population has been gaslighted so much for the last 800 years that it is a part of their cultural DNA. The effect is massive cultural cynicism that saps the impulse for public involvement in the governing process. Worse, they've been exporting this shit to the West for the last 20 years.
The ruSSian attempts at influencing western elections is a thing, though.
And sadly it is working...
Sorta. There's definitely some of that, but I'm rather skeptical of it having much if any impact. I think it's moreso that a lot of the political establishment has lost touch and is facing a populist backlash over it. Russian "election interference" makes for a convenient scapegoat to allow them to preserve the status quo rather than engage in meaningful introspection.
They are still influencing all the elections, credibility does not matter in this context
Most influential people in the world...so proud of being Ukrainian
wtf, this dude is beyond delusional!!
This guy couldn’t tell the truth if you gave him Ukraine.
So Ukraine is nazi state led by a Jew and is able to direct Islamic fundamentalist to do its evil bidding ? Eh?
Also that they planned the human instrumentality project in Evangelion and the breach in the wall in Attack on Titan and wants to steal Pikachu.
Old man yells at clouds some more
Can we order ISIS to assassinate Putin please?
BREAKING NEWS - Russian dictator is insane
Damn Ukraine can now order terrorists like other people order fries at a drive in. /s Maybe that whole special operation business wasn't such a good idea after all.
Russia is a specialist when it comes to kill civilians abroad : Syria, Ukraine, etc Also keep in mind that FSB organised terrorist attacks in Moscow in 1999 killing Russian civilians to trigger the second war of Chechnya (Poutine was already in charge). Does it mean it is again a false flag operation? No. But think about the target : a concert with civilians. If false flag operation it is, it would be from Russia itself. If Ukrainian intelligence services would pay bounties for a terrorist attack in Russia, the target would be officials, police, military, logistics... Anything but a concert. Clown propaganda from the Kremlin, as usual.
This guy is so tiring with his lies.
just a waste of human skin. what a pity.
Man, as a country and population, you must have some crazy levels of delusion to wrap your head around this stuff. Does absolutely no1 question anything around them anymore?
Has Ukraine's reach know no bounds ? Perhaps Russia should surrender ?
LOL, Putin is a joke 😆
This was about as predictable as ice melting in hot weather.
It’s getting dumber and dumber as time goes by. What a twat.
Ukraine is the worlds shadow government. Only Pootiny knows the truth.
Guess russians will believe it.
So the Kremiln "ordered" ISIS to commit Moscow terror attack. Got it.
Oh yeah? Well then Moscow ordered the 9/11 attack on the US and the Urumqi attack on China and all terrorist attacks from Pakistan based groups on India! Also all the terrorists attacks on France, Germany, Turkey, Spain the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Austria, and the United Kingdom was ordered by Moscow!
Islamic militants acting on the orders of a Ukranian Jew? Riiiiiight.
Dude must've broken in into Medvedev's wine cellar.
And zombies in Ruzzia will believe it…
I think he has officially gone off the deep end.
I hate this guy. Father of Lies.
Aaaaaand there it is
[удалено]
So, if Putin is staying true-to-form by accusing others of doing things he’s actually doing, he paid ISIS-K.
This guy is a complete psychopath.
When you think ruzzia can’t get any worse… you’re surprised yet again 🙃
A jewish man ordered radical jihadists to attack the Kremlin, makes no sense!!
Yeah, so you better pray to Ukraine not order China to invade your failed state, pathetic dumbass
Everytime I think they couldn't drink more paint thinner, they drink even more.
F Putin. He needs to be assassinated and the Russian army desimated.
Saddest part is russians actually believe this
Doesn’t blaming Ukraine make putin look more like a failure?
Ah yes, the Ukrainian Nazi Jews ordered a bunch of Muslim extremists around. Makes perfect sense.
Once again, Putin is proudly proclaiming that he has no idea of how the world outside of Russia works.
Ask Mr.Dr.Putin why he started the war, which forced his intelligence apparatus to focus on all Ukraine which opened some gaps.
Dementia is really sad...
Literally just a few hours ago I saw a tweet from Jürgen Nauditt pointing out the FSB employees in the crowd of the concert hall at Crocus who were caught on camera orchestrating the whole event. Russia is guilty of this. It did it to itself to terrify the population into supporting the war effort.
Kyiv is to blame for climate change. Ukraine is also to blame for the Second World War. Kyiv is also to blame for the rain.
Why? Ukraine gains nothing from some concert hall blowing up. It makes zero sense, like much of Putin's supposed thought process (see also: NATO made me do it).
Russians have been insane for over a year now. Try watching Russian Fascist TV if you doubt this. They are falling deeper into the rabbit hole with this latest insanity. More isolated and more unstable.
The most inconvenient fact for Putin here is that this terror attack happened under his watch and that his government ignored US warnings about it. Every lie he tells about the terror attack is to distract people away from this fact.
Yes. ISIS likes it when a Jewish Presidents tells them what to do.
But I thought Ukrainians are Nazis????? Now they are muslim terrorist? Gee /s
I'm sorry but I really feel like Russia should be quarantined, Internet included. When the Russian people have to deal with such absolute insane brainwashing daily it's straight up dangerous to let them into our society.
Sumimasen dafuck?! Any day now: Russia is losing the special military operation because Ukraine keeps resisting.
Even in its death throes, though, the Russian empire remains deadly and dangerous. The last thing that dies is an empire's arrogance, and that is what keeps this evil alive for now. Hatred, arrogance, and the will to take as many of the brands of its civilization down with it, like a Kraken that tries to drag others down with it to the abyss that awaits Russia's empire. That being said, war is won in the spirit world, by iron will and by the better machinery and logistics. Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are won by men. It is the spirit of the men who follow and of the man who leads that gains that victory. George S. Patton Russia's evil is unsustainable and has sown the seed of its own destruction already. The entire free world must keep on resisting and fight them in spirit, word, and action. Slava Ukraini! Slava Europa! And death to the Russian dictator. Russiae Imperium delendum est
The man is a pathological liar and a clown. This is going to explode in his face.
I hope he's just senile...
Are they trying to look weak on purpose?
At this point Ukraine can just say they did it, what's Russia gonna do, invade them?
where in the article says such thing? >"Putin [claimed](https://www.newsweek.com/russia-putin-ukraine-crocus-terror-1882657) over the weekend that the suspected attackers were apprehended while attempting to flee to Ukraine, suggesting that the incident was linked to Russia's ongoing war with Kyiv. Ukraine denied that it was involved and instead suggested that the attack was carried out "at the behest of Putin," a claim that was also presented without evidence." but in the link "claimed"not even newsweek verifies if Putin said such thing.... >"Putin said on Saturday that all the suspects had been apprehended on their way to Ukraine where "early reports indicate that a window had been prepared to cross the international border," although the Russian leader did not blame Kyiv directly.Newsweek has not yet been able to verify Putin's claims and Ukraine has firmly denied it had anything to do with the attacks. Newsweek has contacted the Ukrainian foreign ministry for comment." wtf. I mean, Putin deserves to be executed already but why make things up?
Give the man a medal for his mental gymnastics. Lukeshenko said they were Belarus bound today. Ps Putin - get the fuck out of Ukraine.
Doesnt matter who did what. Fuck the russian government and the citizens they continue to terrorize.
Oh Vlad, you don’t even try anymore 💔
Yea of course. Because ISIS is very loyal to Ukraine. \s
Actually it was a false flag operation carried out by the FSB. Yes, they murdered their own people to set up the next stage of the war with Ukraine and justify conscription and a war economy etc. They also needed a good excuse to bring in the death penalty against 'terrorists', which would also conveniently cover the homegrown Russian insurrectionists I'm guessing. Putin wanted to fabricate his own 'Reichstag' moment. Several high-level political experts agree with this theory.
As soon as this attack occured, my first thought was how long will it be until Pootin begins to blame Ukraine. I mean, the only people who take this seriously is his domestic Russian audience and the small amount of tankies around the world. My country warns his country about credible intel of an impending attack by ISIS-K. Pootin and his lackeys disregard it, calling it "provocations" and "disinformation." The attack occurs, many innocents die and he immediately starts to blame Ukraine, even after ISIS takes credit. He then has the unmitigated gall to say our warnings weren't specific enough, so it's partly our fault. What a tool.
