It’s still practically impossible to carry out a conversation nowadays if one brings up any historical facts about Ukraine, including the suggestion that the West is even remotely at fault for the conflict, so overwhelming and ubiquitous has been the narrative that Putin attacked Ukraine illegally and unprovoked.

The “Neocons” wanted and planned this battle, because they reckoned they could get away with it, as post Soviet Russia was weakened.

Liberal bootlickers for CIA regime change are as devoted to the spread of democratic freedom as elite ultraconservative Nazi aristocrats were to the advancement of socialism.

Will the truth accepted by many ever be accepted by the MSM? I think not.

As such, they lose credibility. The MSM Covid and Biden state of mind mea culpas are sung to the same tune.

MSM has never told the truth. They’ve always been the pathway to deliver government propaganda. Just like our primary schools, and universities, they rarely speak any truth. Yale thought it was ok to have Ben Gvir come and speak, just yesterday. A fucking psychopathic, genocidal, war criminal! In response to protesters, the propaganda machine (university) revoked the registration status of a student who was protesting against the war criminal coming to speak.

putinista accusations as confessions

tell us about Nazis - like the violent, armed russian nationalist militias openly embraced by kkkremlin and much of society. Several have official representation in the Russian Armed Forces.

Russian Imperial Movement

Rusich Group

Slavic Union

Great Russia

Russian National Union

And half a dozen more.

Tell us about oppressed journalists and opposition figures, like;

Alexei Navalny, Boris Nemtsov, Mikhail Lesin, Anna Politkovskaya, Stanislav Markelov & Anastasia Baburova, Natalya Estemirova, Boris Berezovsky, Yuri Shchekochikhin, Valeriya Novodvorskaya,, Magnitsky, Yushenkov, Litvenenko, Vorenenkov, and .. at least Kara-Murza survived.

And oligarchs and war critics falling out of windows next; Ravil Maganov, Vladimir Shklyarov,

Nikolay Andrushchenko, Akhmednabi Akhmednabiyev, Pavel Antov, Alexander Shchetinin, Yuri Shchekochikhin ....

Boris Johnson spin me

Consolidation of power was happening well before war and it's only natural that this process accelerated during the ongoing conflict, which demands aldo concentration and mobilization of resources.

Zelensky is unlikely to win a second term(only once a ukranian prezident served 2 terms and it was rather due to unique circumstances) and if anything else, there is plenty of armed man with strong beliefs and not much to lose

One small detail. Young man are not drafted. Lowest age for conscription is 25
