I care about what the Russian government says.
I ignore propaganda unless it comes from the government.
This is the funny thing, today, the Russian government is more credible than the American government is.
mostly reader says
I realize I can still be seeing propaganda from a government official. I know that, but who am I listening to? Some asshole on Russian television?
I expect and understand propaganda is used, but I don't know how much control the Russian government has over their media. In the US, it's absolute now.
Like Youtube - which is Google. IF they make their money from the advertisements there (and they don't) they would want to have as many viewers as possible. Instead, they engage in very clear political censorship. As a result, there is Rumble, Odysee, Bitchute, Brand New Tube, Brighteon, Daily Motion, D-live (live only), Freevoice, New Tube, and others that exist ONLY BECAUSE youtube does censorship. Rumble is a clear competitor, Bitchute is as well. I see cute dog and cat videos on Rumble too, it's very general.
Our media, is all government controlled. This is an error. The government needs feedback so they can know when they are fucking wrong, and doing something stupid. That was the strength of our country once.
I don't know how much Russian media is controlled, but it can't be worse than the USSR's control.
So here's the summary:
- I point out a specific pattern in Russian-biased propaganda

That reference to Russian-biased sources was a fundamental part of my point. Which, I see, escaped you.

Could be staged, quite easily.
BTW that monitor is quite odd. I understand there's widespread poverty there, but that monitor looks like a late 1990's television or computer screen. You can tell both by the thickness of it, and the size of it.

Russians and Ukrainians pride themselves in making items last for generations. They consider the west quite wasteful and lacking in resourcefulness when westerners replace serviceable equipment. Also, not sure that area has transitioned to OTA digital broadcasts. May still need a SECAM TV to get television.

I'd agree the west is quite wasteful.
I'm on a 7 year old computer. I'll upgrade when it becomes worthwhile to reduce the energy consumption and I'm not certain that will happen any time soon. This thing is still a beast but eventually, the cost of the energy to power this will require it to be replaced.
A product is proportional to the energy it takes to make, when a product's energy consumption outstrips the cost of the device + the energy consumption, time to dump it. This machine I'm on, can simulate every machine I ever owned up until 2000, and uses less energy than the original machines used to do it. If I want to play a Playstation 1 or an SNES, it doesn't make sense to use the original hardware in any sense.
Quite an impressive time we live in. BTW - both of those machines can be simulated on a 10 watt raspberry pi computer. It's mind blowing.

The question is, what did Putin have to lose by moving in troops to “save Ukraine from the evil west and Nazis.” It would seem that what he had to lose was small compared to the goal in mind. I don’t claim to know fully what his aims are but it seems to me he is holding all the cards and the longer the Ukrainian President holds out seeking handouts from the west to prolong the war, the more the Ukrainian President is responsible for the prolonged suffering of the Ukrainian people.
Ukraine only has two choices, serve the western oligarchs, or serve the Russian oligarchs. Putin seems to want to save the Ukrainian people from the western oligarchs, and has dared the west to stop him. The west won’t stop him, and he knows it. Do you think Mitt Romney or Joe Biden care about the Ukrainian people? They don’t even care about the American people as they sit in their Ivory towers and their sons literally rake in millions of dollars from the a Ukrainian energy industry.
So if Ukraine has any sensibility they will realize that they can end the war today, and only they can end it. Even Putin can’t end it because that would defeat the purpose of the exercise, which was to save Ukraine from the evil western oligarchs and their Nazi brigades. And the western oligarchs are just as responsible for the suffering of the Ukrainian people, because they offer false hope that aid from the west will turn the tide. It won’t, it will only prolong the suffering of the Ukrainian people and impoverish with working (middle class and poor) people of the west who have nothing to do with this conflict of oligarchs. To Russia this is similar to USA’s Vietnam war, except even more personal to them because the people they came to save speak Russian! And while I’m sure Putin would prefer not to destroy infrastructure of Ukraine, he , like the American Generals in Vietnam might believe they have to destroy some villages in order to save them.
I don’t condone what Putin is doing, but let’s be honest American presidents have done similar or worse. And while what Putin is doing might not be morally pure, he does hold all the cards. That is, unless the west is willing to take him out? Of course the last time America took out a dictator it ruined Iraq and essentially made it a staging area of Iran and other enemies of the USA. Be careful what you wish for. Putin is bad, but getting rid of him is probably much worse for Russia, Ukraine and the American people than just giving him what he wants.
Patrick saysI think you're right @richwicksAbout Russia not losing? This may be a good time to put ourselves on record, just to see who's model is closer to reality. We just need to define what "losing" vs "not losing" is.

From what I hear, and of course that is suspect and unreliable, is that the NeoNazis of Ukraine think they will be tried, then executed if Ukraine surrenders.
Ukraine is run by criminals, just like our nation is. If they lose in this war, it's the end for them, and if they are psychopaths (like our nation's "leaders" are) they have nothing to lose by fighting to the end.
Governments do not work for their populace. That's been my conclusion for over a decade. Governments work to sustain themselves. It's just a mafia.
PeopleUnited says
It's a false dichotomy, that it's good versus evil. It's just evil against evil. The West is the salvation of the current criminals in power, not the people under them.
PeopleUnited says
I'd LIKE to think this, but no - the Russian government doesn't care. They are concerned about NATO weaponry, they don't care about the people in the Donbass, if they did, this would have happened over 7 years ago.
PeopleUnited says
We will see. That's what is interesting about this, the destruction doesn't seem to compare to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya or Syria - but I can only see what is offered to me.
PeopleUnited says
I don't know if he is.
I hope the war is short, with minimal deaths. I think Ukraine has no hope in this war, and should have never fought it, they should immediately surrender. I think the only difference between immediate surrender and fighting, is how many people die. I think Ukraine should have accepted Russia's demands MONTHS ago, and I think, perhaps incorrectly, that this war would have been avoided.
I blame the United States for this. I blame them because I'm absolutely convinced that the US overthrew Ukraine and then made false promises. War is just state sanctioned murder but I also realize if you cannot reason with an aggressor, you have to murder.
All of this could have been avoided, but we have psychopaths in power.
It's a terrible situation, but my criminal murderous government, seems to delight in them. I want us to be a moral nation again, but the problem is that our population doesn't recognize we have an immoral government, and won't hang the bastards.

The Russian government was caught lying multiple times but our very skeptical friend has a blind spot for it. Remember loud assurances that "there is no plans to invade Ukraine" as late as mid-Feb? How about "there are no conscripts fighting in Ukraine" followed by admission that there are indeed conscripts sent to fight in Ukraine after videos of them taken POW has surfaced? SO! FUCKING! CREDIBLE!

The two most destructive ideologies in my lifetime (Marxism and Islamism) have often been joined at the hip in their hostility to the West.

The US government has lied about
* The Nayirah testimony to start Operation Desert Storm
* The Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan making chemical weapons so Clinton could blow it up to distract from Monica Lewinsky's dress.
* A weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq to start the 2nd Iraq War
* Assad using chemical weapons so the US could bomb it, try to remove Russia's military base in Tartus, and to put in an oil mining operation for Genie Energy
* Qaddafi "causing a humanitarian crisis" so the US could bomb it, creating an humanitarian crisis.
* Russian Collusion
* Clinton having done no wrong by placing classified materials on a server that was known to have been compromised
* Opium cultivation in Afganistan which was under US military occupation - that's PART of the reason we were there.
* PROBABLY 9/11
* Hunter Biden's laptop, and yes, it appears that if some of those images are real, Hunter Biden is a legitimate pedophile.
* The "pandemic" and the effectiveness of several drugs.
So, what are Russia's big lies?
richwicks saysThis is the funny thing, today, the Russian government is more credible than the American government is.This is not the funny thing. This is the funniest thing. The funniest thing that I heard all day.
You are comparing cold to cancer, match burn to autodafe, paper cut to decapitation. And your comparison is reversed.

You've never even bothered to look into it. You're just repeating what you saw on television. That's the depth of your thinking, repeating what you saw on a glowing propaganda box.
The same folks that are now cheering on Putin are the same sorts that think 9/11 was an inside job and America

@ChauvinsKnee People like you are so full of shit.
Ukraine is accepting volunteers to fight. I'll buy you a plane ticket if you like, but I see you off at the gate.
You mother fuckers just love war, until you have to fight it. Fucking warmongering chickenhawks. The US has been at 20 years of war, what good has any of the wars been for this nation, or the people of this nation? But you braying asses keep clamoring for it, as if it shows some bravery to do it.
richwicks saysI think Ukraine has no hope in this war, and should have never fought it, they should immediately surrender.
Not everybody is a cuck.

It's pretty clear that Ukrainians do not share your ideas on what to do when their country is invaded. You think they should fold. They think they should fight tooth and nail. And they do.
If looked at it objectively the position to lay down arms and surrender to the invading force is kinda similar to letting somebody fuck your wife. Would you?
