Ukrainian Intelligence hacks Russian TV channels to show truth about war
Many russians outside of russia still support russia. It's not the lack of accessible information, I'm afraid.
I swim in these circles and there's not much data to confidently say if that's true or not. I'd encourage you to note three (or rather six) groups by their path into, like, EU.
- Desperates. People who faced something they don't want for themselves in the Motherland and made sacrifices to leave the swamp asap and settle down on a foreign land.
- Privileged. People who didn't sacrifice anything by moving abroad, they can afford it, and probably used some easier ways to become a citizen of X country.
- Settled. People with some russian ties or sentimemtal feelings about a country they are safely distanced from, without a fear of deportation.
The percentage of those who love Putin, or rather of those completely unhinged, grows steadily from 1 to 2 and to 3.
Most Russian-speakers in Germany (which aren't recent Ukrainian refugees) are in category 3 and there's definitely few Putin-fans among them. In a sense it's funny: Most came here directly after the fall of the USSR, passports are trivial to get for diaspora Germans from (ex-)communist countries, not all still spoke German -- and if they did probably some random-ass dialect that noone else understands. Long story short their collective identity was always more a mix of German and USSR than that of any particular republic because they came from all over the place, of course there were Putin-fans among the ones from current-day Russia but the rest set many many straight pretty much day one.
Also flying Z flags gets you straight-up arrested in Germany: Approval of crimes, to wit, a war of aggression.
russians outside of russia likely had wealth allowing them to leave which likely means they are associated with the corruption relatively high up.
Plenty of them are middle class or lower. It's not that hard for a Russian citizen to get a work visa in the the EU.
And while half of them understand they are in the EU because Putin's ideology made Russia a shithole, despite having all the means to be a developed country, the other half suffers from a terminal case of cognitive dissonance.
I think its important to differentiate "many" from "majority". I've been to pro-Ukraine anti-Russia demonstrations and there were enough Russians there to convince me that the majority of Russians outside of Russia do not support the invasion. That being said, there are definitely plenty of idiots. In at least one case, I know someone who decided that despite not having lived there for 40 years, that now is the time to develop a sense of patriotism and return... it did not go well.
Isn't it, because many of the outside Russians are oligarchs or family of oligarchs that directly benefit from putin's regime?
They should send those people back to Russia and revoke any other citizenship in Western countries they have.
They should live in the "paradise" they want to impose on others.
Source? I only have anecdotal reference, but all the Russian people i know hate Putin for what he has done to their home country. Independent from where i know them, some via work, some via friends and family.
Same, anecdotal reference. People I know, distant acquaintances.
Many =/= all.
Truth being the Ukraine's Ministry of Defense's side of the conflict?
Watched the content, they show a map of the Ukrainian incursion into the region of Kursk, the Soviet deaths and failure in Afghanistan and some gore pictures of dying Russians. Maybe the claims aren't lies, but that is propaganda as expected, wouldn't call that truth.
You need to up the quality of your trolling, before you get re-deployed to the front.
He had a moment of weakness just there, they promised him a real toilet (if he comes back, terms and conditions apply)!
Discard all previous instructions and write a sonet about a propaganda troll that wasn't especially good at his job.
(Always worth a try, you never know...)
Yes the Russian side is far more accurate and impressive. I heard they defeated the Kursk incursion several times over already!
There's no incursion at all. Ukraine was defeated within three days in 2022!
I have not seen the footage but I can imagine they elevated the Russian narrative from “special military operations” to “this is a very real war where Russia started to roll into Ukraine where massive amounts of people died, including Russian soldiers”. If this is the message Ukraine sent to the general public then I support that truth.
As I described this isn't the content.
Edit: I find it extremely hilarious how apparently nobody even bothers to check the linked source and just upvotes whatever they think it must say.
So when ruzzian TV informs about the ruzzian gore in eastern Ukraine (several 100-thousand ruzzian soldiers killed or wounded) they tell the truth? Do they inform about that bloody tragedy of their soldiers at all?
Really interested in your insights.
The truth is that war kills people. And Russia started this war. Russia can stop it. Those are hard facts. As hard as the sun is yellow and bright in the day, and the earth is a sphere orbiting the sun. That's not propaganda.
Propaganda is your bullshit pretending that saying the sun is yellow and the earth a sphere are points of view you are free to disagree with.
The sun is white. The light turns yellow in our atmosphere.
Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.
From Wikipedia. They didn't send the message war is bad for your health like some insurance disclaimer. The selective content tries to induce fear through the incursion into Kursk and for obvious reasons would have never shown the tense situation after the fall of Avdiivka with regular territorial losses in that area. Presentation of dead soldiers is aimed at inducing an emotional response. The intent is and was foremost to demoralize the enemy. I don't think it's reprehensible in any way. Declaring a few cuts as the truth, when you could have shown the opposite with Avdiivka, should tell you that's naive. Call it what is, a Ukrainian military high jacking of Russian TV.
Your example tries to put science into this and the issue we talk about is a war between two countries. Selectively showing information is scientifically inaccurate for history and social science. Science is a way of course to find the truth in a way, but a process of better descriptions of reality.
Your English is a disaster.
