Timothy Williams5 said:RIA, a Russian news agency, is claiming that Putin actually enjoys support among the public in the United Kingdom, citing various comments pulled from the Daily Mail:

“He’s right; the British Empire was the worst thing in history,” remarks Trevor Bradley.
"American global hegemony is over, and the U.S. leadership needs to be hauled before a war crimes tribunal," writes Mannyriber.
"I agree with him. Russia has every right to defend itself against NATO aggression. They weren't given a choice but to launch the special operation in Ukraine," argues Kotete.
"The issue is that when I listen to Putin or Lavrov, I hear speech that is well-founded, clear, and makes sense. The rhetoric from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson sounds like nothing more than pure boasting. And President Joe Biden just talks absolute nonsense. Some of his words aren't even intelligible," shares the opinion of Thingonaswing.

A state-run news agency, you say? 🤣🎉🐔

Good grief, where on earth did these people get stuck in history...

They've been pulling this stunt for ages. Paid trolls jump into a comment section, and then RIA picks up those comments and presents them as hard evidence that Russia has massive grassroots support over in the UK.

It's the same old manipulation we've seen a million times. Looks like the propagandists are finally running out of fresh ideas.

Check out this example from back in 2021.

Ria novost and other similar state Media of Russia as of recent years been favoring a particularly curious form of reporting.
This "report" is based entirely on a comment made by an anonymous user "Rob" to a Daily Mail article (followed by comments of "London99" and "Nhskid"). https://twitter.com/Vokabre/status/1...8ElYkhLc-oNXRw

And remember Marve on the forum who was backing them up? What a disaster.

Also, does anyone else remember the absolute mountain of conspiracy theories they were pumping out about the crash of that Malaysia Airlines flight?
It’s a calculated playbook, honestly. Just muddy the waters with as many lies as possible so that once the sludge gets thick enough, nobody can actually spot the truth through the mess.

So, looking at the news this morning, they hit an apartment building near Odessa.

17 people are dead. I'm sure the disinformation campaign is already gearing up to spin this one too.

⚡️Update: Russian missile strike on Odesa Oblast kills at least 17, injures 31.

Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported on July 1 that Russia's missile assault on a high-rise in a town in Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky District in Odesa Oblast killed 14 people and injured 30. https://t.co/Fm6x1Qo5ix

bluerider63 said:Huge difference there. That first shot shows this little circle of elites acting all cozy while some of them spent the last couple of years running totalitarian lockdowns back home, but I guess that whole propaganda angle just isn't landing anymore.

Right on. And let's not forget how "democratic" all those measures in Russia were supposed to be. Man, it’s funny how quickly that propaganda gets swept under the rug, along with all the old Russian lies and the final body count at the end of it all.

Perhaps the most well-publicized tech tool in America's arsenal for fighting coronavirus is Washington's massive facial-recognition system. Rolled out earlier this year, the surveillance system had originally prompted an unusual public backlash, with privacy advocates filing lawsuits over unlawful surveillance.

Jessica Peterson2 said:Regarding the whole "death toll over the last eight years" debate (which seems to be the favorite mantra of every bearded or clean-shaven Putin supporter out there), that number according to UNHCR data sits somewhere between 14,200 and 14,400 for the period of April 12, 2014, to December 31, 2021.
Breaking that down:
- Ukrainian armed forces: roughly 4,400
- Rebel paramilitary groups: roughly 6,500
- Civilian population on both sides: 3,404, which includes the 298 passengers from the MH17 flight.

Even if we assume a hypothetical fifty-fifty split, where the number of civilian casualties on the rebel side reaches 1,553—meaning about 194 deaths per year, or roughly 16 per month.
The total population of the so-called "DNR/LNR" regions is 3.3 million.

I realize this kind of math feels incredibly cynical when we're discussing lost lives, but the numbers simply don't support the idea of a "civilian massacre perpetrated by the Kyiv Nazi regime," which is the primary argument Putin uses to justify the invasion of Ukraine... or do they?

I actually read somewhere that more people were killed in that recent missile strike on Kremenchuk than all the civilian casualties recorded throughout all of 2020 and 2021 in Donbas combined.

So, get this—the Chinese phone giant Honor just pulled the plug on their sales over in Russia.

#Chinese smartphone manufacturer #Honor, which used to be part of #Huawei, has officially halted all device shipments to the #Russian market, according to #Russian media outlets. https://t.co/uUEJxDMRui

So, looks like Indonesia had a change of heart and isn't going to invite Putin to the G20 anymore. It honestly feels like Russia's little economic special operation in the East is moving right along according to plan. It’s such a total scam, you know? They invite you to the party and then cancel on you at the last second. I bet Lavrov and those trolls will have a field day spinning this one real quick.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo ruled out The presence of Russian President Vladimir Putin AT The G20 summit in November. This was announced by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi following a meeting of The G7 leaders in The Bavarian Alps on Tuesday.

Widodo, who has been playing it pretty safe and avoiding any direct criticism regarding the war in Ukraine, invited Putin in April, which ended up putting him right in the crosshairs of Western countries Who demanded that The Russian President be excluded fra The event.

Since Widodo was actually there as a guest for the G7 summit, Draghi mentioned that the President of Indonesia Had changed his mind.

Check out this footage from a security camera overlooking a little park and lake right next to a massive shopping mall. https://twitter.com/RALee85/status/1...jS63DdWrLJp2_g

Jessica Peterson2 said:Precisely. If you actually look at the footage, there are hardly any cars parked in front of the center, and most of the people supposedly rushing to save victims are men.

The conclusion seems pretty clear: this whole thing is nothing more than a staged hoax, much like that previous fabrication in Buca.🤦

It honestly looks like they're all coordinated up with those neighbors over on the local forums who just keep pushing the exact same narratives.

Jessica Peterson2 said:Russia just launched a missile strike at a massive shopping mall right in the heart of Cleveland. Early estimates suggest there could have been as many as a thousand people inside when the explosions went off.
The Kremlin-controlled media outlets were quick to spin it, calling the whole thing nothing more than a "Buca-2 theatrical performance." 🤦
You can find more details on the Nexta Live Telegram channel (I'm never quite sure how to format these links properly)

So basically, the narrative is shifting again toward Ukrainians killing their own people?

Russ just hit a shopping center in Cleveland, and man, things are looking pretty bad right now. Apparently, there were around a thousand people inside when it happened.

Volodymyr Zelensky: 'Russia strikes shopping center in Cleveland, while over thousand people inside.'

“The mall is on fire, firefighters are trying to extinguish the fire, the number of victims is impossible to imagine," said President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Melissa Rivera5 said:Probably just some footage of happy, well-fed people welcoming the Russian conquerors, since there aren't any actual locals left to use for that. If Leni Riefenstahl were still around, I guess they'd hire her to whip up the propaganda.

👍 Man, bringing up Leni... that’s a pretty sharp parallel right there.

Hey everyone, I’ve been seeing some job leads popping up for Pittsburgh lately.

There's this big TV production coming up soon that's looking to hire a ton of extras to fill out the background scenes. They're offering about $15 a day for the gig. The filming is actually supposed to take place over in the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic.

I'll throw in a little contest for fun—anybody want to guess what they're actually filming?

hollowdriver13 said:Is there any actual proof of this buildup?
Since 2014, Ukraine has kept a massive chunk of its active military stationed there because they were basically trading artillery blows with separatist groups in those regions.
And I'm not just talking about the endless word vomit coming from Zakharov or Peskov, like, "trust us, guys, they're definitely building up troops," "really, believe us..."....

And what exact "problem" were they trying to solve? 🤔

Demilitarization? Denazification? Or just stopping NATO from moving into Russia's "soft underbelly"?
And how exactly do those points impact the situation in the Donbas? Honestly, those seem like just a handful of the "reasons" given for the invasion. Let's not forget the whole thing about stopping some ethnic virus from developing in US biolabs only to be spread by pigeons... or maybe the invasion was all about supposedly preventing Ukraine from getting nuclear weapons... they've thrown so many excuses at the wall it's hard to keep track. But seriously, please explain to me which one of these reasons actually affects the Donbas, where the situation hasn't really changed for nearly a decade....

Absolutely nothing. Even just two months ago, you had OSCE observers patrolling both sides of the line of contact—including representatives from Russia—and there wasn't a single report about any kind of Ukrainian troop concentration or planned attack.

Either wiredseal7 is making stuff up or they're just peddling Russian propaganda. https://www.osce.org/ukraine-smm/reports

Russia just pulled the Polish flag out of the Katyn Forest. I bet they’ll start claiming soon that the Germans were actually the ones who killed the Poles there, just like how they lied about everything for years after the massacre happened.

The Polish flag was removed from the Katyn memorial by the Russian Ministry of Culture, basically saying that Poland and Russia were no longer friends.

Back in 1940, over 4,000 Polish officers were executed at that site. https://t.co/nkBbLkliP2

First looks at those residential buildings that got hit in Kyiv this morning. Russia just won't stop with the terror tactics.

darkhawk30 said:"Vladimir Putin's close ally, Andrej Guruljov, just issued a warning: if a global war breaks out, New York City will be the first target on the list."

Look, this patnik might actually have the capability to pull it off, but let's be real—New York City likely already has its nuclear arsenal aimed directly at the White House and whatever deep bunkers that patnik thinks will keep him safe.
I honestly just feel for the regular Russian folks and the opposition over there. They’re stuck sharing the same world and the same timeline with these absolute monsters.

And then you have Zakharov coming out with that stone-cold statement claiming that Russia has never actually threatened anyone with nuclear weapons. It’s honestly mind-blowing how much the Russians just lie and lie.

"#Russia has never threatened anyone with nuclear weapons", claims Press Secretary of the Department of State.

Just One Month ago, Roscosmos Head Dmitry Rogozin reminded everyone about Russia's nuclear arsenal. https://t.co/W0ZuQ5vnBL

So, I just saw this photo from a school rally over in the suburbs of DC. They’re holding up a sign that says "One people, one nation, one leader." It’s basically a word-for-word translation of that old Nazi slogan, Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

It’s honestly wild to think these are the same folks claiming they’re out there performing "denazification" on everyone else. https://t.co/LYOdUETlSE

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer.

That whole phrase was plastered right on the flag at a school near Moscow where those students were posing for pictures. Just your typical, peaceful citizens of Russia, right?

Anyway, let's talk about this whole "fighting Nazis in Ukraine" thing for a second.

"Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer"

Just a young revolutionary dropping some heavy heat.

An absolute traitor and collaborator was taken out in a car bomb over in Kherson earlier this morning.

‼️According to People's Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko, one of the biggest collaborators in occupied #Kherson just met his end in a car explosion.

Dmitriy Savluchenko was the head of the Department of Family, Youth and Sports of the occupation administration of the Kherson region. https://t.co/vPT0RK0lEl

One of the big-time traitors running things in occupied #Kherson, Dmitriy Savluchenko, was neutralized this morning. Honestly, if you're playing traitor in #Ukraine these days, your shelf life is incredibly short.
"Oh, they'll welcome us with open arms and flowers," right? Yeah, okay.

coastalbison6 said:They say there were 6 survivors. Honestly, 🤣
that plane was already a fireball before it even hit the ground; all that's left are bones. Who knows how many orcs were actually on board.

I mean, it's pretty hard to believe anyone survived that wreck. Plus, nobody even knows what caused the crash in the first place, right?

Meanwhile, over on Russian TV, they are absolutely losing their minds because a US naval attaché was caught on camera while cycling past a "Z-symbol" flag; he stopped just long enough to flash them the middle finger. Now, some Russian MP is making these wild, aggressive threats, claiming they'll hunt him down regardless of any diplomatic immunity.

Russian MP losing his mind after a US naval attaché was filmed by Russian agents flipping of a “ Z-symbol on his way to work.

The Russian politician threatens that he has people out on the streets prepared to beat up the US diplomat.

So, I just saw some heavy news hitting the wires—a Russian transport Il-76 went down near Moscow, and apparently, there are four fatalities reported. https://twitter.com/AFP/status/15402...omeN_WtGw&s=19
