I'm an frequent watcher of russian state media since I speak Russian myself. Another thing to note is that russian media barely talks about it's problems if ever. But it certainly loves to talk about the western problems a lot. I don't think there ever been a pause where they don't talk about the west. It's like if you don't address the pink elephant in the room then it's not real. Like you know soo much about the west but you barely hear anything from the east. And that's another key information to take note. Like I can say that in the west whenever something weird happens in the east it will be discussed briefly and then move on but in Russian state it never ends. It just keeps going.

Dude, I'm literally starting to write a masters paper on psychological warfare and propaganda and this video has been a god sent just to give me a few talking points about Russia and Belarus. Great work!

Не очень хорошо пишу по английски, поэтому напишу на русском. В РФ пропаганда говорит что Европа замёрзнет без газа, почему-то забывая что большая часть РФ не имеет доступа к газу и обогрев частных домов производится ДРОВАМИ ИЛИ УГЛЕМ. Да, в 2022 году. Нередко даже в городах. По ТВ говорят что европейцы в бешенстве от повышения цен на 5%. Знаете на сколько повысились цены в РФ в это же время? От 20% на все. Пропаганда предпочитает не видеть проблемы своей страны, но яркой краской выделяет любые проблемы на западе. Многие на это ведутся.

I appreciate the critique of both sides in a way that isn’t lazy. Often, amateur RU-vid analysts just throw out the “BothSides” maneuver as an attempt to make themselves look like a “reasonable centrist”, but it’s clear that your criticism originates from real knowledge which is a refreshing sight.

Great analysis and extremely important. People who think the "post-truth world" was just about political leaders lying should watch this. Great job Vlad. This channel is on fire right now!

As someone who grew up under communism in Romania, i can totally understand what you said about soviet propaganda. At the beginning of each school day we had to stand up facing the huge picture of the dictator Ceausescu on the wall and sing a song for him and the communist party. We had to learn those songs when we were starting school at 6 or 7 years old. Propaganda was everywhere, but we knew it was bullshit, even as children. At home our parents were listening to Radio Free Europe at very low volume, and we were forbidden to speak to anyone outside of our family about it since it was a criminal offence. While everywhere in society there was praise for our "glorious" regime and Soviet system, the stores were empty. The common people had to stay in line for hours just to buy one bread or a bottle of something that was supposed to be milk. In the meat shops, the only thing you could buy in the early 80s were legs from chickens and pigs. But only from the knee down, there was no meat on those bones. Meanwhile, those high up in the communist party had special stores where they could buy whiskey, fine tobacco and French chocolate. I think if the sanctions keep piling up Russia`s economy will tank and will make the 80s-90s crisis look like a golden age. Thank you for another great video Vlad, sorry for the wall of text :)

Hearing about this "aim 3" of russian propaganda - to make people in a country overreact to their influence, reminded me of watching strategy game starcraft 2. There, its pretty known idea, that sometimes you don't need to go for a wacky strategy against your opponent, sometimes you only need to pretend to do it or do it a little bit, purposefully make him see it, and hopefully make him overreact and overcorrect his build order and resource gathering pattern. That way, he would either be building something that counteracts your wacky strategy and silly unit combination, or in panic dumped a lot of resources at once, while you actually corrected and went back to a default build/units that are most consistent and cost-efficient. As a result, this only made him weaker in a straightforward head to head engagement, or put you ahead economically.

This whole propaganda technique reminds me of French corporate culture. A friend of mine went to a management course in France. He was told that the French style of management he was taught was inspired on dog training technique. Firstly, give out confusing or contradictory orders. When your team is confused and fails, discipline them to insure dominance. Once you have broken them with confusion, they will be compliant. As a result, in big French corporations there is a deficit of creativity. Only the boss is allowed to think, his underlings are reduced to being drones. Now I understand why I never managed to hold a job in french companies.

The quote you gave at the beginning, about the two of aspects of a) not wanting to be naive, not wanting to be duped, and b) how this can undermine the believe that there is a truth - immediately made me think of the phenomenon how surprisingly clever people can sometimes be prone to believing in conspiracy theories.

The video is very good, so thank you! The bit about Western actors inadvertently playing into Russia’s hands by panicking about the extent and impact of interference is deeper than it seems. Great story, sir.

Vlad your impression of Trump made me laugh out loud and at the same time really educated me on how this mixed messaging works to undermine reality. Cheers.

Your understanding of what is actually happening behind the scenes is spot on. Not only that but your way of explaining things to us regular humans is incredible. Here in Serbia many stay with the Russian side, partly because of the religion, partly because they do not like NATO because of the 1999. war, but mostly because of the inferiority complex as they know that the west lives much better and those countries are the ones they want to live in and work, so their myth of a great Russia and Serbia "saving" the world is very alive here. However, no one in Serbia explains why they do not support Ukrainian sovereignty the same way they expect Serbia's sovereignty to be respected, also no one talks about horrible things Serbian government did during the nineties so the 1999 war happened in the first place, and in the end no one goes to Russia to work and live but everyone escapes to the western Europe or America. Collective identity, clerical and ethnic nationalism, politically and scientifically illiterate population is prone to make these mistakes unfortunately, so what happens in Russia is mostly what happens to Serbia now, just without nuclear arsenal. Keep up with your brilliant work, such a great content you have here!

Fascinating, engaging, witty, brilliant and disturbing all at the same time. This throws more light and gives more shape to what I have been sensing. Wow! Great video!

I just recently discovered your channel and I have been binge watching your videos. I'm Estonian and I was a child when Soviet Union collapsed, but I do remember how it was like. My heart breaks for Ukrainians, but also for all the saine Russians, who understand, what is really going on, yet are helpless to do anything about it. I get it, that propaganda works, but I'm honestly surprised that it works so well on such huge number of people. How do you believe everything that you see on TV so blindly and not ask any questions? It has always been very difficult for me to understand. Your explanation helped a little though. :) Just wanted to say a big thank you for talking about these things. I have learned a lot from you. I'll be coming back for more. ❤️

Absolutely brilliant. You gather all the threads and show how they weave together very efficiently. I find your perspective incredibly valuable. The solution to chaos created covertly by the strongman and his minions is the public image of strength the strongman projects. Nevermind "strength" really means the ability to trample rights.

There is brilliant book '' Nothing is true and everything is possible '' of Peter Pomerantsev largely on the same topic

Thanks Vlad. This vide was a real Aha! for me. I have been discussing New Zealand's "Freedom Protest" with my teenage niece. A point of difference between us has been the origins of the protest as domestic or foreign. Now I see that this confusion of local grievances with foreign interference is a prime objective of modern propaganda. This is an effective disruption to us from seeing each others points of view. Jolly good stuff.

Again, good food for thought, Vlad. I'll need some time to process it. In line with a discussion I had today with a lovely person who tends to fall for right-wing narratives again and again. The question: "Do You really want the world to look like that?" made them reflect on their ideas for the first time. It's not easy anyway to find out what's right and wrong these days, even without being bombarded with reckless propaganda all the time.

One of the most horrifying things I witnessed this year is one student of our programme going completely down this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and misinformation and talking in the post-truth way you just described. It ended with him trying to mess up two professors' carreers by telling the students weird mixtures of truths and lies about them and trying to encite us against them. In the end it was stuff like "you're wearing the flag of the Ukraine on you, therefore you're a Nazi."

I absolutely loved watching your video, it helped me get a much clearer understanding of things I noticed before, but couldn't quite make sense of. "pouring fuel on conflicts that are already there", "deliberately sending conflicting messages", "the real damage doesn't come from the interference itself, but from the response to it", "tapping into already existing fears and sentiments". Seems like there is something that the Russian state, for all of its inefficiencies, does manage to consistently pull off well after all. (Other than consistently manufacturing state of the art weapons, almost somewhat independent of economic prowess.)

I friggin love you, Vlad. You present all these concepts in such an easy to understand way. I feel so educated every time I watch one of your videos. Are you a teacher? If not you'd be great at it.

Superlative analysis. Thank you!

Content in this video is eye opening for sure. Thank you for your hard work and not doing content for the sake of content. Be safe everybody.

Just came across your channel and this video. I'm so glad I did, your analysis and presentation is what so many need to hear right now. Thank you, keep up the good work, I know I'll be supporting you as much as I can.

You put into words exactly what I was feeling about trump, bojo and other such figures, they are more chaos than they are right or left wing, they have few core values that they stick to if any, their opinions are either ambiguous or change based on what's more politically advantageous. I am sometimes struggling not to be angry at people who buy this, you can even show them proof of how they answer a question both ways and will outright ignore it. I'm sick to my stomach

Нет войне! Нет сил выдерживать этот трындец, хочется проснуться в той реальности, где не было этой войны.

This is the best video of yours that I have watched so far!

Excellent point at 12:30 or so here. I’m happy I found you. “Maximalist account” is a good word to describe it.

Man, I like you! Wish I could be your friend. By the way, I was writing part of my novel which is about fake news and Russian propaganda in Ukraine in 2014, and your video came as a ring to my finger. Thank you!

Thanks for that Vlad, I am studying the news and social media propaganda we are currently exposed to, on the basis that very little is the truth. This talk has been very helpful in sharpening my critical eye and ear.

Remember, when russia today broadcasts in english, they are lying

If you think that propaganda doesn't work on you - it means it works perfectly

The opening five mins is just brilliant in explaining the differences. YOU HAVE TO WRITE A BOOK. I would love you to publish a book on modern Russia under Putin. ❤

I really liked your segment on how Russia's manipulative tactics are merely a [machiavelic] way of triggering unresolved conflicts that are already in the fabric of those targeted western democracies. The best and the most obvious example of this is in the USA : this country has piled up do so many grievances.. Putin did not have to do much to push that pressure off the cliff.

I keep reading the title as "the postmortem" and I want it to be true.

Vlad´s best video: glass clear and well presented. I learned a ton from it. Thx, Vlad!

Brilliant explanation of the propaganda we're all subject to now. Thank you Vlad!

OMG! Suddenly so much makes sense now. Thank you.

Makes so much sense, this is why Lavrov speaks so much dribble each time 🤤

I'm always very sceptical when sb talks about propaganda. Most of the time they aren't saying anything genuine but just try to do some propaganda themselves. But this one is actually an insightful analysis. Thank you for that.

Russian propaganda seems to be a mix of what Huxley and Orwell feared: "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. ~Neil Postman"

I've just discovered your channel and it's just fabulous. I'm gobbling up your videos. As an amateur classical pianist who loves Russian composition, I've never been able to understand Russian brutality versus the depth of culture. At the political level at least in the last century, it's a brutal murderous place, and now Ukraine. Having met many sophisticated Russians, East Germans in the US and in France, I've never come to reconcile this catastrophic political absence.

Boris Johnson did in fact say that mask wearing was a good thing. And urged people to wear them in public. The UK government's policy was not to force people to wear masks. But rather to encourage the wearing of masks. As it was felt that people were more likely to do so if it was a personal choice, rather than an enforced rule. The same goes for public gatherings. After all, the UK is not China. They knew well that the moment the media focused on the enforcement of mask wearing, rather than the reasons why masks should be worn, would be the moment mask wearing became a political issue rather than a public health issue.

My question is what do the Russians (well, the ones involved in propaganda) strive for when they provoke Western countries? What does the exasperation gain them?

Great work. Keeping cool with this kind of matter is a challenge in itself.

I would love a video on the origins of these tactics. How far back does it go? Beyond the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"? Great work Vlad!

8:45 isn't that exactly what has happened to Ukraine? - The opposition has gone mad and many of them formed the notorious Azov - Ukraine has lost economic ties with Russia and suffered from it - Ukraine has in fact became a US puppet - Ukraine has lost Russian language So maybe belorussians believed Russian propaganda, because they saw same things taking place in the neighbouring Ukraine?

Great vid. Ty for explaining this to foreign audience. A lot of them will never understand, what such strong propaganda can do with people for such long time period. A lot of them just would not believe, that its even possible. From russia, with sadness. Russia will be free.

Really good analysis. Breaking down Russian propaganda into goals and methods is a university-level approach.

Nice one. But I find myself quibbling with your Trump (great impersonation/channelling, btw!) and Johnson examples. Because to me this doesn't sound so much like calculated mixed messaging, but more like some kind of stream of consciousness processing. The kind of talk we all do when we aren't quite convinced one way or the other. (Which is part of both Trump's and Johnson's talents as politicians - relatable!) Where it gets problematic is when it gets chopped up by media and given much more weight than it should. And then it is hopeless to correct, if the media is hostile (which it tends to be) it turns into a gotcha-game. These kinds of "eh, don't really know" utterances in far too many words just do not work in today's media landscape. Maybe we could say that they have a similar effect as the "throw everything at the wall" propaganda in that it can create or amplify uncertainty, but I really think the reason or source for this is different. (Here we could perhaps ponder how private and public ways of being are melting together...)

As always Vlad .. brilliant brain food from you , i m 54 and have worked in Russian and the East..but only listening to your depth can i understand what i did nt understand these decades why, ..

Thank you Mr Vexler for this analysis of Alternate Reality versus Russian Propaganda viz Manipulation of Reality such that we are induced to "doubt the possibility of truth itself". Magnificent expose - quite brilliant! Fits Russia Today perfectly. I shal;l watch it several times.

Y’all shouldn’t forget that the west also has a strong propaganda, and almost every post about “bad Russians” and “poor Ukrainians” make intelligent people laugh

I desperately need this same video in Russian language so I can show it to my relatives

Thank you Vlad for this true assessment of psychological warfare; under the guise of Propaganda! Brilliant!

Very educational video, helps me to assure myself not everybody is crazy around me

That was really well put. I wish I could organize my thoughts that succinctly.

Спасибо что боретесь с западным заблуждение о России

small reminder: this video is also propoganda

I’m fascinated coming back and watching these. Trying to remember how I *felt* at different times in ~2016-2020 then again in Feb 2022 with respect to different news items. Just fascinating the psychology of manipulation. 🤔

I remember one programme I used to watch on RT that always finished, 'All that is solid melts into air.' Quite open about undermining everything, just as you say.

Great analysis, I kind of came to he same conclusion based on various observations. One thing I'd add is, some of the origins of these methods is actually a consequence of the West itself and the political engineering that developed in the 80s and especially 90s under spin doctors (Bill Clinton, Blair, Gerhard Schroeder being good examples). These tactics and methods were very managerialist and only had a limited time span of effectiveness, but people like Surkov in Russia took them and added a dose of Machiavellianism. This is why the historical wounds of the Iraq War and the 2008 crisis still are a gangrene in Western politics - because in many ways the way governments responded to them prepared the ground and the atmosphere to make people receptive to the information blizzard that came. As you said, there are parallels with the 90s Russias, in this case the ennui and distrust of the Brezhnev stagnation that has similarities to where we are now (Adam Curtis captured this perfectly in an aesthetic sense even if his actual logical arguments are wobbly). Two other key points I also feel are important: 1. Manipulation of elite opinion and decision making is just as important. I notice that for example in foreign policy circles there is targeted propoganda to those in the 'know'. The KGB always saw intellectuals, mavericks and poltiical eccentrics (both left and right) as easy targets to amplify their own messages or sow doubt in elite decision making. I can't help but feel this is a tradition that Putin has continued. In some ways this is just as if not more important than other forms of manipulation (see what happened in Syria). 2. I can't help but feel the West blindly ignored the lessons of the boom in online Islamic fundamentalism in the 2000s. When I think back (and having had a school teacher who turned out to be embroiled in these communities) we refused to understand or learn what happened there, partly through a refusal to deal culturally and especially intellectually with the movement. I can't help but feel the Russian intelligence agencies learnt a great deal more about the themes and messages that appeal to anomie ridden young men and women in modern societies. That is traditional religion, traditionalist ideologies, movements that demand action and so give life a sense of purpose. There has been no engagement with this which is one of the reasons why relatively sparse Russian seeds of propoganda have such great effect among people highly responsive to the message. 3. Robert Baer has been suggesting the CIA has been blindedsided by a 'fourth man' insider. Whilst Western malaise goes deeper, this might explain why Western elites have been so slow to recognise Putin for what he is, albeit... part of that must be their own wishful thinking (which maybe is the reason why any such moles got away with it).

I think modern propaganda is the correct term because many countries do this even USA

This seems similar to how biggest damage of terrorism isn't the direct damage, but us freaking out about it and restricting our own freedoms.

I also grew up in a socialist country. I think the crucial and most apparent difference between the communist/Soviet and current/Russian propaganda is that back then there was a prospective and consistent ideology with a clear path ahead (at least until late Brezhnev era) and also the propaganda was very much progressive: it handily criticised capitalism or western imperialism left and right but would not ever spread hate against the people of the west, was very much against racism or xenophobia, against sexism and promoted progressive ideals. In that sense, the propaganda was "ahead" of the actual practice at the time, which was often conservative. Today it seems to be other way around.

Too bad we have to spell it out. Great job Vlad.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to explain to people when it comes to psychological and information warfare but I’m not intelligent enough to put into words how it works. Great video!!

i heard the term 'confusion politics' floating around in regards to what surkow is doing in russia

Максим Кац? До свидания ...

Propaganda-propaganda-propaganda. This video is a propaganda in itself.

Awesome job man. Easy to understand and digest. I've started to notice that sense of being gaslit when listening to Poo-bucket and his mates. It led me to the unfortunate realisation that by simply engaging in conversation is not going to get anyone anywhere. I'm sure the powers that be realise this too and I'm hopeful they've got other plans to stop the murder, traumatisation and dislocation of the Ukrainian peoples.

Excellent stuff!

While I agree with 95% of this, removing the catalysing agent from the toxic brew will sure go a long way to stabilising the patient.

I remember visiting the USSR some years before it fell. The tour guide would regularly deliver lectures on how great the Soviet system was, when we could see from looking about us that it was not. However she was just doing her job and was quite privileged. Now we knew she was giving us a load of garbage. More importantly, she knew that we knew she was talking garbage. But we just went along with it. I asked a couple of questions, but they were just ignored or deflected. So I just played the game like everyone else. I did not want to make life difficult for the poor woman. It is quite insidious how it creeps up on you. I can remember her saying how much Lenin was " much loved by the people", because that is what she kept saying. I kept repeating it and you could see she was pleased. No mention was ever made of Stalin. She gave me a booklet about the Soviet government. Not a word said about Uncle Joe. Real alternative reality at work.

It bears mentioning that Ras-Putin's original training was not as a Party apparatchik but rather as a KGB counterintelligence operative. Something many do not grasp about the intelligence component of Soviet history is that to an increasing degree after the death of Stalin, the Party and the state-security organs (and especially the KGB) became two distinct factions working more against each other's interests than mutually upholding them, which fractured the integrity of the Soviet state as a whole to eventually cause it to self-destruct with the election of Yeltsin and the dissolution of the USSR. The Communist Party has yet to recover as a force to reckon with in Russia, as meanwhile the KGB and its intelligence infrastructure (which never gave a rat's ass about Lenin or the dictatorship of the proletariat, their God was Felix Dzerzhinski, and their mission was to protect the state, mostly by co-opting both the Party and the state into their own intentions), survived more or less intact. Bill Browder would have us believe that the current Russian state is best understood as a criminal enterprise, and he is correct in a sense, but without grasping the full magnitude of the longstanding ties and overlapping interests of the KGB and the ancient pre-Romanov Russian criminal underworld, it is difficult to understand that in Russia, organized crime, the state security apparatus, and the colossal propaganda-industrial complex are not just three distinct sectors with interests held in common. The State IS the mafia, yes, but the mafia is also the intelligence community, and the intel community is also the propaganda machine. They are indistinct and interchangeable, and no ideology whatsoever is required to hold them all in power, only chaos, confusion, fear, grudging obedience, and continuous self-preserving restraint. And cowardice: let's not forget this is a country where a young man's life is worth the value of a new substandard Russian car, and where a nationwide audience knows better than to call out the monstrosity of such a story. The chaos and confusion referred to here as the aims of Russian propaganda today, in my view, can be directly traced not, as our host would agree, to Soviet propaganda methods, but rather back to Soviet intelligence and especially counterintelligence operations during the Great Patriotic War. And we must acknowledge that, in Soviet terms of national self-interest, the US and Great Britain had been the enemy all along, and the short-term alliance with them was seen as much as a new field of opportunity to further subvert the capitalist west as it was a means to an end of defeating Hitler. Seeding all those enemies' camps with contradictory messaging, as well as co-opting high-ranking personnel of Germany and the Allies alike into absurd and self-destructive schemes they never knew were being orchestrated by NKVD agents, were never meant to convince the Nazis or the British and Americans of one thing or another, but rather to create rival schools of thought and competing hypotheses among the upper echelons of all their high-command structures, over what those damn Bolsheviks must be thinking. All the way through the farcical and futile 'Russian Collusion' media craze, I kept thinking, this looks exactly like what the Kremlin and its counterintelligence strategists must have had in mind: the American media embarrassing itself so badly with hyperventilative fanaticism all directed at delivering its one message of 'Orange Man Bad' for years on end, that in due course few could remember a time when American media could ever be taken seriously for anything but dutifully shouting hostile political jingoisms. The squandering of credibility indulged in by American media over the largely exaggerated, badly reported, and to a great extent fictitious, narrative about Russia stealing an election lent itself well to a new but already well-established internet-era form of addiction, otherwise known as 'virtue signaling.' And it was the explosive post-2016 expansion of virtue signaling itself, in whatever form and waving whichever banner, and the attendant divisiveness and polarization in American discourse which must have exceeded Kremlin hopes by orders of magnitude from the night Hilary Clinton lost until today, as the new political heroin for an era when everyone is carrying around a 24/7 syringe delivering continual fixes of web access in their hands, and can hardly resist playing with it, that has been the whole point of Putinesque propaganda. I wonder if it would not be more accurate not to even call it propaganda at all, but rather what it actually is: plain old KGB-inspired counter-intelligence. And it is frighteningly effective.

Most of the techniques you explained I've seen in the Western world, Europe does it more tidy than the US Eventually you should pick which government's goal seems better to you

make same video about western propoganda and hypocrisy

I kinda see parallels with the "love Lenin more than your parents" here in Sweden. Most of us legitimately trust the government over our parents.

Please answer...how much CIA payroll?

Super video!

I asked a 24 year old co worker several weeks ago. Who is taking a psychology class this semester, what she has learned about Putin and Russian politics. She said who is Putin. US high education.

Well explained.

The second greatest trick the devil ever pulled - He convinced everyone that the other side is the devil.

im russian and im scared of people who believe in all of this shit and calmly watching this disaster saying there's no war

Really cool vid, it's obvious that you are deep in the topic:) As a russian person myself, I wanna add a bit about aim#3: probably even bigger goal for propaganda is not only cause an overreaction (which looks like cytokine storm during covid), but to show the biggest 'outliers' from western political scenes to the russians and say: "we've told you that this barbarians in the west are awful, here are some proofs". Unfortunately, only several percents of russians were abroad and saw the reality by their own, just 'cause Russia is in fact a poor country if you exclude Moscow, SPb, Sochi and Kazan'. Hope the regime will fall soon (ha-ha, I'm still naive), and hope the war will end asap. Glory to Ukraine, Live Belarus and Russia will be free.

The way you use metaphors so liberally, confident that they will clarify instead of obscure, it's amazing. I gained 5 points of IQ from watching this. Also: this is a very important video.

As a tyrant I'll take notes

Finally, I've been waiting for a video like this since the beginning of the war . Why does it only now pops up, meh YT. Thank you for making it, and Slava ukraini

i prefer putins propaganda to western propaganda.

Thank you for your work, Vlad! Спасибо!

The best lies always have some truth in them, but toward your point of view.

Have u seen American movies? They portrait Russians like the bad guys. Actually everyone is the bad guy and Americans come to save the world. They never talk about the invasions and coupes they promote. Eating their side is just disgusting.

Propagandist spreads propaganda about Russian propaganda. Anyone who watched to the end just got dumber. Thank you RU-vid for another great recommendation.

THIS VIDEO TO THE TRENDS

Meanwhile in Yemen…

Says the propagandist. We see nothing but propaganda here.

This is the most clever video I've seen in a while. And I do watch science and geopolitics. So much truth in there.

Oh so there isn’t Ukrainian propaganda? Wow, not biased AT ALL huh?

What a great video. More people should see this
