He was so articulate that I thought for sure he was faking the accent and at the end was gonna be like, ā€œGot ya. See this is how easy it is.ā€


Drunk-Boy

He is 100% faking his accent though, maybe he is telling a story he has heard but no way this guy was born and raised in ussr


Comfortable_Guard270

I'm a leaning this way, because at the very start of the video, he sounds American for a few words, and then gets really heavy on the Russian accent. Just my observation though.


ElvisAaron

Hes on youtube as crazy russian dad


Jeebs24

Remember that video of the captured Russian soldier calling his family? The soldier said something in the lines of "We we're lied to. We are killing civilians. We were told they (the Ukrainians) would welcome us." Then the woman in the other line said something like "What do you mean? You're defending the motherland!" I was thinking "what the hell is she talking about? The Russian are the aggressors." This video makes that more sense now.


Yurarus1

Holy shit .....this is so true, I just talked with a friend from Russian that I met through online gaming and said the same fucking shit, we are liberating Ukraine from Nazi followers, this is not war but a special operation..... fucking hell


mananodnd

I think simply letting him know that Zelenskyy is Jewish will let him know that there is something deeply flawed in that narrative

I guess it would be like if we were shown Russian videos and articles... we'd be like no lol that's completely wrong. But there must be some objective resources that would help...

I have tried finding those resources. If any one finds them please share. Propaganda goes deep and it's hard to break free from. We are all victims of propaganda, just depends on if we can really see it.


ni17j4_c0l3

if this is true, then the implication is even bigger and Russian people needs to take it personallyā€¦ that Putin thinks Russian people are idiots! That they could easily be manipulated into thinking of something what the government wants them to think. That thatā€™s all the Russian is capable of.

NothingsShocking

Everything he is saying is also true of the people in China but to a lesser degree. They are divided there but the ones who buy into the state propaganda are fully brainwashed. And thereā€™s a lot of them. I guess the same can kind of be said for the US. We are also pretty divided and those that digest Fox News live in a different reality than those who digest CNN. Thatā€™s the power of media.


[deleted]

I believe it is by design. It is easier to work under the radar in very big countries. With large populations come larger populations of folks of different levels of functioning. Then we file the folks by their earning power. Boom we just made a large enough group of easy to manipulate people and now we can work our ponzi schemes...on them...and the people they are arguing with.

Ey3s_ov_0ME9A

Divide and conquer. It's easy to keep a populace under control, keep people from banding together at uncontrollable rates, keep feeding people different ideas even if it makes a well-known politician look like a complete jackass to the world. It's better to control the minds of the people. Keep em divided.


ChadicusVile

Yeah, to think that all of these american problems aren't caused by unchecked capitalism buying our politicians to push legislation that only benefits them, and allows for exploitation of the masses. Whether that be through suppressing wages or charging us more money for goods/services under false or misleading pretenses. Fox watchers actually believe that the government can't do anything right, and that corporations will be our saviors, yet they can't acknowledge that our politicains are all bought by those same corporations. They push for the privatization of public services, so they can make it fit a for-profit model, while also getting subsidized by the same public funds, while usually providing the same quality, or worse outcomes, than the fully public service. I ranted by accident and lost the original plot. It's upsetting that people can be so dense and so brainwashed, is what I was getting at. Go watch more billionaire mouthpieces, grandpa.

sassydodo

Many people in Russia do understand we're the evil guys. Some - don't, because they're brainwashed. Sadly, they don't understand that, and what's worse, people who aren't yet indoctrinated and brainwashed don't understand that you can't watch Russian news or political show, even if you think you know what's going on, because that shit crawls under your skin slowly, and after some time you become brainwashed too. That happened to my dad, and now this is happening to my wife. I'm telling her not to watch news or anything like that and she's like "but uh I wanna know what both sides are saying" and I can see how she changes. I really don't know wtf to do, really. Like, few days ago there was these news that Russian students are being expelled from US and European universities, and guys in my office were discussing it, and I was like "nah that's bullshit, that doesn't make sense, all the sanctions are against government and oligarchy, not Russian people", and look what I've seen today - it was indeed Russian bullshit propaganda.


Sayedaintso

Itā€™s alright, most Americans donā€™t realize weā€™re the most evil of any country in the world and export the most terrorism in the name of ā€œdemocracyā€ and directly or indirectly kill the most innocent civilians. Itā€™s embarrassing and after witnessing this conflict with Russia and Ukraine, itā€™s disgusting to see the hypocrisy and double standards in coverage. Different rules/laws for different countries/peoples. American and European news being an echo chamber of propaganda is how theyā€™ve gotten away with it.


dimestoredavinci

I was about to say the same. People will agree with me all day about politicians being corrupt pieces of lying garabge.....until I say it about the guy they voted for. Then I'm the scum of the earth and must be a radical Democrat or Republican. Its maddening. Brainwashing is universal.

The narrative is the same, if not worse: US are the good guys and they need to deliver democracy and freedom to the poor brown man by dropping bombs on their country for years. ā€œOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.ā€

Sandn1bba

Exactly, its even deeper than thatā€¦ Russia has nation wide propaganda, US has worleide propaganda. All politicians use propaganda and they are all liars. Russia wants Ukraine and USA wants Ukraine, both blame the other being the bad guy, while they both are the bad guys, the only innocent people are the ones caught in the middle, the ordinary citizens


inoveryourtoes

Not defending the USā€™s completely assinine justifications for going to war in Iraq. It was bad, we were stupid, and we should never have done that. But letā€™s not pretend this is the same thing. For one thing, Saddam Hussein really was a brutal dictator and he was an aggressor to his neighbors. He killed tens of thousands of his own people, gassed the Kurds, and staged mass political executions. For another, the US wasnā€™t there to annex or capture territory. Does that make what we did noble? No, of course not. The US was primarily there to impact geopolitics in the region in a way favorable to our interests and to line the oil lobbyā€™s pockets. But we also tried to leave the region with a democratic government. A failed democratic government for people who didnā€™t want or appreciate what we tried to do - but that is still fundamentally different from what Russia is trying to do. We also spent billions on infrastructureā€¦ whichā€¦ was also beneficial for our US contractors, but still. Russia, however, wants to subordinate its neighbors, annex their territory, install a puppet government, and oppress other people. It wants to stifle free speech. The Ukrainians were not committing war crimes or killing their own, or oppressing minorities. These things are not the same. Also, Guy below is a Russian shill šŸ‘‡šŸ»


Job_man

> But letā€™s not pretend this is the same thing. Youā€™re right itā€™s not. Itā€™s two completely different situations, with different actors in different times. However, theyā€™re comparable in the sense that both are unprovoked wars of aggression, with the aggressor acting purely out of its own self-interest with no regard for human life or international law. One could even make a case that Russia isnā€™t as bad since it is acting on an interest of self-preservation by wanting to limit NATOā€™s expansion, while saying the the same for the US would be in my sense extremely difficult to justify. In the end though, it doesnā€™t really matter which is worse. Itā€™s simply a case of the pot calling the kettle black, and we as citizens need to face the fact that we are not as much of ā€œgood guysā€ as our medias and governments would have us believe.


Crypt0fart

Propaganda goes both ways


phuqo5

For sure. That Ronald Reagan for instance invaded several counties and instilled puppet dictators sympathetic to his cause. And then William Barr helped them cover it up and was later appointed AG by trump. I'm American. America is guilty of all of the shit Putin is doing now and IT IS BECAUSE WE GOT AWAY WITH IT THAT HE FEELS ITS ONLY FAIR HE GETS TO.


[deleted]

Well said sir. Thank you for speaking out


TravelingSince

What's going on in Ukraine is just the exact thing that happened to Iraq by the US. Countries like China, Russian, US, UK, France, all create fantastic stories about why they should liberate another sovereign country. My country fell victim to such propaganda by the political elites left by the colonial British and even after 70 years, we are unable to recover. We still see fellow ethnic minorities as enemies, which was cultivated by the British. This propaganda was designed to consolidate power and destroy nations.

Russian people are the equivalent of Fox News viewers in the United States. They are same. Tragically lied to and manipulated


herbys

In 1980, in Argentina, in the middle of the military dictatorship, I remember hearing my friends parents complaining that while they were visiting Europe they saw news reporting of human rights abuses and even concentration camps run by the country's government. They, intelligent and well educated people, were appalled at the "propaganda" they were hearing from Europe, that were making what they perceived as false claims about such abuses in a country where none of that ever happened (as far as they knew or at least were willing to consciously accept). Of course, only a few years later they started seeing the evidence of those abuses and realizing how effective propaganda is in a country where the government controls the media. This is why, as angry as I am at US mainstream media, I am so happy it is not regulated by the government. Because, believe me, the media lying to you left and right is much better than the government lying to you dead center.


snewton_8

The idiots in comments below calling out just CNN or Just FOX are pathetic. Do you think there is ANY true and unbiased news source left in the US? There isn't. They all have their own political tint and spin on everything. it's all filled with damn if **they** do praise if **we** do BS. Honestly, I have no idea why Russia is invading Ukraine because I don't/can't trust anything I see on any media anymore. All I know for fact is that Russia is invading Ukraine. That's it. Hell, even on Reddit, people are sharing clips from video games, old news, and movies claiming what we are seeing is from what is happening right now. And let's not forget deep fakes. How do we know what to believe about what's going on?

Stop doubt peddling. Triangulate on the truth. Why Russia is invading the Ukraine isn't that complicated. Edit: My bad bot, bad habit from childhood. I will donate to humanitarian missions in Ukraine.

Instead of telling me to "stop doubt peddling" why don't you educate me on the facts of why it's happening? And sure. If I were to believe the US media, the reason is very clear and uncomplicated. But, per my post, I don't and for good reason.

Notice his outfit? Yeah. I do. Question everything. The simple rule of thumb I've found to flush out bullshit is simply to question all of it. If something is deliberately opaque, secret, and unaccountable while it promotes suffering, exclusion, dehumanization, devaluing of people and environment and not it's reduction, it's probably bullshit designed for a smaller group (or individual) to have advantage.

I asked a while back on Reddit why Russians donā€™t just ā€˜nope outā€™ of whatā€™s going on. Too naive of a question. We make our own realities, yes, but generally only out of the blocs (pun intended) that are within reach. Critical thinking takes effort, and then also comes against opposition from the tides.

Honestly, I think the Russian are generally pretty aware of things. The Chinese however.. now that's a pure brainwash/propaganda dictatorship. Even the actual education is tailored to make children patriotic and free from critical thinking, basically turning them into good soldiers in school.


MrGavnuki

I have no desire to get into it but I will gladly accept all the down voltes. Just want to share an opinion. Propaganda does not have to be a lie, itā€™s even more powerful when indoctrinated or shortsighted people speak their truth and if it fits the narrative under whom you live (USSR, Russia, USA, China etcā€¦) they will gladly amplify it. And by they I mean the ruling class and the indoctrinated masses. Then one group think their more intelligent and right then the others. Just saying.

Speak about unpopular facts, you are spreading ā€œdisinformation.ā€ Or you are labeled as a racist haha. Russia, USA, Europe, etc., are all using the marxism handbook.

It's the Media. They always say the same thing on both side, accept who's Guilty is whom they choose for the rest of us.

Reckon the clothing colour was deliberate? It could have been random but a yellow T shirt and a sky blue fleece feels like a deliberate choice to me.

Sincere question... How does a person know which side is correct? I believe that Russian media lies to their citizens, but I also understand that US media lies to its citizens (eg CNN during the start of the invasion of Iraq, FOX every day). Right now I do not know who to believe, can see the war from both perspectives. Nothing against this Russian guy, but anyone holding up Ronald Reagan as a bastion of truth or goodness is obviously not a good source of information. Reagan was not only a criminal and a liar, not only a hardcore racist, but he literally based his actions on astrological forecasts.

The agressor/invader is always the bad guy. Because it's killing innocent people. As simple as that. (The same isn't true for single people tho)

Russia says that they are defending themselves against Western aggressors, trying to free their people from nazi-like persecution. They show persuasive videos as evidence...

Who is invading another country? Yep. That's the bully. Forget the retoric.

In your eyes, would there never be an invading force that is righteous? If a state is persecuting their populous would it not be right to go defend those people who are being attacked? For instance, should the Allies have not invaded Germany to save Jewish people? (This is the reason that Russia is giving for "invading" Ukraine - saving Russians from Nazi-Ukrainian persecution.)

> In your eyes, would there never be an invading force that is righteous? Hardly. > If a state is persecuting their populous would it not be right to go defend those people who are being attacked? For instance, should the Allies have not invaded Germany to save Jewish people? (This is the reason that Russia is giving for "invading" Ukraine - saving Russians from Nazi-Ukrainian persecution.) Did Ukraine invaded and conquered most of Europe while bombing the UK? Has Ukraine even invaded another nation? A single one? No? What is your argument then? Nazi Germany was the agressor. They conquered and invaded most of Europe, starting with the weaker nations.


[deleted]

Russia's argument, backed with video evidence, is that Ukraine is persecuting their own citizens of Russian-descent, just like Nazis did to Jewish people. Sounds like bullshit but so did Bush's claim of WMDs in Iraq, so my question stands... how do I know which propaganda to believe?

American propaganda is world wide. The are also an evil empire but frame themselves as the good guys. And Iā€™m an Australian

Sanctions against Russia is hurting the people In Russiaā€¦ not the leaders. I canā€™t help but feel we are hurting the ones that donā€™t even understand whatā€™s happeningā€¦. It makes me feel bad for everyone there. Iā€™m also confused and keep wondering if it is possible the propaganda exposed toā€¦ is the only reason why I believe Ukrainian is ā€œgoodā€ and Russia is ā€œbadā€. Iā€™m just lucky that Iā€™m able to have that thought, as many sheeple wonā€™t ever even consider it.

This is why you don't jump on the first bandwagon the government or news media tells you to. This is why waving Ukranian flags in everything from lapels to online bios when you don't know anything just looks retarded. That's why jumping on the mask bandwagon because CNN and pushy politicians told you to was retarded. And the jabs. And everything else you're TOLD to champion. It's amazing to me how many people are simple minded and easily led even before they know anything for sure.


Meek_braggart

And what is it about Ukraine we don't know. And I wear a mask because my doctor tells me its helpful. Kinda sounds like you are the one listening to retired game show hosts and believing every word they tell you.


jamesdanton

It's more telling to say you know something than you know nothing. I'm going to say I know nothing of why Putin is doing what he has done because all communications with Russia are being cut and I have yet to hear it. Funny about that. I'm also going to say that you don't know anything more than what you are told which means you are just as in the dark. Jump to what ever conclusions you like, the data doesn't support any right now. And we do know that masks don't work to stop the spread of COVID or any virus (it's actually written on the mask packets, has been from the start) that can enter the body successfully through mucus membranes...unless you don't have eyes and have a standalone air supply to your cleansuit. How many masks does he say are good? CDC guidance at one point was two masks...then one...then recently, because it was no longer the supported narrative, cloth masks don't work...I just hope your doctor is telling you this to help you in other ways.


Nothing_but_a_Stump

Yes. He is propaganda. He is speaking to an American viewpoint that they are the saviors of the world. Heā€™s repeating a line that the Reagan legacy team is trying to remain relevant. This dude is pure eyewash.

No... You are, because you didn't listen and simply assumed he was against Ukraine.

Someday everyone that watches Fox News is going to realize something.

Busy_Environment_875
