If I had you pegged wrong, then I apologize. But even the slightest whiff of Russian propaganda makes me see red. It has eaten away at the minds of my parents' and grandparents' generation, and a number of my slavic friends are suffering greatly because they don't know how to deprogram their loved ones. Just obvious, blatant fascism that's being repulsively consumed and regurgitated by the Russian media and population in a grotesque feedback loop. All an engineered frenzy by some deplorable propagandists high up in the Russian government. And now I see it spreading among contrarians in the Western world, too.

That's the scent I get from these comments. The same lies that I've been hearing on Russian TV for years and years. "Sanctions? Russia's doing better than ever! Failures? The entire war has been going exactly as planned! Technology? We have some of the most advanced military tech in the world! Ukraine? It was never a country to begin with!"
