How russian propaganda depicts the war:
Courtesy of Russia Today Germany.
Note: It's illegal in Russia to call this war a war. A radio-station and a TV-station were closed yesterday for daring to call the "special military operation" a war.
With best regards from "1984". War is Peace. Ignorance is Strength. Russia has never been at war with Ukraine.
An article about an interview on Fox News, where a retired US General and close friend of Donald Trump said that Ukraine should simply give up before more innocent blood is spilled.
A REALLY weird pseudo-intellectual propaganda-piece by some dude from a russian think-tank.
How the end of the Cold War was the end of a bipolar world-order.
Russia's failures in terms of corruption, economic strength, standard of living, soft geopolitical power andsoforth are explained away as Russia "taking longer than others to find a place in this new world-order".
And this post-Cold-War world-order supposedly somehow "did not allow for a variety of cultural and political opinions". (It's strange how the author does not name examples of oppressed ideas.)
What Russia is doing in Ukraine is not at all different from what the US has done in Yugoslavia, Iraq andsoforth. (And of course, the author does NOT use the term war, because calling Russia's war on Ukraine a war is illegal in Russia.)
Then the author tries to explain how Russia supposedly wants a multipolar world without static spheres of influence. (Which is weird, since it was Russia that categorically demanded that Eastern Europe be Russia's sphere of influence.)
Then some pseudo-intellectual gobbledy-gook how the war in Ukraine is a hybrid war of the West against Russia, in which Russia is fighting back with military means. (This sentence is a piece of art. You can literally read anything you want into it. The author is talking about some ideological conflict but at no point does he make clear whom he is talking about, which is done on purpose so the reader will always agree with what this smart guy says.)
Finally, the author talks about how Russia will not descend into isolationism. Instead, Russia will become a shining symbol, a beacon of hope for this new multipolar world-order.
Also, the author says that Russia will "reevaluate" its economic priorities.
Which will "accelerate some developments and slow down others."
Finally, the author warns "the active part of the russian population" that "its old ways of living are a thing of the past."
TRANSLATION:
There will be massive economic upheaval with entire sectors of the russian economy going bankrupt.
Some people will get filthy rich in this economic chaos, others will get poor.
Prepare for unemployment, a drop in wages and lower standards of living.
I can see why RT has turned off the comment-section. Their propaganda is so full of holes, it's straightforward an insult to people's intelligence to publish this.
