this picture makes me laugh, because of the possibilities of who spray painted that:

1.) some random punks, who don't appreciate him providing Starlink or whatever...most boring and non-funny option
2.) russians after they killed some ukies in it (could've been civilian, could've been military since they seized these cars from civs for their use)
3.) ukranian drivers after the piece of shit broke down/ran out of batteries before getting devastated is the funniest tho. doubly so, if it was ukranian military.

Footage of the protests

Action near the Consulate of the Russian Federation in Almaty (Kazakhstan) in support of Ukraine and its consequences.

In Khabarovsk, an activist was detained for a poster with the word "No"

There is also one in support of Russia in Ulan-Bator, Mongolia. Doesn't seem to be getting dispersed.

No.

And a bit closer to home, it looks like Russia is about to block Youtube because it keeps banhammering Russian government channels.

they should have use rumble, odysee or gabtv just like RT.

Trying to understand the context of why Russian officials would say what they said about Irpin and you act like I agreed with anything they or the article said. To spare your misinterpretation of this post, I haven't stated my thoughts on Bucha, Irpin, the Russian MoD's claims, or anything regarding any staged incidents. The reason is because I don't know jack shit about any of it.

You know, there is good reason why so many posters from Poland, Ukraine, Baltic states and other countries that were under Iron Curtain are tilted when somebody post official Russian on a subject.

USSR had ever present success propaganda. Each year workers produced 300% of what they were actually supposed to produce. Each year success was growing. However all the fails are direct result of the Rotten West. Including, but not limited to...Colorado potato beetle!

Translation: Note from USSR ambassador to the USA: Planting of potato beetle is a crime and USSR demands punishment of the guilty.

Meanwhile, the regime changed from USRR to supposedly democratic Russia. Yet, propaganda is as obvious as it was back then. Lavrov says that Russia didn't strike Ukraine. That Ukraine has US biolabs who experimented on humans. There isn't second meaning to what Russia says. It is just propaganda, as it was 10 years ago, when they invaded Georgia and also found out biolabs.

Wow a pro Russian website says all of Russia's warcrimes are lies? Another genius, nonbiased take, Aidan.

Throughout all the wars on Serbia lies and disinformation were also used effectively by western media.

One very patriotic Russian wants to wave a flag for you all to see

What does your post have to do with my post?
"Poland, Ukraine, Baltic Statics and other countries that were under the Iron curtain"; which are you?

 

[Pocket Dragoon]

That seems dumb. Yes, Youtube censorship sucks. Stopping Russians from watching music videos because their government is mad that they relied on a 3rd party for their Web infrastructure sucks more.

Now I'm torn; some of my favorite channels are slavtubers, and I'd rather watch them dig up actual fascist wargraves or be FPSRussians irl.

Speaking of, anyone recognize this patch?

Funny, because apparently an unnamed European country leader asked Zelensky to provide proof the atrocities hadn't been staged. Zelensky is acting all indignant in the article because not taking him on his word is a terrible faux pas.

I don't know how you missed 20 post trying to offend me by telling jokes about Polish, but yeah I'm Polish.

Short explanation: Russian official lie through their teeth. Those who had extended dealings with Russia know this, that's why they are angry about " but why would Russia say that?".

I didn't miss the posts, I just figured that's where the outdated jokes landed since they're like the go-to for that.
Did I ever imply the Russian officials were telling the truth? I didn't. You missed the entire point of my last sentence and still somehow read shit that wasn't there, thanks.

You know who has also been caught lying? The Ukrainian government and Zelensky. No one seems to care about those lies. Does this imply that I think Russians don't lie? No it fucking doesn't.

Yes I am listening to both sides of the conflict to get a double portion of misinformation

You Poles would become Muslims if you had Gurantee it would wipe russia of the Map.

To be fair, if I wanted to report a robbery and the police asked me to prove I had not staged it, I'd be acting pretty indignant too.

Fine. Tell me what happens when I post here official Zelensky speech, for example one to the UN about atrociesies in Buch.

I'm sure the fine people of happenings will not start throwing shit that all of this is fake, and staged, but Ukraininas did deserve it anyway.

That's how presumption of innocence works though. You want to sue someone over robbery, you have to prove it is they who did it.

Idk, occuping some land, leaving it with dead civilians is pretty fucking daming evidence if you ask me.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

The outdated jokes landed because the Poles have a hate boner for Russia even though the Cold War is over, they've been gone for almost 40 years, the Germans hated Poles almost, if not more than the Jews yet they'd follow Germany to both their ends if that meant a Russia got a stubbed toe.

I don't pretend to understand it because I'm an American and I heard some of those jokes from people of Polish ancestry, because Old World feuds mean jack over here. And I resent these blatant attempts to get us involved by their desperate attempts to use anything that might work, even if they have to lie to high heaven. Of course they'll read shit that wasn't there, they'll say/do anything to make you change your mind, even on Kiwi Farms.
