EDIT: I'm very proud of this community. All the posts are making me think and solidly criticizing from an anti-imperialist perspective. Thanks, hexbear

    I like how the Russian propaganda is the only one that can use an actual photo of their enemy

        I mean, Russia waited five days after the artillery strikes stepped up before recognizing the LDNR independence (and signing mutual defense treaties with them, making it officially declared policy what would happen if the nazis didn't stop) , and three more days before starting the SMO. It was provoked, and I've read a Canadian lawyer saying it isn't even illegal under international law. Telesur's reporting is always more aligned with what the Russian government is claiming.

        It's pretty clear to me what's going on, in case there was any doubt about how much I'm gay for authoritarian daddies Putin and Trump.

          You jest, but it is interesting how often any type of debunking of western imperialist narratives is met with “you just want to suck dick/lick boot/lick butthole/bend over” and other overtly sexual and often homophobic/misogynistic attacks. Chauvinists reveal themselves, I remember being called a “Assadist dick sucker” on many occasions.

        Bro I'm talking about the meme, you know the one that we're in a comment section for. Where the NATO side has some orc shit photoshop and the Russia side has a photo of Azov fighters posing with Azov, NATO, and Nazi flags.

        If you want to start with the war crimes accusations and the best you can come up with after 7 months is a shooting of two civilians, I'm gonna start posting butterfly mine videos from Donetsk. This hasn't been a Russian propaganda site but buddy, I can make it one.

          Ah, I see. I thought you were speaking generally rather than about the meme. My mistake.

          Regarding my example, it was just the easiest for me to pull up for a quick counterexample to what I thought you were saying because I'd recently seen the footage of this particular incident. (For what it's worth, I've also seen stuff about the butterfly mines in Donetsk.)
