a strategy of weaponizing childhood itself
Another one for the list.
Jeebus that was dimwitted Nato propaganda 🙃 Amazing that they can get their population to believe all that stupidity..
It's remarkably easy to deceive most Americans, at least, when it comes to certain countries. We're pretty indoctrinated about what it's "really like" in countries we don't like. From cartoons we watch as a kid, to what they teach us in middle and high school, to what we see on news/documentaries and social media. By the time they claimed Russia was invading Ukraine for no reason other than Putin wanting land, that was all the information Americans needed. They happily accepted every pro-Ukrainian narrative and rejected every fact that contradicted it. The only media opposition were MAGA outlets who love Putin for conservative reasons, and this unreliable media minority was used to dismiss the truth as fringe conspiracy.
The Western European diaspora are spoiled with all the colonial free riding, stolen fertile land from Indigenous people, inheritance thief from abducted Indigenous children who cannot disprove fake documentation that lied that the will of racist white free riders is the will of abducted children, free child slaves in Residential fake schools, and favoritism from transcontinental empires. The majority of Western Europeans and British emigrants are like the useless bystanders in action hero movies.
Okay but is there any truth that Russia has "evacuated" 3/4 million kids into Russia from Ukraine? Where are they from? Is there a counter claim?
In part it's projection.

I would like to know this too, because that’s the main thing being used to argue Putin is committing genocide. Were they actually kidnapping children or was it family evacuations?
Some family evacuations, some orphans, some just lost. Some of the latter were returned to Ukraine (double digits, as far as I can tell) the rest got assigned guardians after that free vacation in
GULAGArtek.As for the numbers, they're about as wild as you should expect these days. I've seen anything from 100k to 700k in European media. 50-60k, says the UN. Ukraine officially said (last spring is latest I was able to find) 16k.
I could easily doubt this since the images in the article only shows a bunch of military toys and children's equipment that have no obvious relevance to the militarization of Ukrainian children. I also want to question why the Paa Americana fake news contradict their prior claim that Russians kill children with this article that state that Russians kidnap innocent children instead of infanticide. This article seems to be a projection of the Indian Residential fake school death camps in British diaspora that started in 1850s and secretly continued after 1996 or 1998 (they cannot decide when the Indian Residential fake schools ended). The governments of British diaspora now claim that the Indian Residential fake school genocide is merely the milder "cultural genocide" that is "unlike" the Nazi death camps that is actually an imitation of the "Indian Residential Schools".
Projection in western propaganda? Never. They're half-projecting a Ukrainian crime this time, to be entirely fair.
ShowI have to say, I did enjoy the artistry behind the pictures. The final one with the Russian Army gift bag was chef's kiss
