  >"second best army in Ukraine" that was a group job between USA wanting a fierce enemy to justify all the military expending and russia happy to share that notion as the "big strong russian bear", they shouldn't have believed on their own lies >that's why all countries must join NATO are you saying that all that is somehow a master plan to expand NATO?

  Russia is good enough at convincing everyone around them to join NATO, that NATO doesn't even need propaganda to begin with. Having an individual national identity and a large murderous neighbour kinda makes it hard for a European country to not start thinking about it.

  You don't really get propaganda the same way in the west because due to free speech rules you have people saying all sorts of stuff, people saying the usual Russia is bad, the likes of Tucker saying he hopes Russia wins. In dictatorships it's more one sided because they imprison those that say the wrong thing. I mean some try in Russia. Here's russian historian Alexander Skobov saying how it is before probably spending the rest of his life in jail https://x.com/Kasparov63/status/1880337652806722043 https://x.com/Kasparov63/status/1880337652806722043

    i don't think they need to spend a dime in propaganda when everything that happened(including the washing machines) was embarrassing for russia, or are going to say that Ukraine propaganda machine is so strong to even fool UK and USA intel?

Look at your job, now look at what it pays, now back at your job . You could earn so much more if you joined the SMO. Think about it .

        Absolutely not. I dont want to be unbanned. I gave up my media job protesting the Iraq war and I will give up all my social media accounts protesting this rabid propaganda russian ukrainian war. Thank you for being polite enough to explain though. I really appreciate it.

Fascinating article, and scary as soon an evil AI could conquer the world with this.

The Ukrainians seem pretty good with the drone stuff. I mean the Russians have drones too but the Ukranians seems a bit more innovative with their use, taking out the Russian navy with naval drones, much of Russia's oil refining with arial drones and now this. There's more on the land drones here https://youtu.be/NXqt9dRfqQM https://youtu.be/NXqt9dRfqQM Meanwhile the Russians are forging ahead with combat donkeys https://youtu.be/aGOYO_4aDPQ https://youtu.be/aGOYO_4aDPQ
