Or one could choose not to take this in isolation from all the acts of brazen and identified sabotage Russia does, slashing deep-sea cables in international waters with their shadow fleets, organizing psyop campaigns throughout the entire continent that can be traced back right to their government units, and so on :-)
- ailef 19d agoJust like North Stream 2? /s
- willy_k 19d agoMight wanna update your facts on that pipeline.
- apt-get 19d agoI'm referring to telecom cables in nordic and baltic waters, not nordstream.
- Den_VR 19d agoAs they say, if you want peace then prepare for war.
- pphysch 19d ago"brazen and identified" is doing a lot of work here. IIRC the cable thing was an anchor accident, and everyone is doing psyop campaigns (Western psyops being far more advanced and sophisticated than their enemies). Nord Stream was definitely not an accident and we know who did that. Implying that Russia somehow invented or is the undisputed leader in "psyops" is a popular hallmark of a low-information civilian, a narrative promoted by arch-propagandists like Peter Pomerantsev and Anne Applebaum. As many other comments have said, cui bono?
- preisschild 18d ago> Nord Stream was definitely not an accident and we know who did that Lol who claimed it was an "accident"? Most likely it was disgruntled Ukrainians with just enough resources and skill. And they did great work. Anne Applebaum is a historian not a "propagandist" lol
- pphysch 18d ago"Propagandist" is not a palatable job title, so propagandists often masquerade under different words. For example, the US government's official foreign propaganda agency is called "US Agency for Global Media". If Anne "it's okay to kill journalists in wartime" Applebaum is not a prominent Western propagandist, then who is?
- preisschild 18d agoWhy do you use doublequotes as if you were quoting her? She never said that.
- pphysch 18d agoIt's called a nickname, and it's in reference to her infamous article defending the murder of actual journalists (which she is not). Can you answer my question?
