You're fine here. Just ignore him.btw, Rus, your questioning on are there any real misogynists. We've found one in this thread who directed me to only speak if my abusive ex-husband allows me to. Obviously this is not the place for me.

Ah, interesting. So even though Nazi Germany was a terrible, damnable phenomenon, people still take the time to learn what led to it, even from the German POV? How curious.
Again, this is a journalist, not a policymaker or spokesman for policymakers. I will say though, in my estimation this is probably closer to what's actually on Putin's mind. And I'll repeat that it's America's fault for backing him into a corner that forced him to see things this way.Further, @Chesterton, you can read here an English translation of a propaganda piece that was accidentally released by RIA in the early days of the war. Clearly prepared for publication by some functionary on the assumption that Kyiv would give up in three days and Russia would just present the takeover as a done deal.

Of course, the propaganda line has changed since then, as we can see in the more recent piece linked to in the OP. Now they're all Nazis (or mostly) and the whole country needs to be under Russian control, lose statehood, Ukrainian identity has to be erased, the very idea of a Ukraine independent of Russia necessarily leads to Nazism.
This is the kind of thing I'd prefer to hear "straight from the horses mouth" before I believe it.In contemporary Russia, there is no difference between these notions. What is pushed on a state site is the approved line of the state.
Yes, I'd like that, thanks.If you like, I can post a summary of the remarks of the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the matter. Are you interested in that, or no?
To this day, whenever I think of the words "in Russia", I think a Yakov Smirnoff joke is coming.In contemporary Russia
Actually, I WILL stay because there need to be more opinions here than the accepted one.
His move by invading Ukraine - he was used as a tool of the antichrist to cause division between Ukraine and Russia.
I guess you don't realize the world order is changing again now as we speak.Considering it led to WW II which set up the current world order and was probably the most significant episode of 20th century it is kind obvious to study it.

Hi, Homeowner,Since Putin is doing this with his actions is he then doing the bidding of antichrist ?
Dorothea, it is certainly true that many people have bought into lies from various sources -- I am among them and have had to be corrected more than once.Actually, I WILL stay because there need to be more opinions here than the accepted one. From my perspective, some people have bought into the lies from the West as well, archer. From Covid to this, seems many just swallow everything dished out to them via corporate media without any thought process. And some more than others. The neoliberalism in a couple of posts tells me a lot.

Not sure how it is over there but this is like early high school historical education over here. General knowledge.
Great it was interesting and curious for you too.
You've been here for years, and you're far more active than the person you're referring to, who only pops in to abuse people on controversial issues. We can all just put that person on ignore, if need be.btw, Rus, your questioning on are there any real misogynists. We've found one in this thread who directed me to only speak if my abusive ex-husband allows me to. Obviously this is not the place for me.
I feel that you have no interest in understanding my position, but can only imagine your own.
But crazily enough, I never had the urge to call my teacher a Nazi propagandist for teaching us why Germany felt the way it did.
Well, then there's nothing more I can say about that (whether RIA is a propaganda site). It doesn't say that on the site, no, so I have no better way to convince you than to say it's been known as a propaganda site since Putin claimed it and restarted it (in 2014, I think). But no, I don't have a document that proves that.This is the kind of thing I'd prefer to hear "straight from the horses mouth" before I believe it.
Yes, I'd like that, thanks.
I was reading this convo largely as responses to Rus, who has done no such things. Perhaps I missed something from others.It is mainly denying it is happening at all or at least in vastly smaller scale.
You know, trying to understand the enemy could better equip us to prevent/avoid such things in the future, right? I mean, you get that there are perfectly good reasons to seek to understand, beyond a desire to justify and dimiss, right?I guarantee I have at least as much interest in understanding your position as you have of understanding the position of a Wehrmacht trooper torching a Russian village because of the constant lies and propaganda he was fed by the state through his formative years.
How much interest you really have in that kind of justification ?
Is there any reason we should have any more ?
