"Stop the war/Don’t believe propaganda/They’re lying to you."

ADDED: "The English-language content of [Marina] Ovsyannikova’s poster reflected how some Russians are keen to show that the war against Ukraine is not being fought in their name. Despondent over their country’s future and afraid of possible conscription and closed borders, tens of thousands of Russians have fled to Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Central Asia and Europe since the Russian invasion began." 

From "A protester storms a live broadcast on Russia’s most-watched news show, yelling, ‘Stop the war!’" (NYT).

What is this War being fought over?
Kamala Harris proclaimed that "the United States stands firmly with the people of Ukraine in defense of the NATO alliance," thus announcing to the world that the Vice President now believed that Ukraine already was part of NATO.

The news caster doesn't even break stride.

Putin is F'd.

Now comes the scary part where the murderous dictator with enough nukes to kill everyone in the world multiple times and billions of dollars from selling oil at massively inflated prices desperately clings to power.

It is a good thing we have such a competent and morally strong regime that started this war looking out for us.

How can she say that. The special operation was a brilliant act of love by a genius.

The Slut Walk to grab our attention, focus our outlook, and deny women's dignity, agency, and reduce girls, women to negotiable commodities. Yeah, that too is her Choice... choice.

Marina Ovsyannikova was arrested after telling Russian TV viewers not to believe the propaganda.

She made a prerecorded message: “What is happening in Ukraine is a crime. And Russia is the aggressor here. And responsibility for this aggression rests on the conscience of a single man: Vladimir Putin.

My father is Ukrainian. My mother is Russian. And they’ve never been enemies. And this necklace I’m wearing is a symbol of that fact that Russia must immediately end this fratricidal war. And our fraternal peoples will still be able to make peace.

Unfortunately, I’ve spent many of the last few years working for Channel One, doing Kremlin propaganda, and I’m deeply ashamed of this. Ashamed that I allowed lies to come from the TV screen. Ashamed that I allowed the zombification of Russian people. We were silent in 2014 when all this had just started. We didn’t protest when the Kremlin poisoned Navalny. We just silently watched this anti-human regime at work.

And now the whole world has turned its back on us. And the next 10 generations won’t wash away the stain of this fratricidal war.

We Russians are thinking and intelligent people. It’s in our power alone to stop all this madness. Go protest. Don’t be afraid of anything. They can’t lock us all away.”

You'd lose that bet.

And about this Ukrainians and Nazis thing: understand this, a lot of Russians -- who view the Soviet Union as the saviors of the world who defeated Nazi Germany and that the world owes them -- throw about the word "Nazi" like the left does here. In other words, anyone who opposes Russia is a Nazi.

Why the Mariupol hospital was bombed

.... Igor said that in the last days of February, people in uniform came to the maternity hospital where his mother works. He does not know whether they were fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the nationalist battalion "Azov" (banned in the Russian Federation). The military knocked down all the locks, dispersed the staff of the maternity hospital, and set up firing points in the building in order, as they explained to the doctors, to prepare the “fortress of Mariupol” for defense. ....

.... 200 thousand civilians are trapped in Mariupol alone and held at gunpoint by the Azov battalion. The humanitarian situation in cities deteriorates rapidly. .... Locals report that Ukraine’s Armed Forces kicked out personnel of natal hospital #1 of the city of Mariupol and set up a firing site within the facility. ...

On March 7 some time after 20:00 UTC the maternity hospital #1 in Mariupol was mentioned at a .... meeting as being occupied by the Ukrainian military.

On March 7 ... Lenta.ru published a report from a reporter in Donbas who had interviewed someone who said that the hospital was occupied by possibly Azov or other military forces.

On March 9 about 15:30 UTC the hospital gets bombed and completely destroyed but with astonishing few alleged casualties, none of which are documented despite video records taken on the scene shortly after the incident.

Shortly thereafter President Zelensky uses the bombing to publicly press for a 'western' enforced 'no-fly zone' over Ukraine.

YouTube blocks Russia's information about the war

Our Community Guidelines prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events. We are now removing content about Russia’s invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy.

Today [March 11], we began blocking RT & Sputnik’s YouTube channels across Europe. Since Russia began its invasion in Ukraine, we’ve been focused on removing violative content & connecting people to trusted news & information. An overview of the steps we’ve taken the last few days.

In line with that, we are also now blocking access to YouTube channels associated with Russian state-funded media globally, expanding from across Europe. This change is effective immediately, and we expect our systems to take time to ramp up.

... we recently paused all YouTube ads in Russia. We’ve now extended this to all of the ways to monetize on our platform in Russia.

Our teams continue to closely monitor the situation, and are ready to take further action. We will continue to share updates as they become available.

Propaganda so crude and unconvincing that it falls apart at a second of scrutiny isn't effective. It works at dialing up hysteria to hate normal Russians among the NPC class, but little else. It doesn't work to demoralize the enemy (they're laughing), and it's not enough to get lukewarm supporters to fight in the street.

It's also why Zelensexy's claims that Ukraine has lit up 1 million Russian tanks isn't convincing. A thousand dead APCs should result in Stinger jumpcuts all over Tiktok, not occasional jingo posts showing one tank being destroyed.

Do you nitwits actually think that Ukraine has so few civilian casualties that they have to employ actors to pretend to be casualties? That makes no sense. They have thousands of civilian casualties (or do you not even believe that?); crisis actors not needed.

Obviously they needed to stage casualties at that hospital, because there were no real casualties at that place.

YouTube wants to prevent people from knowing what actually happened at that hospital.

Putin's Puppets are busy today. Wonder if they get paid in devalued rubles or dollars?

Of course, they use other Putin Puppets as their "sources" of speculation, and then share that info here as "fact".

Sorta like their comrades at Pravda, RT, etc.
