    I point out that Zelensky is a corrupt piece of shit (who also wants to kill me and every other Ukrainian).

    I am obviously a Russian bot/shill (and definitely not a Ukrainian guy).

    Ok.

    People are protesting in the streets against the corrupt piece of shit. Actual people. Ukrainian people. People actully living in Kiev and other big cities of Ukraine. Western fucking media covers the protests.

    Well, you shouldn’t believe this, this news is disinformation, because anything bad about the corrupt piece of shit is disinformation. And even if it is true, those people, like everybody else who hates the corrupt piece of shit, are Russian agents.

    Duh.

    Have they been discredited as pro Russian elements and warned that they will be treated as such?

      I’m sure the regime is thrilled to have thousands of new volunteers to send to the front.

          But the two arent connected. If anything having a competent and powerful anti corruption investigative tool would help them fight Russia given the problems with corruption faced by the Ukranian military. Like do you think the Russians have every news agency in the west questioning this by the balls so they’ll say that making an corruption agency less independent is bad?

          Yeah, NATO truly is evil like that. Fortunately Russia is liberating town after town on the daily now.

          Oh buddy, the organized disinformation campaign about Ukraine has been on the part of the US and has been going on since at least 2008. You’re just finally seeing it unravel and you’re disoriented.

              The Eastern provinces that the neonazi-led Ukrainian government was ethnically cleansing, and who had been asking for Russia’s help (and to join Russia) since long before February of of 2022? Yes. Yes, they should be Russia.

                  Appreciate the informative list of links! (Very common u/davel W).

                  Also lol at my comment being reported to mods as propaganda for stating a simple, verifiable fact. Always funny how the dronies think it’s “propaganda” just for going against what they want to believe even when their beloved western sources reported on it back before it became no-no to do so. (A NATO No-No, if you will). I’d ask what instance the [redacted] reporter was from, but I guess that might give away exactly who it was.

              They are not a brainwashed pro-NATO dronie that keeps going ‘everybody who contradicts the people that say, “Iraq has WMDs” must be spreading disinformation!’ Seems like you think that everybody who doesn’t buy your propaganda is Russian for some reason.

                The irony of these people who are just utterly saturated by western imperialist propaganda (which they refuse to acknowledge) while calling everything even slightly critical of the NATO narrative “rUsSiAn DiSiNfOrMaTiOn” will never cease to amaze and disappoint me.
