Ukraine Thread

So the talk show bird story looks credible when compared to the US Congress... not that that is a very high standard...

The story I mentioned was just a sample. Here is one more:
A woman said that she had witnessed it herself. After Ukrainian military entered Slovyansk (left by the separatists in July) they gathered all the poplulation of the town in the central square. Then they took a boy of three dressed only in his underwear and crucified him on the announcement board in the presence of his mother.
The problem is not in the stories, but in the people in Russia most of whom are ready to believe any boogie story about Ukrainian nazi junta. And Russian TV keeps pumping out such coverages. That is why I think that Ukrianians and Russians are unlikely to have the attitude to each other they have had for the last 50-70 years. In the long run it is worse than the current crisis which will end sooner or later.

What I'm getting out is propaganda works even blatantly fake propaganda because people have done more malicious and stupid things then what is talked about. Most people who watch TV don't look at multiple sources or even review the source they are getting it from.

Good rule of thumb if Al Jazeera, BBC and Fox News all agree on something then it is probably true. Otherwise take it with a grain of salt.

Given that the majority of Westerners can't do that, it would be much easier to dupe an audience who may not have been brought up with such critical thinking and a culture that questions authority.

Funny clip of Putin at the summit in Minsk:

Seems like Europe is starting to get a little tired of Mr. Putin.

That's the reversed clip, and the guy holding the chair is Lukashenko, if Lukashenko represents Europe or people getting tired of Putin, I'll eat a banana*.







*I might eat a banana anyway.
