Russian citizens don't believe Putin's propaganda

[bill718]

The Kremlin is losing control over mass media in Russia, a recent study by the Moscow-based Levada Center indicates. Younger Russians are increasingly tuning out state television and turning to independent news websites and social media to find out what’s going on in the world, the report states. Over the years, the number of respondents who named it on the list of regularly watched [outlets] has decreased from 72 percent to 47 percent,” the report says.

All this is bad news for Vladimir Putin, Russia’s leader. Putin’s political machine, especially during his second stint in power, has depended upon an information monopoly. Over the past two decades, it has relied heavily on state-controlled television channels to shape Russian public opinion and marshal support for its political agenda.

State television’s influence over Russians is slipping – report

A decade ago, roughly 80 percent of Russians believed what the TV told them. These days, the figure hovers around 55 percent

This is a way of redirecting the fact that many Americans don't believe America's Democrat Deep State propaganda

I'm guessing Putin's popularity will slip as he re-learns the lesson that it is easy to invade a country but way harder to get out. Afghanistan is a great example but for Russia and the US.

It's probably not possible to get an honest answer to a popularity poll in Russia. I'm sure most people there are not that thrilled with the crap economy and kleptomaniac authorities but saying so just might get you erased.

Lots of pictures out there of Russians protesting, War costs money and average Russians are not doing to well.

Doesn't really matter what the Russian or American or British or any nationality of people believe. Governments around the world shall do as they please, and citizens of the world everywhere will continue to bow their collective heads in abject cowardice. Today: the Ukraine. Tomorrow: could be anyone, anywhere. When the bombs start falling on your neighborhoods, take a moment to glance in the mirror. The man or woman in every reflection everywhere is to blame.

The only way the Russian military will lose to Ukrainian forces is if it nukes itself by accident.

He sounds a lot like our Establishment leaders, totally dependent on Fake News media to cover for them.

A blatant heartless attack on a peaceful neighboring country that has done no wrong to Russia and offers no threat tells you the kind of leader Putin is. Can you believe that this cruel communist dictator is admired by Trump and his Cult? We know that Trump loves dictators and wants to be one but he has picked one of the worst, which reinforces the commonly held opinion that Putin has something on Trump. Wonder what it is???

We can agree that Russia's invasion of the Ukraine has cost the lives of many innocent people; men, women and children to boot. In hindsight, and although I was gung-ho at the time to be a part of them, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq also cost the lives of countless civilians who were just trying to get through their everyday lives. Government is a cult. The military is a cult. Those faithful to the aforementioned cults will always worship them in the blood of the innocent. Beyond that, the world is using the Ukrainian people as a sacred, golden calf to be cut to pieces on the hallowed altar of acceptable collateral damage. War is like the Superbowl for ghouls and goblins everywhere. Someday such a war will come here, to Ma and Pa United States neighborhoods everywhere, and we will become the sacrificial lambs for the world's war whores to salivate over, as we're led to the slaughter.

Putin thinks he can win the ground and air game against them. So far, Ukraine has held up and really just needs to weed out every Putin military. Cause they have officially gone full USSR.

For one you have the almost unbelievable freedom to criticize the leaders of your country without getting jailed or worse. The vast majority of humans do not have that.

Our media is at the Baghdad Bob level now. We only know what is spewed to us. So, if the Russians do not take Ukraine in the first few hours, then the Ukraine people have spunk. War can have eddys and turns. And truthfully, Putin did not give them a long-term air war bombardment which would have ended this faster. The Russians seem to be really trying to keep the damage to a minimum at this point.

We rat ourselves out every minute of everyday. The War on Terror was also a battle against privacy. We lost.
