Foreign Affairs is a Kremlin propaganda outlet now?
Foreign Affairs is certainly propaganda, just not of the Kremlin variety.
Lol exactly, it's the last place you'd expect to find anything challenging the U.S. narrative.
Considering there's people in this thread complaining were spreading Russian propaganda by posting a press release FROM UKRAINE I'm starting to think their accusations may not be entirely in good faith.
What part of this reads as a "surrender" to you?
It's not how I'd characterize it personally, but it's what that other person was referring to.
Ah, all good then.
“Reportedly” means “others report”.
And your sources for your beliefs are where?
Or do only people you disagree with require sources, so that way you can keep gleefully believing whatever the fucking and spewing it everywhere you go
Hmm let's look at the source on that: Ukrainska Pravda, a Ukranian language paper headquartered in Kyiv, owned by a Ukranian investment company also headquartered in Kyiv.
Kremlin propaganda!
Sigh.
You do understand how propaganda works, right? It works by zooming in on molehills until they appear like mountains. So while I wouldn’t rule out that Johnson the Idiot said something unwise to Zelensky government, I also don’t automatically think that it means Zelenski was “forced to not give up”.
Why else would Ukraine have reversed course if not for one of its NATO puppetmasters commanding it to? Either it's that, or BJ making a really impassioned argument for sending a bunch of Ukranians to an early grave and Zelensky fell for it, or Zelensky just changed his mind all on his own and the timing is a pure coincidence.
What leverage exactly do you think Johnson had over Ukraine? He hasn’t even got leverage over his toilet seat.
Fuck you're not even sighing anymore, you're really invested now, aren't you?
Also nice goalpost movement, you're a dickhead
Ukraine has the most corrupt state in the world, the UK has a shit load of money.
You are not immune to propaganda.
Who gives a shit what you "wouldn't rule out" when even western media goes against you? Get your head out of your ass
Okay, but it is literally a propaganda source that is aligned with Ukraine lmao. We know it is propaganda, we are presenting it because even the ukrainian propaganda acknowledges it as factual.
Heavens to Betsy sigh
Oh fuck lmao, it’s a bot! It all makes sense now
