The war has been going on for a whole year: what have we learned?
I won’t say pretentious words now, of which there are already enough today. You are smart people and understand everything. But I think it’s important to record a few facts now. What have we learned this year? We learned that the Russian authorities are blatantly lying. He lies to everyone - both to his citizens and from high international stands. In general, everything that any Russian official or deputy says has nothing to do with real life. But people believe this because propaganda works successfully. This year we have become convinced that Russians are ready to believe any nonsense that is shown to them on TV.
By the way, you can’t hide from this on the Internet either: a whole army of bots and trolls works for the Kremlin, who write delusional comments on YouTube and telegram, spreading lies. This is done with one purpose - to plant doubt in our heads. The doubt is that white is white and black is black. If a person begins to think “not everything is so simple,” then this is the work of Kremlin propaganda. And all the bloggers and media came out who pretended to be opposition, but in reality turned out to be pro-Putin. Just look who is afraid to call a war a war, who is trying, under the guise of objectivity, to spread yet another lie from the Kremlin. So these are propagandists, just cunning ones. We also learned how many Putinists there are in the USA. It turns out there are a lot of such people, they walk around New York, Washington, Los Angeles. And at the same time they love Putin and support the war.
We also learned that America knows much more about Russia than Russia itself knows about itself. After all, a year ago, American intelligence proved on its fingers: Putin is preparing a war, there will be a disaster. But all the so-called experts from Russia unequivocally repeated: “no, this cannot happen.” And here is another fact that became obvious this year. In Russia there is a monstrous stratification of society and disunity of people. Poverty, deception... and all this leads to monstrous cruelty and cynicism.
