    Same strategy as Hitler, staged actors faking an attack as a reason to “counterattack”. Not surprising. Russians are the real Nazis.

      Hitler’s playbook is also being reused in India.
      Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s inflation. The chief minister of Assam (one of states) belongs to the Hindu supremacist BJP (PM Modi’s political party as well) and he has been blaming Muslims for the sky-high food inflation. Muslims are lynched to death by violent Hindu supremacists almost every day, and they who do not have the power to prevent this are somehow charged with having power to control food prices? The only problem with Hemant Biswa Sarma’s lies are that they will be used as another excuse to harm Muslims.

      The world would be a better place if we could gather Nazis and wannabe-Nazis and fascists together on an island and leave them there.

    Sadly nothing in this is new or surprising. Only thing that baffles me is, that it’s been so many years since russian lies started, and how long they have been doing it in order to get “permission” to fully invade.

    The question is: are Russians listening? Probably not and Putin will still have strong support.

      They don’t want to listen, they don’t want to know. Being interested in politics in Russia typically shortens your life.

    The average Russian must have no idea what the real world is like. Literally drowning in prop.
