This is a lesson in propaganda. Were you convinced into believing that Ukraine could win the war, or even take back Crimea?

Do you remember all the propaganda when Ukraine was pleading for more weapons from the West for their counteroffensive? Did you believe the hype?

If you answer ‘yes,’ to any of these, how do you feel now? Do you think you were manipulated into believing lies by people with an agenda? Are you going to be more skeptical of the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ from now on?

Are you going to get mad at whoever mentions this?

    I believed Ukraine could win, with enough help. I remember Ukraine pleading for help in order to win.

    I feel the same now. I never doubted Ukraine had an agenda, their agenda was to remain independent. That’s not sinister, and it’s an agenda I support.

    I am pretty irritated at you specifically for the way you’re “mentioning” this, framing it as sinister and underhanded instead of the forthright plea for help to remain independent that it always was.
