I’m not saying that this is the watershed moment when everyone realises that Ukraine actually has very serious problems and that Russians aren’t orcs. But if even the BBC is acknowledging that something is not quite right with these fighters, it could be like the “no, we have to say that Azov are outright Nazis” moment.

Maybe the facade will start to slip.

    The people are already so brainwashed they will even knowingly support warcrimes against russia.

    And than i always see lines like nazi germany should never happen again, but than we have those sheeps in the west who easily hate people from media report. If they were born in 1937 they were 100% nazis themselfs.

      Many libs are supporting nazi ideology regardless of Azov, some are not even pretending nazis were bad or a mistake. It’s disgusting.

    Facade slipped long time ago, but it doesn’t matter. Even after Abu Ghraib pictures, Obama and the libs did more imperialism when they came in. Sometimes people know what side their bread is buttered, it’s the imperialist side.

    I think you are being way too optimistic and reading way too much into this.

    I don’t think the western propaganda machine will allow public opinion to change on Ukraine until long after the war is over.

      Like I say, I’m not hopeful. But little bits of information leaking out puts the MSM in a position where they can’t deny that these guys aren’t Marvel superhero good guys.

        Two reasons. Firstly the video is out there now and gone viral so they cant pretend it doesnt exist so they better cover it themselves to get their perspective known, and secondly if this all backfires one day they can say they did report the nazis and nobody listened.
