"President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday delivered a stark warning to Russian "traitors" who he said the West wanted to use as a "fifth column" to destroy the country. ..."Any people, and especially the Russian people, will always be able to distinguish the true patriots from the scum and the traitors, and just to spit them out like a midge that accidentally flew into their mouths."

..."I am convinced that this natural and necessary self-cleansing of society will only strengthen our country, our solidarity, cohesion and readiness to meet any challenge."

...Putin said the West was trying to divide Russia and provoke civil confrontation with the help of its "fifth column". "And there is one aim - the destruction of Russia," he said, adding that Russia would repel such efforts."

I don't see any difference between this and what Republicans say about Democrats all the time.

Compare:

"Russia has opened at least three criminal cases against people for spreading what it calls fake news about the Russian army on Instagram and other social media, the Investigative Committee law enforcement agency said on Wednesday."

to:

"President Trump, in an interview this week and on Twitter on Friday morning, again suggested criminal action against American journalists."

Dismaying, to say the least.
 
Excellent strong leadership.

Exactly what you need in the US . I can imagine your frustration and sadness if you are living through this last chapter of the Democratic party . .

Though in fairness , the swamp has needed a total clear out and Fascism as a policy has rather let you down. .

Well, the whole fake news complaint is a tool that the totalitarian dictatorships have been using for a long time. It even predates Hitler and the Lügenpresse (lying press).

 
What was happening in Ukraine before Putin's invasion?

It was a nice rosy garden paradise before the serpent Putin showed up -- wasn't it?

No -- there were certain evil things going on -- being done to a certain section of the population -- a certain minority.

You'll call it "propaganda" -- because that's an easy way to avoid challenging your prejudices & beliefs.
That way you don't have to think about or consider the other side's point of view.

Warning: some things are hard to look at -- even if it's better to do so.
