-Global Times- The US propaganda machine is in full gear, fanning the flames of war, sowing discord between Russia and China
A New York Times article on Friday argued that Russia is “losing the information war over Ukraine in much of the world, while in China, it’s winning big.” It claimed that China, as a “control freak” in terms of information, let down its digital defenses and allowed Russia’s propaganda machine to “help shape public perception of the war,” leading the Chinese internet being “overwhelmingly pro-Russia.”
As is known to all, when it comes to the war of public opinion, the West is the old hand, and is now very capable of this state apparatus which started in the UK and matured in the US. The West had a clear narrative for Russia’s so-called “invasion” of Ukraine, long before the conflict began.
The first was to exaggerate Russia’s “invasion,” and the second was to make it appear at the beginning of the conflict that Russia was conducting a surprise attack on Ukraine in order to occupy the country within a few days. But when there was not so much movement from the Russian side, the West quickly changed the tone, saying Russia was already “losing the war,” while overstating its internal discontent and the effect of Western sanctions.
The US Republican senator Lindsey Graham even openly suggested Russian President Vladimir Putin’s assassination, referring to Brutus, who was involved in assassinating the Roman emperor Julius Caesar, and Stauffenberg who was executed for attempting to kill Adolf Hitler in 1944. The standard procedure of this powerful opinion war conducted by the West also includes divorcing Russia from China, claiming that the bilateral strategic partnership has broken down, and that China’s image has been damaged because of Russia.
The truth is Chinese official media outlets in their reports use sources from all sides, including quotes from Russia, Ukraine, and Western reports, as well as their own front-line reports. It can be said that China’s media coverage is very balanced and unbiased. In covering this conflict, Chinese media do not take sides in public opinion, but view the conflict to be an unfortunate event.
It is time for the US to consider the danger of inflammatory rhetoric, the incalculable influence of public opinion on the deterioration of the situation. The US has mobilized its entire propaganda machine to portray Russia as the devil, and the current conflict as the “ultimate struggle” between democracy and “dictatorship.” Any fair description of this conflict is now defined as disinformation by the West, just like in the case of Xinjiang, where Western media will be hysterical if anyone claims there is no genocide.
But what about the Western mainstream media itself? In the age of we-media, official Western media outlets feel compelled to follow the trend of exaggeration incited by online influencers, who lack a vetting mechanism, to satisfy the bloodthirsty eagerness of its audience, leading some of the very best-selling media outlets in the West to use fake photos and videos to report the conflict.
The most extreme case was when German newspaper the Bild even used a video from the 2015 chemical explosion accident in North China’s Tianjin and said it’s from Russia’s bombing of Kiev in Ukraine. The Western press as a whole is horrible in its compliance with government actions in fanning the war frenzy, which does not deescalate the situation in any meaningful sense.
We can probably call the US the “last ideological power in history.” Almost every country, including Russia, has its own ideology, but the US is probably the last and the most powerful one to weaponize it, especially when it comes to social media, where the US has a monopoly on almost all worldwide platforms. Its blocking measures for Russian-speaking users are highly irrational, totally disregarding speech freedom slogan.
The US has stirred up public sentiment into a frenzy, forming a one-sided public opinion atmosphere. Russian side who live in this public opinion environment may make wrong decisions at times. Russia’s military actions are currently quite restrained and localized. However, this all-round anti-Russian sentiment fanning the flames could topple the public opinion and result in an unwanted outcome.
As a sovereign state, China is doing its utmost. It always tries its best to be an objective observer and mediator.
In order to fully understand the complex situation in Russia, it is necessary to understand the history of the Ukraine, according to maps of Europe in the Napoleonic it can be seen that the Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire a long with Poland, a map that I have in my collection clearly dated 1815, indicates that, so it is clearly understood by historians that the Ukraine except, for the period of independence 1918 to 1920, is part of Russia and nothing can change that.
USA-led Anglo Western propaganda is the most successful one (among almost all the propaganda machines), because most Westerners themselves don't even realize they have been brainwashed! Moreover, Western history books hide the shameful dark past crimes of centuries-long notorious global -
- Slavery,
- Colonialism,
- Colonization worldwide, so that they can safely put on a mask to hide their hypocritical images and continue to sell their lies and propaganda of - - Democracy,
- Freedom,
- Free speech/Free press", etc. Same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick.
It's all about 'Anglo Western Interests' above all else; 'Anglo Western Hegemony' at all costs and by all means. That is what it's all about and the rest is history.

This is the mentality of the mob when they're hungry and the Great Satan and poodle are both bankrupt, insolvent and desperate that they're robbing their own sheeple on the highways, whilst the streets of San Francisco are paved with excrement. They just want a return to the good times and if they don't get it they'll probably started building guillotines.
After five centuries of the poodle empire of plundering and three and a half centuries of enslaving blacks, they started both World Wars to impose jew-confetti on the planet at the Genoa Conference in 1922, then Bretton Woods in 1944. Whilst living high on the hog, they send their waste paper and waste plastic to Asia for recycling. But the party is coming to an end.
The banksters, goons & thugs are to blame. But they always try to shift the blame to Johnny Foreigner who is then plundered; the accused is really the victim.
This is why Poodleville has just created the right-wing propaganda channel, GB News. It features black presenters in order to deny they're bigots. But then they quietly and without fanfare, pulled a switcheroo, making rabble-rouser, Nigel Farage, a presenter. Farage denies he's a bigot. But referring to the RNLI as a "tax service" for refugees is clearly aimed at stoking hate.
The bigots amongst the mob will be easiest to turn. The mob know that Farage is lying to them. Some may even understand that it's banksters such as Farage who are to blame for their poverty. But speaking out won't put food on the table.
The likes of Farage, the zionnist Daily Telegraphic Nonsense and the Quackonomist (which one economist called a "statist rag") are offering a scapegoat and the opportunity to join a mob and share the spoils of plunder. The last refuge of a scoundrel is not patriotism but war, when being a pacifist is denounced as being a peacenik or even a traitor with threats of violence. The only reason they allowed Jeremy Corbyn, chair of the "Stop the War co-alition" to become Labour leader, was probably to pillory him. It's similar to the medieval stocks when the mob was encouraged to throw rotten fruit and vegetables. So they mounted an anti-semitic witch-hunt and rigged the election to give cokehead war criminal, BoJo the Clown the biggest landslide victory for almost a century. Julian Assange is completing a third year in prison on NO CHARGES. Sputnik and RT.com are blocked.
I thought they were breeding themselves dumber and dumberer. But they appear to be getting dumberer by the second. I must be something in the water. Perhaps I'm getting dumberer too but haven't noticed.
I've stopped letting their stooopidity annoy me quite as much and I just laugh at it now. After all, I manage to ride on the back of their fraudulent schemes to make a comfortable living.
Seriously! They're screwed! They think they have a shot at ruling the World, when the reality is they face extinction and are holding on by their finger-nails.
''The first was to exaggerate Russia’s “invasion,” '' It would be impossible to exaggerate the events in the Ukraine as anything but a calculated military assault by Russian forces with resultant effects including mass civilian casualties, tens of thousands of refugees being forced to flee their country, and the widespread destruction of property and infrastructure. It is impossible for anyone to attempt to ''deescalate the situation'' when shells and gunfire are being used to silence any words of resistance or for seeking peace.
"Trump news - live: Ex-president suggests ‘bombing the s*** out of Russia’ with US jets covered in Chinese flag", reports Poodleville's Independent.
That's similar to what convicted war criminal, Shrub, suggested for Iraq, except using a plane in UN markings.
It shows the sub-human, hate-filled mentality of these morons. War criminal, Rex Tillerson, accurately described war criminal, The Donald, as a "f**king moron". Similarly: Mr Cummings called his campaign to topple Mr Johnson “an unpleasant but necessary job” like “fixing the drains”, calling him “a complete ****wit”.

As if Putin’s fragile male ego isn’t enough to deal with, Truss must also contend with a liberal Twitteratti determined to stress that, while this may be a Russian attempt to divide a unified western front, she is still, in their opinion, a “blithering moron”.
