which brings us way back to early in the thread.
do you think there is any such thing as a media organisation without an agenda?
seriously. what lies are these you think the russian population is being told?
link me to a mainstream russian news source.
the only lies shown so far is the western media regarding the current validity of the current ukrainian government.
afaik the Minsk ii agreement permits russian peacekeepers in donetsk. that is not the same thing as ukrainian born Russians turning Facist racist expletives into chowder.
the only people here that seem taken in by propoganda seem to have English as a first and only language.

According to Zisels, neo-Nazi organisations – which have prospered in Russia for over 20 years, and fuel tensions in the country after the fall of the Soviet Union – are now operating in Ukraine after being active in Moldova and Georgia.
Zisels says the most powerful far-right unit is the Russian National Unity (RNU) movement, led by ultra-nationalist Aleksandr Barkashov.Barkashov visited Ukraine twice this year, in March and May, and is currently based in Donetsk.
This paramilitary organisation, which advocates the expulsion of non-Russians from the country, was founded in 1990. Its red-and-white emblem resembles the swastika icon used by the German Nazi party in the 1930s and 1940s.
Aleksandr Dupin - philosopher and Russian ultranationalist - is said to have close connections to the Kremlin and Russian military
Dugin is also one of the greatest supporters of Igor Strelkov, the charismatic separatist leader who recently resigned from his ministry of defence post in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
Russian Neo-Nazis Fighting for Moscow in Ukraine, Ukrainian Jewish Leader Says
In an astounding claim, the Russian government yesterday defended a neo-Nazi group for orchestrating nearly 1,500 mostly-anti-gay kidnappings across Russia in the past 18 months.
But neither party was able to build a power base in the elections of 2014. In the parliamentary elections in October, Svoboda took just under 5 per cent of the vote, the threshold needed to enter parliament. The party had managed to win more than 10 per cent of the vote in the elections of 2012.
Right Sector won less than 2 per cent of votes in the parliamentary elections.
The leaders of Svoboda and Right Sector - Oleh Tyahnybok and Dmytro Yarosh - were also snubbed in the country's presidential election, with both men getting around 1 per cent of the vote.
The conflict in eastern Ukraine has reportedly attracted recruits with far-right and neo-Nazi views from a number of foreign countries, with extremists choosing to fight for both sides for ideological reasons.
Several media organisations have interviewed a former Swedish soldier called Mikael Skillt, an apparent neo-Nazi who is fighting with the Azov Battalion.
According to other reports, Belarussians, Poles, Italians, Serbs and Spanish volunteers have been spotted fighting for both sides.
Other young Russian right wingers are fighting for the separatists under the banner of "Novorussia" - the name for part of Ukraine annexed by Tsarist Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I, along with nearly all of my peers, had to leave the UK because it has no future.
That future is defined by the head.
Took with us several $Billion of GDP in future earnings.
Make of that what you will.
as for:
->According to Zisels, neo-Nazi organisations – which have prospered in Russia for over 20 years, and fuel tensions in the country after the fall of the Soviet Union – are now operating in Ukraine after being active in Moldova and Georgia.
well, yeah, exactly???????
according to the "Russian and US propganda"
The Russian soldiers ARE FIGHTING THESE GROUPS
Hence why they are no longer in Russia, and are now in the Ukraine.
According to the US state department, and "Russian Propoganda"
The US is FUNDING THESE GROUPS
according to the Ukraine media - they PUT THE LEADER OF THESE GROUPS IN CHARGE OF THE UKRAINE MILITARY
____
What wasn't clear before, is. If it this was just Russia/Putin creating "enemies" to fight with.
But since we now know they have the full backing of the US/UK. that seems highly unlikely.
Which is why pretty much the entire world (outside of the US/UK "special relationship) isn't on your side.

the only evidence you have for this is "apparent" and "reportedly".
as I said. that was a perfectly valid theory.
before they got their own divisions in the Ukraine military and open funding from the us.
that some soldiers in some divisions have far right views is "proof" of squat.
"official" russian policy is and always has been kill the nazis.
previously we didn't know. now we do. that.
"official" ukraine/US/UK policy is fund the nazis and make laws to portray them as acceptable.
oh and BTW.
there's quite a lot more involved in being a nazi than just hating manlove and kiddy porn.
both far left and far right share that distaste.
it's only the architects of soddom and gomorrah who are into that kind of sizzle.

every military in the entire world has it's fair share of undesirable views. They generally know to keep their mouths shut.
The difference we are talking about here is at the command and control level and stated objectives.
Not sure why you keep mentioning Putin - who is no less the figure head than Elizabeth.
Everything "Russia" is doing has been approved by the 616 members of the Russian Parliament.
It's what makes it "Russia and Putin" doing it.
Obviously stuff happens in their country that they don't approve of, and they take what steps they can to remedy it.
Just like any other country.

No different than you claiming the british parliament is in control and not the monarchy.
Personally I think your being a bit ridiculous on both counts.
Head of state has "the last say" on most things, and declares war when needed. And recognises states (so DPR is screwed on that one from the UK, Elizabeth can't even recognise her own reflection). That is what a Head of State does. Be that the UK, Russia, the US or Saudi Arabia, any country in fact.
->I showed you that assumption is false since the permission they gave to use troops was revoked. Yet Putin has Russian soldiers in Ukraine dying.
I can say with pretty much 100% certainty there are no Russian Soldiers in the Ukraine. and if there are - no more than a handful on "black ops".
Or are you confusing the DPR with the Ukraine?

so why aren't you blaming the russian equivalent of David Cameron
en.m.wikipedia.org...
Cameron still meets with Beth once a week afaik.
although those meetings are well above top secret. I reckon these days they consist mostly of proverbs repeated over and over.
Because in russia he has no powe Putin is the president being number 2 guy in a dictator ship means nothing.
