I thought the biggest difference between Russian and US propaganda was that Russians knows its propaganda. I remember I heard an interview of one of these Ukrainian Nazi leaders, Yan Petrovskiy, running much of the "Ukraine Nazi leaders civil war" where Putin later invaded. He is a Russian born in Norway. So is the Russian propaganda getting better, or are Russians getting dumber to believe it?
What are you trying to say? That the many documented breaches of Minsk 1 and 2 didn't happen, that Azov battalion didn't get integrated into the military and government, or that observing the events that led to war is propaganda?
If Putin said that grass is green, then that doesn't suddenly make it purple.
I think you need to consider that you yourself are not immune to propaganda and your idea of what propaganda is; how it disseminates; what purpose it serves; and who the largest purveyors of it is in the west is lacking.
I reject reality because reality is just parroting Russian talking points.
Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.
