Lots of propaganda and misinformation on all sided of the Ukrainian issues, but the pro-Russian propaganda seems, to me at least, to be the most widespread.

Putin said it best: The Ukrainian uprising was a coup. He is intervening to protect Russians. I find that to be legitimate.

The US State Department admits that they spent $5 billion on bringing Ukraine within the Western sphere of influence.

At home, this intervention looks to be one of the most unpopular decisions Putin has ever made. The Kremlin’s own pollster released a survey on Monday that showed 73% of Russians reject it. In phrasing its question posed in early February to 1,600 respondents across the country, the state-funded sociologists at WCIOM were clearly trying to get as much support for the intervention as possible: “Should Russia react to the overthrow of the legally elected authorities in Ukraine?” they asked. Only 15% said yes — hardly a national consensus.

That seems astounding in light of all the brainwashing Russians have faced on the issue of Ukraine. For weeks, the Kremlin’s effective monopoly on television news has been sounding the alarm over Ukraine. Its revolution, they claimed, is the result of an American alliance with Nazis intended to weaken Russia.

I don't know about that... I watched U.S. TV "news" for the first time in many months yesterday. The propaganda is overwhelming!

The political establishment and its propaganda machine are in overdrive trying to convince everyone that Putin's actions are NOT the result of U.S. weakness! that the obvious is not true!
