I get the impression that painting Ukraine as terrorists is important inside of Russia…Although you make good points, the external propaganda does not seem to be as important to Russia as you might think.
Just to be clear, I am mostly neutral but definitely lean toward supporting Putin and Russia. I strongly believe trade relations with Russia should be normalized and that Ukraine should receive no American subsidies. I don’t mind selling arms to Ukraine as long as they either pay cash or the credit risk is minimized.
I sometimes forget that much of what Russia does is for local consumption because of the bubble they keep their people in.

That is why your threads could be useful if you scan the pro-Russia threads online that you enjoy doing and try to pick up a good feel for what their side is really thinking at the grassroots level, a sort of ‘wisdom of the crowd’ thing.
