I don’t swallow that either.
But “our” propaganda is to advance the case for continuing with our treaty obligations toward Ukraine, by supporting their defense. And that takes the form of military support, supply, humanitarian assistance, and diplomatic pressure.
“Our” propaganda is not promoting a culture of genocidal hatred against the Russian people. It is targeted specifically at the activity of Russia’s political and military commanders, not just recently but for over twenty years.
Russia’s hackers were waging a cyber war on European and American hospitals at the instruction of the Putin led regime, YEARS before they invaded Ukraine. We did not retaliate because we were so desperate to “not poke the bear.”
Muscovy revanchist propaganda clearly does have ambitions that ours does not. It’s entirely about slandering all Ukrainian resistance as Nazi led, conflating Ukraine’s Europeanisation with Russophobia, and painting EU NATO (that’s never once fired so much as a shot into Russia) as a forever enemy bent on destroying Russia.
Europe or Ukraine don’t want to destroy Russia, they’d much rather keep buying Russian grain, coal, oil and gas without having to listen to the regime’s incessant paranoid warmongering aggression.
Well, in Ukraine's case, I think it's more nearly true that: Ukraine doesn’t want to destroy Russia, they’d much rather just sell Ukrainian grain, coal, oil and gas to Europe without having to listen to the Putin regime’s incessant paranoid warmongering aggression.
Of course, that would cut into Russia's profits.
