Ukraine’s American-backed fight against Russia is being waged not only in the blood-soaked trenches of the Donbas region but also on what military planners call the cognitive battlefield — to win hearts and minds.
A sprawling constellation of media outlets organized with substantial funding and direction from the U.S. government has not just worked to counter Russian propaganda but has supported strong censorship laws and shutdowns of dissident outlets, disseminated disinformation of its own, and sought to silence critics of the war, including many American citizens.
Economist Jeffrey Sachs, commentator Tucker Carlson, journalist Glenn Greenwald, and University of Chicago Professor John Mearsheimer are among the critics on both the left and the right who have been cast as part of a “network of Russian propaganda.”
But the figures targeted by the Ukrainian watchdog groups are hardly Kremlin agents. They simply have forcefully criticized dominant narratives about the war.
Sachs is a highly respected international development expert who has angered Ukrainian officials over his repeated calls for a diplomatic solution to the current military conflict. Last November, he gave a speech at the United Nations calling for a negotiated peace.
Mearsheimer has written extensively on international relations and is a skeptic of NATO expansion. He predicted that Western efforts to militarize Ukraine would lead to a Russian invasion.
Greenwald is a Pulitzer Prize-winning independent journalist who has criticized not just war coverage but media dynamics that suppress voices that run counter to U.S. narratives.
“What they mean when they demand censorship of ‘pro-Russia propaganda’ is anything that questions the US/EU role in the Ukraine war or who dissents from their narratives,” Greenwald has observed.

“It’s why they get so vicious and defensive when we criticize their excessive propaganda.”
And also note how they NEVER criticize Ukraine, even when their war crimes are CLEAR AS DAY - they instead seem to celebrate those crimes, like the attack on concert in Moscow.
Another Biden stooge bemoaning the failure of the WEF proxy war in Ukraine.
If you just close your eyes and click your heels together 3 times and say Russia Russia Russia, Ukraine will look like it is winning.
Yes, that’s all propaganda by propagandists. A crying shame.
This is a repeat from 110 years ago, when voices advocating for the Central powers (Austria, Germany, Turkey) got drowned out. Only those papers rooting for the Entente (Britain, France) could be read. The British severed transatlantic cables from Germany to the US and Canada.
Woodrow Wilson won a second term on the promise of, “he kept us out of war.” Then broke that vow barely a month into his second term. Watch Joe Biden (or whoever controls him) volunteer America for the Ukraine war after the Democrats steal the 2024 election.
That’s why I resolved to help any straight white man dodge the draft, who wants to, if the GOP quislings in Congress let the Biden regime reimpose it. No straight white man should ever fight or die for the Democrats or WEF!
LOL Barb is a little older than that.

The Laugh is at your expense RevUMCGreatGrandma.
“your expense RevUMCGreatGrandma”
Of course, not true. However you continue to use intruthfulisources sooooo no one pays attention to false information.Kind of sad, because I believe you have the ability to comment with insight.
However, what a Blessing it would be to be a Great-Grandmother
PARDON TYPO
Untruthful sources
What Ukie Propaganda do you have for us today?
“United Methodists strike down ban on ordination of gay clergy”
https://religionnews.com/2024/05/01/united-methodists-strike-down-ban-on-ordination-of-gay-clergy/
This is the denomination you belong to.
Thought you might enjoy reading.
It’s disgusting to me.
How true mommy.
No one pays attention to your sources because we know they're all BS.
Can "intruthfulisources" be found in an English dictionary or is it a Ukrainian word?
And thanks for all your positive reinforcement. It's great that when you're not posting propaganda, your posting self- help methods...you know, like staring at grey rocks.
True. And they don’t criticize Biden either. There’s at least one here who defends Biden. She particularly gets bent out of shape when “10% for the big guy” is mentioned.
“Can “intruthfulisources” be found in an English dictionary or is it a Ukrainian word”
I don’t recognize that word as an English word.
So it has to be YouCraynee word.
