I really don’t mean this in a condescending way, and I understand why someone consuming certain kinds of media might think this… but this is truly delusional. So wildly at odds with the reality of the situation that you would probably be better served just not reading about the conflict at all than by reading whatever it is you’ve been reading.
I intake media from all sides, it’s important to know the scope of propaganda coming from every outlet. Fortunately there’s enough sources to corroborate the information I’ve relayed here. For the Russian propaganda machine, the same cannot be said. How’s Prigozhin doing?
Propaganda is rhetoric designed to produce support for or against particular decisions/actions. Russian propaganda is shaped to meet Putin’s goals, but easily disproven and consistently, blatantly false.
I’m spurring debate in a conflict ridden world. It’s important to understand and discuss all sides, but to maintain an understanding of historical context to guide this discourse.
Under your own definition earlier propaganda would apply to individuals as well, not only states. Also I’d disagree that propaganda is one sided. Good propaganda encompasses and undermines other viewpoints.
As for spurring debate and maintaining an understanding for historical context. How do you contextualize among others things like this:
Biden predicting in 1997 what would happen if NATO expands

If Biden knew that Russia wouldn’t tolerate NATO expansion, why push for it anyway if war is on the table?

What do you understand as propaganda? And how do you designate what is and what isnt (If you do)

Sounds kinda like kinda what you’re trying to do here. Would you agree?

How do you differentiate between propaganda and “spurring debate”?
As usual:
Propaganda generally originates from a state and is one sided. Debate can originate between any two individuals.
