Why do the Russians always use images of American people in their propaganda?

This is clearly a photoshop of Rob Schneider.

BBC assault on antiwar academics was apparent product of UK intel plot​


Among Hayward and Schlosberg’s most unforgivable sins, according to the BBC special’s producer, Chloe Hadjimateou, was publicly urging their Twitter followers to question the declarations of Western officials and mainstream media outlets about April’s still-dubious Bucha incident, in which Russian troops allegedly massacred scores of military-aged men.

Yet neither academic had cast doubt on whether something terrible had actually taken place in Bucha. What’s more, Schlosberg has been an outspoken critic of Russian state-backed media who has condemned Moscow’s invasion many times, even stating that Russia may well have carried out a “civilian massacre” in the Ukrainian city, “on top of other heinous war crimes.”

However, such sentiments did not fit the program’s preordained agenda. So it was necessary for Schlosberg’s views to be grossly distorted to the point of libel, via omission, manipulation and selective editing.

Three weeks after broadcasting its defamatory attack on dissenting academics, the BBC was forced to issue a clarification and formal apology, acknowledging that Hadjimatheou had ascribed perspectives to Schlosberg he did not express, while nonetheless failing to address the most egregious misrepresentations in which she engaged. A further correction was published on August 5. These rare admissions of fault were prompted by Schlosberg filing formal complaints

Just not anyone with a shred of credibility...
He, she or it does seem to only tweet pro-Russo propaganda, but then the ones posted here as "evidence" of Ukraine winning are also swallowing canned western views of the war. Putin was wrong to start the war he was never going to win and he's caused a lot of hardship for the world with that. The west's response has been disproportionate with ewc of people's **** because they may be allied with Russia. Banning of sports people for expressing sympathy with Russia, etc. All very hypocritical when they before this let a lot of worse **** slide.

Many will try to get in front of this to promote their own political or financial agendas and do so by using their positions in state institutions and other government funded concerns as a platform.

Conspiracy theorists and panic mongers completely forget that every company has a strict code of conduct and you as an employee are a representative of that corporation or institution.

If you want to vent personal agendas, get something off of your chest or impress others with clever thoughts then go do that **** at home, but not on the company clock.

You will be seeing a lot more of it lately because all the opportunists are coming out of the wood work to get in on the action.

:ROFL: ... so people like you and a few sidekicks on this forum that won the war for Ukraine through spaming this thread from the beginning with "credible twitter sources:unsure:" showing all the Russian loses and Ukraines victories.
I have 21 posts in this latest version of this thread, and not one of them includes a link to a tweet... Past time for your delirium meds?

Who is hiding an invading force in a Nuclear facility?
It's pointless. These hardcore groupies will default to the stance of "Russia will lay the smack down and everybody else needs to sing to their tune". Whether that makes sense or not. Is practical or not. Is humane or not.
Nothing else will get through. Since that is the little white swan stance de jour. And it will likely remain so until Russia finds a way to extricate itself from the godawful mess it psychotically made and now finds itself in. i.e. When Putin finds a way to remain the leader of Russia while doing the right thing (for a change). Or the choice is taken out of his hands.

People are wasting their attention on these voluntary mouth pieces. You can practically predict what their replies will be in any case. Most here have had enough exposure to do so with fairly good accuracy. Which is actually no good at all. That's part of your brain now.

Effectively any person worth their weight has to support Ukraine in fear of being ostracised and publicly shamed

It is the only response I am willing to give the Pro Russian group here.
Strangely enough, I have not yet gotten a single reply from them. It's almost as if they don't want to acknowledge the fact that this war could end today, if only the Russians would get out of the country they are trying to invade.
