russia threatens to destroy the whole world. zelenskyy turned out to be cooler than putin. war makes it easier to cover up fa failures in i the economy. putin must go. he is leading russia into the abyss. all i separate headlines on onef the biggest pro kremlin state controlled news sites in russia. and it wasn t just the headlines that they changed, each one of those that i described to you, it goes it a whole article that has also been rewritten. i mean in a country where they do in the allow journalism anymore, they do not allow criticism of the government and especially of the war, these sentences, posted today on a russian news site,da these were like a death con 1 level threat to the state. look at this. quote russian president vladimir putin bears full responsibility for the senseless and bloody war against ukraine, guided by far-fetchedby pretexts about
that no one outside of russia much cares about but in this case there was rampant speculation that putin would use victory day today, thatn he wod use his speech on this huge day, this huge occasion that the military parade and all of the rest of it, there was widespread expectations we use the speech to declare something about the war that he has started in ukraine. speculation that he might declare victory himself, and announce how russiaf, intended lead things in ukraine. or maybe he didin the opposite. maybe he would formally declare war. no longer call this a special military operation, maybe he call it a war, declare war, and announce that russia had not just begun the fight and call up a mobilization of more russian troops to goza into ukraine and permanently occupy it. widespread international and wellwi informed speculation tha putin was going to announce something today about this insane war that he has started,
some way to get out or get way further in. that s what everybody thought he was going to do today and then he did not do that. he gave a standard putin talking points speech. including all the weird stuff about how ukraine was going to attack russia. really? and so this was a defensive invasion. and the war is going great. and everybodyng else but him is nazi. a standard weird con spear toral blather. he announced nothing new at all. not even weird insane backwards justification for what he said. why didn t he make the dog bark today? hackers who got the tv stations, in russia, and braved dissident journalists and regulard russi people, know that this would haveop been the day for putin, this day is all the symbolism he wants for this war, he spent so much time trying to make this war seem like some variation on world lwar, two when he finall gets to w the day, that
minute, predictably, kgb officer, obviously guarding red square, on the people, beat the hell out of them and most were arrested and went off to prison. many, many years ago. that was a one minute long, almostut invisible protest, andt him menace repercussions with the dissident movement, inspired by, it became more and more overtly, andre softa, leader of the dissident movement. it is hard to know what instances like this, like this demonstration on lenta.ru, incredible bravery, or that woman who some weeks ago, ran behind the tv presenter and also during the nightly news, yes. incredible. and my point, the presumption is that everybody is for this war, because everybody listens to
threats to russia, the head of state plunged two neighboring peoples into a war in which there will only be losers no winners and thrust rush that into the 90s that he loves to scare russias with and he has turned into a dictator who began to believe in conspiracy theories and lostpi touch with reality. right now, putin is depriving millions of rushness of their future. and taking the lives of innocent ukrainians. vladimir putin must immediately stop the war and resign. it is one thing to read that in a western news source or to read that in any news source in the world anywhere other than in russia, but to read o that in russia? again, today, that was a russian major news site today, altered to include that article and dozens of others like it. and to start go through them, you notice there were a few things that were consistent in each of those articles posted.
