12 Western war propaganda norms about Ukraine


A quick cut-out-and-keep guide to 12 of the most commonly used war propaganda norms dispended daily by Kyiv, Washington and London and repeated verbatim by The Guardian etc:

.
  • No Russian missiles, drones or guided bombs ever hit ANY target, they are all shot down – all damage caused is a result of the ‘falling debris’ of the shot down missiles as they fall.

 

  • No Russian missile etc is aimed at a military target (much less hits one) – inexplicably the Russians prefer to target car washes, shops, hospitals, tractors, schools and houses.

 

  • Ukrainian forces only launch successful missile strikes against military targets with 100% accuracy.

 

  • Ukrainian forces only ever win on the battlefield – they never lose, fail to make progress or run away.

 

  • For every Ukrainian soldier that dies a dozen Russian soldiers are killed.

 

  • On a daily basis The Russian army is running out of supplies, ammunition, missiles, troops, vehicles and soldiers. They will run out again tomorrow and every day next week.

 

  • The Russian army is poorly trained, stupid, drunk, poorly equipped, has low morale, is cowardly, in chaos and evil.

 

  • Ukrainian counter-offensives never happen in real time, they simply don’t get reported until they succeed in some way and if they don’t succeed then they never happened and no troops were lost during the non-event. Thus as the current huge summer offensive is not going well so Kyiv refuses to admit it is happening at all.

 

  • Everyone in the world supports Ukraine and believes in the western narrative about the conflict 100%.

 

  • Russians are beset by infighting at every level and the vast majority of Russians want to rise up and overthrow Putin.

 

  • The best way to peace in Ukraine is to send more weapons and more money.

 

  • The collective West has a free press but Russia does not.

 

Oh and all Ukrainians generally are patronisingly patted on the head by western media types as resilient, ingenious, courageous and 100% loyal to Zelensky and his cronies – any videos you may have seen of terrified young men being dragged kicking and screaming into unmarked vans in Ukraine never happened and nobody is being sent to the front as cannon fodder against their will – unless they are Russian because they are brutal subhuman orcs with no will of their own.
.
Now you don’t need to bother watching news about the war in Ukraine – the place names will change but the above won’t – well not until these crazies lead us into a nuclear war anyway.

Since 2013 I have worked on this Ad-Free site: trying to give a voice to those without the power or agency to speak out for themselves and speaking simple truths that well paid journalists in the corporate media dare not utter.

I am a home schooling parent on a low income – paying for the domain, web hosting and security entirely out of my own pocket.  

If you find this website useful and could spare us a few shillings to help keep our lights on, it would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in solidarity with all our readers. John Lynch, Editor.
