I bet it didn’t talk much about his politics

LMAO

You know what type of people in the Duma lol? He's a lil boy compared to them. It's that bad. And then i'm talking bout their views and actual actions. I wonder if the Russian people are still invested in politics, knowing they're led by a bunch of criminals

On Navalny himself: It's sad to say, but a lot reformers end up corrupted anyway. If he ever came to power in the past, I could've seen him become a 2nd Putin with his ultranationalist views. The difference is he mightve been a bit less corrupted AT FIRST lol. It would make no difference for the Russians tbh

Damn Putin's palace is more lit than Sultan of Brunei's Sinbad s***

Navalny has like a 5% approval rating

Putin approval rating mad high btw. Does that mean the Russian people are all warmongers?

Indoctrination goes deep, Bush approval rating shot up too with Iraq and Afghanistan, I wouldn't call them all warmongers in either case, just misinformed

What's the statue of limitation on war crimes?

This, plus putin knows how to funnel and filter information he has mad experience in east germany

Mass graves in Mariupol

What’s wrong with Al Jazeera they’re one of the only decent mainstream outlets

I know. But his approval rating was also high before this war that they don't call a war in Russia. And Russia been active in a lot of conflicts these last years. At the same time, it's also difficult to use any approval ratings in a dictatorship tho

In a crisis I won't change my stance on the sitting government so this is seen from a very self centered perspective tho. And it's not that a lot of Russians aint informed at all. To me it seems they either are very positive bout Putin or they fear saying they're not for obv reasons

It isn't even hard to believe that Russians would support this "special military operation" even before the invasion.

Putin has sold this war on de-nazification and demilitarization of a country that has oppressed an entire ethnically Russian population where over 14,000 people have been killed and 1.5 million forced to flee their homes in the last 8 years.

The media in Russia has been reporting on what's happening in Ukraine for ages. And probably even over exaggerating the type of threat Ukraine is to Russia's existence. Most Russians probably view the invasion as a liberation mission of its brothers and sisters and a just cause. And you can thank Putin's higher approval ratings after the invasion to the sanctions and isolation put on Russia from the West. It doesn't seem to be causing internal conflict, but more solidarity as a country.

What’s wrong with Al Jazeera

Al-Jazeera does have biases tbh but it's still a lot better than western corporate media, which says more about the west tbh

Oh absolutely

This. I watch them every morning and if you’re just aware of certain biases you’re getting a much more enriching and informative experience than watching CNN or some bullshit

Corporate media good state media bad (except our state medi- I mean government funded news programs)

You just positive bout state run media cause that's basically the only thing that exists in China

Why do you place more faith in corporate media than media that receives state funding

Lmao what? Why would that be the reason, I don't even read Chinese media like that

I'm not saying i put more faith in them, i'm just not very keen on state run media. Especially if that's the only source available for people

Like in China, where there is no freedom of press and mad censorship
