You should read Russian news. Every single day, military propaganda in the headlines. Every single day, anti-EU, anti-NATO, anti-US propaganda in the headlines.

Seriously, google a Russian news source. On their page, you'll see tanks and soldiers and fighter jets. And you'll see stories about how the west is evil and how the west is collapsing and hints that Russia needs a military buildup. And you might see a hint that eastern Europe is really Russian property "stolen" from Russia by NATO and that the anti-Russian sentiment is just the locals being "ungrateful" to Russia.

Now look at Google News. How much military do you see? How many stories about Russia? How many supporting military buildup? We care more about the Kardashians than we do about Putin.

This largely one-sided cold war has been going on for more than a decade.

Maybe you've not read the western news, do you? Every piece of it filled with fear of Russian, people get thrown shit without any proofs of aggression or anything else. Just to put more NATO (read: US) bases in the world close to Russian borders.

If you think that this is "good", and Russia response is "bad", then you deserve everything what will happen because of that US politics.

Did you willfully ignore what the person you're responding to said? Russian news is largely constructing an alternate reality where facts don't matter, and it appears it's even working on those outside the country to some extent if your comment is any indication. Go visit some Russian news sources and look around.

Here's an example of what's been going on:

>Take Novorossiya, the name Vladimir Putin has given to the huge wedge of southeastern Ukraine he might, or might not, consider annexing. The term is plucked from tsarist history, when it represented a different geographical space. Nobody who lives in that part of the world today ever thought of themselves as living in Novorossiya and bearing allegiance to it—at least until several months ago. Now, Novorossiya is being imagined into being: Russian media are showing maps of its ‘geography,’ while Kremlin-backed politicians are writing its ‘history’ into school textbooks. There’s a flag and even a news agency (in English and Russian). There are several Twitter feeds. It’s like something out of a Borges story—except for the very real casualties of the war conducted in its name.

Ukraine is now US project, so don't even start the "annexing" shit. Because this is what did the US there.

Ukraine is sovereign unitary nation. Only brainwashed with russian propaganda can say that some country or nation is no more then someones project and putting war on it means nothing.

It's about people and there will to be protected against crazy militant russians with stalin and putin in their minds.
