Russian ska-punk icon Sergei Shnurov supposedly recorded this ode to Yevgeny Prigozhin. “Blood all over his apron In Africa and Syria He’s here, he’s there Fuck your ceasefire He’s everywhere, like Covid They call him the chef He cooks and dismembers His name’s Prigozhin!”

HERE IS WHAT THE MEDIA WILL NOT TELL YOU.. Ukrainian forces are on the verge of collapse, they are totally demoralized. They’ve all been killed, it’s OVER.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Ukrainian forces aren’t “on the verge of collapse” or “all been killed”. Ukraine still has at least 750,000 military personnel: newsweek.com/ukraine-army-b… statista.com/statistics/129… They’re also actively training thousands of recruits: army.mod.uk/news-and-event… natomultimedia.tv/app/asset/6881… lemonde.fr/en/france/arti… Colonel Macgregor has been making the same claim for over a year: twitter.com/anttiyr/status… twitter.com/thatdayin1992/… newsweek.com/liz-cheney-cri…. twitter.com/P_Kallioniemi/…

War Propaganda Quotes:

The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is being attacked, and every man will be glad of these conscience-soothing falsities

All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.

George Orwell

Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.
