geert

i am finding it very difficult to understand the urgency to counter 
russian state propaganda

here in the uk, its impossible to show neutrality or any support for 
operation z - you will be emotionally or violently attacked

this is the result of a NATO mass propaganda campaign targetted at the 
domestic population

here the news is constantly that putin is insane, likes killing kids and 
ukraine is winning the war

i am sure the situation is the same in .nl

so why focuss on .ru propaganda ? it is having almost zero effect on the 
western populations


how does your project differ from western state propaganda units 
spreading anti-russian dis-information to the general public ?


regards

heath
