Maybe actually read textbooks then. Hint: They’re the ones without pictures.

Just randomly. Ignore anything from 2014 to 2022. Putin woke up one day and decided invading Ukraine would be rad. Events always happen disconnected from each other, don’t you know? While you’re at it, also ignore anything from 1990 to 2014. Nothing to see here, move on.
When its past bad thing you were totally against it, when its current bad thing your support it. Liberals like you truely oppose every war of their empire but the current one.
One much larger and using draft to fill the ranks of attackers.
So not Russia then. Because it only mobilized some of its reservists and did not send in conscripts.
Hurt feelings don’t count.
It might suprise you, but entertainment products are always propagandistic. A good example is the entire CoD series which glorifies western militaries and demonizes its enemies, going so far as to pin western warcrimes on other countries. Hint: Not Russia invaded Iraq, it was the USA. So the mowing down of a entire high speed road full of people, known as the “highway of death”, was done by the USA.
Or the wonderfull Hearts of Irons 4, which depicts Stalins supposed paranoia as game mechanic, but conveniently “left out” the Holocaust and the genocidal aspect of the entire operation Barbarossa. Guess it’s easier to play Germany when the game does not tell you what your victory means for tens of millions. Hint: These millions get exterminated to make space for german settlers.
Or the always cherished Hollywood with all its movies somehow making the US the good guy, might be related to all the US army toys they get to show in their movies. Which is the case, they get to use the toys, but have to make government approved stories.
“Propaganda” ultimately is a synomym for “advertisement”, the preferability or desireability of a product, narative or ideology is advertised to the recipient. Regarding entertainment products, obviously the views, ideas and ideology of the creators are advertised to the consumer. It is propagandized, so to say. These things might be beign, neutral or heinous. But propaganda in any case.
So per definition everything is propaganda. Welcome to reality, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Less data siphoned off to the USA. Less markets for a US company. One avenue less for western propaganda.
Fair, but can you provide evidence for supression of Uyghur culture? For displacement of Uyghur populations? The ones making the claim have to provide the evidence. That is how the burden of proof works. We do not have to prove that China isn’t doing anything, the ones accusing China of genocide have to provide evidence. The accusing parties have failed to do so for years.
The former won’t happen. Sweden is sorrounded by friendly countries. The second is a downside for Sweden.
So globally it is a nothing burger and locally it is a negative development for Sweden.
Yeah, during the 30 years war. After Gustavus Adolphus went the way of the Dodo, Sweden sucked.
It was a de facto member as long as NATO existed. Now it also is a de jure member too, a big nothing-burger.
I’d not repeat the Pooh meme if I’d were you. It implies Obama being a N-word. But libs and racism go hand in hand, so there you go.
Imagine believing this. If you have no idea what you’re talking about, don’t.
