US state media doing PR for neo-Nazis

PBS NewsHour full episode, March 3, 2022

@ 5:00 they're interviewing Artem Semenikhin, hailing him as some resistance hero

 

 

behind Artem is a portrait of Stepan Bandera - former SS officer & ethnic cleansing extraordinaire (Poles & Jews in Ukraine & Belarus)

 

some background on Artem

& his political party

the parallels with the Syria proxy war are numerous - in propaganda terms we were told to fall in love with "moderate rebels", even though they were largely al Qaeda type jihadis & worse... same playbook as Kosovo & loads of other western dirty wars. The western propaganda push on this one is the most thorough so far though IMO. People are being banned from FB for exposing Ukrainian neo-Nazis while FB has lifted their ban on promoting fascist Ukrainian militant groups like Azov.

 

the battlefield itself is very similar to Syria too although the way they've dug in using civilians as cover is a little different. Daesh etc were better at tunnelling - a good counter to air power.

a bit more about the portrait behind him..

 

little bit more about what jews had to say about Artem's appointment as mayor

 

 

why is PBS promoting a neo-Nazi / fascist Hitler lover who calls Russians "cockroaches"?

 

at the same time as RT has been banned in much of the west & teachers are being fired for even presenting a view of the conflict that dares to give Russia's side of the story in US...... hmmm......

 

surely this is all just Russian propaganda

"why is PBS promoting a neo-Nazi / fascist Hitler lover who calls Russians "cockroaches"?"

 

Because he is putting up a fight with the people who invaded?

Because generally, invading another country and bombing civilian targets like hospitals is frowned upon?
