anyone who calls you a Russian propagandist

This is in fact a propaganda piece. It presents no information, only opinions. It makes only vague accusations, not specific examples of the "lies" which could be discussed or disproven.

Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

it’s mighty convenient how Russia being tied up in Ukraine

This sentence implies that "the western empire" is somehow to blame for Russia not getting to invade and conquer a neighbor quickly and easily, and that that's a bad thing.

If Russia finds "being tied up in Ukraine" inconvenient, I can think of one way they could resolve that... go the fuck home.

Yes, ask questions, be skeptical, don't take the official story at face value... but don't accept answers to those questions from Putin sympathizers.
