It’s ruled by a spin dictator who lies the country is a democracy whilst killing his real opponents and posing clowns as his real ones.

Russia needs to defend itself against NATO is not spin. That some corrupt remaining Yeltsin cronies sometimes say Russia should not, is not "useful democracy". Navaltny caught on video soliciting funds from MI6 to diminish Russia is not useful democracy.

That west needs to have war on Russia, Iran, Syria, China is more spin than opposing war.

Russia needs to defend itself against NATO is not spin.

Genuine question: why? Is NATO attacking Russia?

Of course they are, and Russia does and should know that they are. The genuine question is a symptom of all powerful disinformation propaganda "spin".

Thank you for sharing what seems like a genuine reply.

Of course they are

Could I please ask for a bit more info here? The way this is phrased, it sounds like it is obvious and goes without saying, but I haven’t heard of any NATO attacks on Russia. Is there something you would be willing to reference beyond “common knowledge”?

First, NATO is a US controlled organization, and big moves are US imperialism rather than NATO as an organization. NATO members are even more oppressed than NATO enemies.

The origins of Ukraine war provocation on Russia are in the US led coup of 2014, and subsequent pupettry of Ukraine. The US and NATO vassals have fully admitted to building up Ukraine for war in 2014, and in considering it an essential strategic objective to perpetuate the war.

US/NATO aggression towards Russia was more about colonizing former eastern block countries whose hatred and resentment could be harvested, but still clearly a buildup to current situation.

It is obvious that US/NATO has demonic hatred and diminishment ambitions against Russia. The links between wishes and military actions against Russia is also obviously direct.

Perhaps a technicality, but the US is directly bombing Russia through the recent ATACMs strikes. These require US soldiers and US GPS infrastructure to operate.

Yeah, and that's why "you need Putin," "Putin is our only leader," "no Putin, no Russia."

Doesn't that seem convenient? But that's only a part of it.
