Someone has to counter the greatest propaganda machine in the world built and operated by the US to manage its global empire and many decades of bloodletting, massacres, tortures, slavery, environmental devastation, genocides, and its astronomical body count.
And yes, that same propaganda machine is the one that taught you everything you know about Zelensky and Ukraine, as they've been propagandizing the entire world about Ukraine since it was a part of the USSR. You are literally sitting in a century-long stream of American disinformation on the region. Which is why you think American newspapers crowing about "Russian disinformation" is worthy of anything other than ridicule and derision.
Russia is committing genocide and you think it's great?
I think the bloodletting is horrendous, and I think the US bears the overwhelming majority of the blame for it. In 2022 the US provided more lethal aid than Russia's entire annual military budget. In literally every conflict where the US sends weapons, the death toll skyrockets. Without lethal aid from the North Atlantic, this SMO would have been over very quickly and the bloodshed would have been far less.
The US is to blame for an invasion of a sovereign nation by Russia?
Why would Russia or anyone else care if someone joins NATO? Doesn't it only start to matter if you ambition to invade a NATO country? You make it sound like Russia's problem is that US makes it harder for them to invade foreign countries. Given Russia's history, that seems absolutely reasonable.
