My thoughts exactly. If anything Hakim is either purposely trying to pander to western viewers or genuinely doesn’t know any better. I know people want to believe it’s the former but i think the latter is more likely. I have seen no indication that any of the Deprogram trio have done serious investigation into what has been happening in Ukraine since 1991 beyond a shallow surface level overview. Time and again we’ve seen well meaning leftists fall for some of the elements of the western pro-Ukrainian propaganda narrative when they do not do their due diligence to educate themselves thoroughly on a subject before they speak on it.
