    When the war began, Google ads were playing propaganda non stop. Want to play a mobile game? Here’s zelensky demanding you “stop the war”. Want to read a book online? Here’s a slideshow of bombed out buildings and a tearful voiceover asking “is this what you wanted”. People even got robo calls, just out of the blue.

    This? This is just normal Reddit. CIA central.

      “is this what you wanted”.

      Yeah, kind of, if it’s Ukrainian military facilities. Demilitarization and denazification go brrrr.

        That’s the thing. That’s not what propaganda was showing, neither in the west nor in these psy-op “ads”. It was civilian buildings - apartment blocks, kindergartens, hospitals.

      “is this what you wanted’’

      Yes exactly, after everything Donbas had to go through for 8 years.
