#1 The residents posters in this blog are like trained parrots when stories have to do with Russia
This Rantburg is a Russophobic fellowship.
This it’s very interesting, I wonder how the USA government brainwashed so intensely this bunch of ‘’educated‘ persons.
How long that take….
Fascinating……

#2 /\ Think of it as a guild Aco Joe. A guild without portfolio. Fellowships and cults generally require memberships. Thanks for thinking of us. Don't be a stranger.

#3 I think back to the time when I watched Diane Sawyer on ABC Nightly News deliver a report about Border Patrol officer Brian Terry's death at the hands of narco terrorists on the Mexican border. The report was so shallow and lacking in any basic facts that I could only conclude it was a cover up for the actions of Baraq Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder in the Fast and Furious scandal.

That's when it hit me upside the head that American main stream media cannot be trusted. Maybe I was late to the party. A lot of other thinking people already knew it.

That doesn't mean I trust Russian media any more than America's or, for that matter, Ukraine's.

Russian and Ukrainian trolls who post nasty and simplistic comments about Rantburg do not help their cause. Just like Diane Sawyer, they deliver trite and childish propaganda. They're just as bad as ABC, CBS, CNN or, even worse, a White House press briefing.

#4 The search for materials was carried out with the help of keywords that express hatred for Ukrainians: "Bandera", "Little Russians", "pig-speaking", "Ukrofascists", "Khokhlovs", "Dill", "Khokhlostan" and others.

Bandera has to do with the WWII era Ukrainian nationalist Stephan Bandera who sided with the Germans. Bandera loved him some pogroms.

Pig-speaking and Little Russians I never have read those "keywords" in RIA Novosti, Russkaya Vesna (Russian Spring), or Komsomol Prada (KP)

Dill is the plant Russian writers have used to refer to Ukrainians. Pronounced Ukro. The Ukrainians were so offended by the term, one of them came up with a shoulder patch with a depiction of the dill plant. Presumably it was worn with some pride.

They left out the Russian term for forelock which also is called crest. Ukrainians are referred to a firelocks because of the Cossack forelock.

Personally I would think forelock would be a term of endearment.

The upshot is I read those publications, and in regular news articles, not columns and not editorials, I never have read those terms.

#5 Just to clear things up for you Aca. Russia is our enemy. It's ok to see them hurt and squirm.

#6 ^ Correction: Russia is not America's enemy and has not been since 1992. Ukraine is not America's ally. Most Americans don't give a shit about either nation and would prefer that our politicians fix our own country.

#7 No, Russia is an enemy of the US.
Yes, most Americans could give a shit about Ukraine.
Yes, it is good to bleed our enemy.

#8 Believe whatever you like, but just spewing these Democrat talking points doesn't make them true. Russia isn't throwing our southern border open and flooding our country with fentanyl. Russia's not attacking our country with viruses hatched in gain of function labs. Russia isn't pointing missiles pointed at our cities -- at least not until Biden and Austin are so foolish as to encourage their little puppet to fire missiles into Russia.

Wake up, it's not the 1980s any more. Even Hollywood knows better than to beat that dead horse

#9 Oh and you're bleeding the hell out of our own economy, not Russia's. Incredibly stupid. Do you work for Biden?

#10 Russia isn't pointing missiles pointed at our cities
Riiight. That's why Putin threatens to nuc the US. Four strikes with his "Satan 2" last I read.
