I’ve got to share this Twitter post. It came up in one of the larger daily collection of posts that I saw the other day (Thursday, I think), and it’s just utterly ridiculous. It’s also a little example of the sort of propaganda the Russians are creating to feed to their home audience. One of their ongoing talking points is that the Russian army in Ukraine is not only fighting Ukrainians, but NATO troops as well. Not true of course, but they need to do something to help them sleep at night.

What makes this hilarious and ridiculous are the accents. Very, very Russian, or at least some flavor of Slavic. Most people in Russia wouldn’t know a real American accent (I’m sure I have one when I speak what little Russian I can), which is why I’m pretty sure this was for “domestic consumption,” not some “a-HA!” proof Russia would try to present at the UN.

Plenty of vulgarity in this, so be warned.
