How to Really Defeat Putin and His Lies

 

I guess I needed to make it more clear that those who are good with English or Internet know the truth. Like all visitors to this forum for example.

Younger generations (40 years old and younger) are proficient with these things and know the truth.

It is older generations who never learned English at school during Soviet times and afraid to touch computers just in case are susceptible to the propaganda. These guys have nothing other than propaganda TV.

As times goes younger post-Soviet generations slowly displacing older Soviet ones. That concerns Putin and co. 

Since younger gens do not like him and think he is ruining their future they might get to organize something like Euromaidan in Ukraine and replace Putinist regime with a democratic young people rule.

That happened in Georgia, Ukraine Moldova, Armenia. Almost happened in Belarus in 2020. There were protests in 2012 and 2020 in Russia. 

So Putin is concerned for his fate. After Euromaidan Yanukovich and his crew fled to Russia to avoid going to trial for all the embezzlement he and associates done. Ukraine and the world want them arrested, but Russia is one of few dictator friendly countries out there. 

Putin's case is even grimmer, there is no any other dictator friendly countries further east of Russia that would refuse arrest and extradition request from new Russian government that would replace Putin's regime.

So he and his crew clings to power as if his very life depends on it. 

Because it's kind of does.

In a way this war is way for Putin to push younger people out of Russia, either to die in war or flee to the west. Either way they will not be in Moscow to start a Euromaidan, so it works for Putin.

Just found a video of how Joseph Goebbels depicted WWII to the German Public

In summary: it all chill, women welcome us as liberators and give us flowers, no one dies. Nothing to worry about.

I guess until allies took Berlin, German public did not knew better. Only after the war was over did they realized that it was far from how Goebbels depicted it.

Allies showed them concentration camps and Germans were shocked, they could not believe Hitler and NSDAP would do something like that.

I do not need to actually watch any Russain TV to tell that that Putin, Vladislav Surkov, Constantin Ernst, Dmitry Kiselev and Vladimir Solovyev depict their 'Special Military Operation' in much the same way.

Just so that truth does not accidently reach the public, they shit down all the independent Russian language media there like Echo Moskvy. So not so internet and English language savvy public is in the dark about war.

Paid war trolls know the truth but they are paid by Putin's government so they have vested interest to support Putin regardless.

Someone needs to break out the information blockade and tell the truth.

Putin lies because he needs to be seen by people in Russia as a good guy. He will very likely lose power if his evil nature is exposed. 

That is why he first made people believe in Nazi in Ukraine, then he convinced them that these Nazi commit crimes against humanity in Ukraine. From there on he can present his war as a war for a good cause, to stop these Nazi from committing their crimes against humanity.

From there on, if the West opposes Putin, those who believe in Nazi in Ukraine see the West as collaborators of these Nazi. From there on they can even think all of the West is Nazi sympathisers. That does not dissuade them from supporting Putin. From there on no matter how war actually goes they will not stop supporting him.

Many Western analysts fall for that trap and seem unable to get out of it.

Western powers should do more to address the original foundational lie about Nazi in Ukraine. 

As absurd as it might sound, the West should try to convince people in Russia that there are no any Nazi in Ukraine at all and they do not commit crimes against humanity at all. Once this foundational lie is gone, those built on top of it will collapse as well.
