Unmasking propaganda

September 1, 2025

Thank you, Jeffrey Sachs. “Russians invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was thoroughly provoked by the West.” I have long held this view. The Western media’s propaganda was never enough for me to swallow “Russia as the enemy”. Russia lost 27 million people during World War II. The Allies wouldn’t have defeated Hitler without Russia’s staggering sacrifice.

As Sachs makes clear, every war Russia has been involved in the past two centuries has been defensive. The Western narrative does not acknowledge these facts. Just as Western leaders and media have skewed their propaganda in defence of Israel’s horrific crimes, so has the same propaganda been directed against Russia. Thank you Jeffrey for sticking your head above the parapet. With the unmasking of Israel, may the unmasking of the US and NATO follow.
