Replace Poland with Nato, and west Ukraine with all of Ukraine. And it is accurate and much worse.
I think neither side is realizing the full clusterfuck that is Ukraine

Did you read the thread? The Twitter user found that RIA's source is a blogger who sourced their info directly from the ruzzian foreign ministry.

The point is about how false information cycles from the government, to sympathetic bloggers, then into higher-brow media outfits.

And here we have you repeating another falsehood from the ruzzian government, that somehow Ukraine's attempt to escape from the prison of nations, is actually a theft perpetrated by NATO against poor victims of the ruzzia who naturally deserve ownership of Ukraine.

You, a sympathetic internet user, are repeating a ruzzian ministry lie, exactly like the blogger in the OP.

I think the propaganda on both sides are completely stupid.

But I know that the left uses fake accounts to spread fake articles and fake (or out of context) videos to pretend that the opposition is evil.
And those articles are spread like real news. It also extended to the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

So if you not seen through the orange-man bad propaganda the last 6 years, you may still think that news is truthful. Most on saidit are far past that idea.

it's not "the left", it's the entire government

Trump is controlled opposition. Orange-man bad propaganda is done on purpose. The astroturfs also promote pro-Trump conspiracies in conservative mediums.
