Russian invasion !

My understanding that most Russians do not have any outlet outside the country due to news propaganda not wanting or allowing outside information get into the country. Looks like there are still many Russian players here meaning they may have an outlet to outside news. I was wondering what is the truth on what is happening and thoughts in Russia?

It's a lie. Everything is the opposite - this is for you, in the West,
access to alternative sources of information is difficult. And we have YouTube and Western newspapers (in electronic form) available. www.washingtonpost.com/

Openly going against the official government newscasts is punishable by law now in Putin's Russia.

Even using the word invasion instead of " special military operation " is not allowed.

Might be applied to all social media including this site.

@ujcn You keep telling people that the West can't access Russian news sources. That is incorrect.
I can access any news site or social media site I want with nothing more than a basic browser.

@clousems #3 You are twisting my words: I didn't say that access is impossible for you, I said that access is difficult.

It's not even that inconvenient. Just type the name of a Russian publication into your search engine and click on the link.

@Mopman #3 Your newspaper reported it, and it lies.

@clousems #5 Please give a link to the RT channel in English.

*conspiracy music when you realize that there are 2 #3 comments*

@ujcn said in #6:
> @Mopman #3 Your newspaper reported it, and it lies.

Then every major news agency in the entire world outside Russia is part of this vast conspiracy against Putin ?

You believe that 260 plus countries AND all their news agencies are conspiring together against the possibility of Putin acting horribly ?

Occam's razor !
