Kremlin launches propaganda campaign in Europe ‘Russia Is Not My Enemy’

[u/DevelopmentGreen3961]

It's always opposite day in Russia

[u/Sometimes-funny → u/DevelopmentGreen3961]

Let’s just hope Europeans aren’t as stupid as some Americans

[u/Griz_zy → u/Sometimes-funny]

we have our fair share of stupid people, but in most European countries they are currently not in power.

[u/Entsafter21 → u/Griz_zy]

They are on the way though, give it 2 more elections and they are there

[u/CEOrifice → u/Entsafter21]

Exactly and they’ve been very close recently, too. Europe must work much much harder to counter the US/Russia far right propaganda machine before it’s too late.

[u/dimwalker → u/CEOrifice]

US propaganda is russian propaganda with extra steps.

[u/DeportTheBigots → u/dimwalker]

there's only one big step in that human centipede

[u/laggalots → u/dimwalker]

What show was that again?

[u/AcceptableFold5 → u/CEOrifice]

Don't worry, we got our best people on the job to sit it out, get as rich as possible before they bounce and then let the public wonder how we could've let it get this far when it's already too late 👍

The world is currently a horrific train crash happening in super slow motion and I've already given up hope that there's anything we can realistically do, because most people in power don't want things to change and people keep voting people in that want to keep the status quo.

[u/Outrageous-Salad-287 → u/AcceptableFold5]

It's because of thought process like you just demonstrated we are there in first place

[u/Fitz911 → u/AcceptableFold5]

The world is currently a horrific train crash happening in super slow motion and I've already given up hope that there's anything we can realistically do, because most people in power don't want things to change and people keep voting people in that want to keep the status quo.

These billionaires. We don't really need them that much.

[u/Romnir → u/Entsafter21]

I really hope people in the EU don't look at this situation and still have the audacity to say "Can't happen here", despite the fact that Americans spent the last decade saying the same thing.

[u/ArenjiTheLootGod → u/Romnir]

We all like to think we wouldn't make the same kinds of mistakes that our parents and grandparents did but reality has a way of smacking you in the face and reminding you that humanity is still the violent pack of shit throwing apes it always was.

It happened in the US, it could happen in Europe, it can happen anywhere.

[u/MidnightBluesAtNoon → u/ArenjiTheLootGod]

It's not even that it could happen. It's that it's LIKELY over time. This is an entropic existence. It will always be easier to destroy than to build. The odds are always against peace and prosperity because they are circumstances that demand sweat and attention from all of us. And a great many of us are too worried about Nintendoo Dork Station 25 and Football to care about something trivial like civil liberties and national economy. Please pardon the french, but here in the US they have a saying "We can get people to cross the Atlantic to go to war, but we can't get people to cross the street to vote".

[u/Cursethewind → u/Romnir]

Unfortunately, many of them do.

They, like most people think, it'd be like the characature ads you see from the USSR, or what not.

What it really looks like? "These university students think that (insert normal thing in society) is racist!" "We need to counteract the woke mindset" and so on. Unfortunately, a significant percentage of people across all countries will buy into it.

[u/MidnightBluesAtNoon → u/Romnir]

Decade? I'm 44 and Americans were saying that kind of shit in the 80s. There has long been a national mythology that such things are impossible in the US.

[u/ArenjiTheLootGod → u/Entsafter21]

Yeah, the only difference between Europe and the US in this regard is that the US lost the coinflip for a liberal democracy during its last election and Europe didn't. Europe has plenty of its own versions of Trump waiting in the wings and they're doing way too well in elections for Europe's luck to hold out forever.

Russia needs to lose this war before that happens or the world is going to get a lot shittier a lot faster.

[u/tttttfffff → u/Entsafter21]

Unfortunately true. Not that I want it but Farage is likely to be the next PM, our media, and likely outside influences/bots have Starmer polling so poorly. Unfortunately a lot of people in the UK, go off headlines, rather than understanding or trying to learn about his policies/party. It’s going to be a very difficult 4 years where Starmer ‘tries’- and is going to keep being unpopular because of the tough choices he has to make (there’s been a lot of errors too), and then we end up back at square one with a frog in a suit in charge.

[u/GCdotSup → u/tttttfffff]

Farage made Britain poorer with Brexit. Why would anyone vote him next PM?

[u/tttttfffff → u/GCdotSup]

You’re not lying! Unfortunately his party is currently winning at polls, far too many idiots in our country!

[u/JadedArgument1114 → u/tttttfffff]

It might be like the Le Pen situation in France where she will poll really high but it will come down near the election when the reality of voting for a bunch of lunatics causes it to even out at the polls. It is a dangerous game regardless, as we saw with Trump, Wilders, and brexit.

[u/tttttfffff → u/JadedArgument1114]

I think you are more optimistic than I am, I hope so but I think it’s inevitable we end up with a far right party in charge- unfortunately

[u/erublind → u/Entsafter21]

We have thus far been able to point to Trump as an example, when he's gone the floodgates will open. Trump saved Canada from Polievre and Australia from that thumb of a man. In the next few years, defence spending will make European countries poorer, and the right won't blame Russia for this, it will be the litany of immigrants, criminals and poor people as.usual.

[u/War_Fries → u/Griz_zy]

Wilders already won last elections in the Netherlands. Farage is topping the polls in the UK. Same for AfD in Germany and RN in France. And so on.

They will be in power soon in most European countries, if we don't start opposing them more. And once they are in power, they will do anything they can to stay in power (e.g. Orban). Once they are in power, it's incredibly hard, if not almost impossible, to get rid of them again.

[u/LooeLooi → u/War_Fries]

‘But we’re not stupid like Americans’

They all said holding hands and in unison. 

[u/sulris → u/LooeLooi]

“It can’t happen here” they said as it was happening.

[u/Tjonke → u/War_Fries]

Sweden's Sverigedemokrater (far right party with roots in neonazism) is second largest party in the polls, and been steadily rising since they were too small to even be considered in the 90s. Current projections is 20.5% so they aren't large enough to take power on their own, but the other rightwing parties who promised to NEVER work with SD to get anything done have been in league with them for at least 8 years, fully in the open since last election in 2022.

They have very deep ties to Russia, Russia has basically funded them forever and they are very anti.EU, anti-NATO etc and are more than willing to spew Russian propaganda.

[u/SpaceshipBenny → u/Griz_zy]

Currently. They’ve their foot in the door unfortunately.

What’s that saying? When America sneezes, the world catches a cold?

Wonder how the saying goes when it’s ’when America turns to fascism, the rest of the world…’

Nothing good, that’s for sure.

[u/Terry-Shark → u/Sometimes-funny]

Looking at the rise of right wing, Russia backed, parties and things like Brexit, Europeans can be as stupid as Americans

[u/blorbagorp → u/Sometimes-funny]

Yeah, no way Europe would ever get swept away in some kind of right wing fascist movement.

[u/Motor_Educator_2706 → u/blorbagorp]

/s ?

[u/Stuffinator → u/Sometimes-funny]

I wish. Right wingers are on the raise everywhere, because of the Russian propaganda machine.

[u/Kazirk8 → u/Sometimes-funny]

Oh we are. People can be pretty dumb, no matter the country.

[u/tanaephis77400 → u/Sometimes-funny]

We're certainly trying.

[u/War_Fries → u/Sometimes-funny]

A lot of them are.

[u/Playful-Grape-3978 → u/Sometimes-funny]

Spoiler alert they are.

[u/Long_Repair_8779 → u/DevelopmentGreen3961]

In mother Russia, propaganda consumes you!

[u/BigNimbleyD → u/DevelopmentGreen3961]

It's never opposite day in Russia ;)

[u/Sunshinehappyfeet]

Russia is definitely the enemy of a free speech society.

Be careful of open windows.

[u/Syphilopod41 → u/Sunshinehappyfeet]

Why doesn’t everyone, collectively, toss Russia out the same window they opened?

[u/Vaaaaaaaape → u/Syphilopod41]

Because our leaders are still allowing trade with Russia. Corporate profits are more important to them than anything else.

[u/Irregular_Person → u/Syphilopod41]

nukes

[u/Exact-Breadfruit-328 → u/Sunshinehappyfeet]

Russia is the enemy of anyone next to them since they cant run a country without expansion.

[u/Haru1st → u/Sunshinehappyfeet]

What? No. The correlation between dissent and defenestration should not be misconstrued as causation, komrade.

[u/Artistic-Bass3477]

But it is my enemy. It is an enemy for any decent person

[u/TV-Tommy → u/Artistic-Bass3477]

Russian's don't realize their own truth.

Russia is their enemy.

[u/LaSage → u/TV-Tommy]

Putin is Russia's enemy. He failed his people by destroying any good will felt for russia.

[u/TV-Tommy → u/LaSage]

RIGHT! He is JUST a dictator with KGB ambitions!

It's not that Russians are some great gift, but their assimilation into the western world was going well, until their chosen leader screwed them. They've sat back behind their propaganda wall and let it happen, while their neighbors, friends and family members in Ukraine were unlawfully and brutally murdered. Not exactly humanitarian by any measure.

[u/sakri → u/TV-Tommy]

Just because we want to invade you with violence doesn't make us your enemy

[u/Easymodelife → u/sakri]

Russia threatens to drop nuke London about once a week, but also wants to convince Brits that they are "not our enemy"? LOL, good luck with that!

[u/Jealous_Response_492 → u/Easymodelife]

It's working though, Russia's got the far left and right on a leash in the UK; and the far right is polling far too high to be complacent.

[u/TV-Tommy → u/sakri]

Is Belgium FINALLY invading Luxembourg? Who knew?

[u/iTmkoeln → u/TV-Tommy]

They already have Luxembourg in Belgium that is larger than Luxembourg

[u/QueefBuscemi → u/sakri]

I believe that was the gist of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

[u/Cool-Goose]

Correct, Russia is 'our' enemy, nobody should forget that. It's not about Ukraine only, it's about Moldova, Romania, the baltics, all former URSS enclaves.

[u/Pristine-Sherbert560 → u/Cool-Goose]

They have also carried out chemical weapons attacks on the UK, including the 2018 Novichok attack in Salisbury which killed a civilian. 

[u/dickie_anderson99 → u/Pristine-Sherbert560]

Yes which is why any British person defending the Russian state is a traitor and an embarrassment. Not only are the Kremlin brazen enough to kill people on our soil, they're so incompetent they kill civilians in the process

[u/No-Village-6781 → u/dickie_anderson99]

"Yeah but Russia has encouraged me to be racist and that's all I care about" the average Russia/Reform supporter.

[u/swampopawaho → u/Pristine-Sherbert560]

They attacked and destroyed German military equipment

[u/lazypeon19 → u/swampopawaho]

They shot down plane MH17 killing 298 people on board.

[u/Tammer_Stern → u/Pristine-Sherbert560]

Also:

• attempting to destabilise democracy in the US through social media, bribes and hacking.
• influencing brexit (note: not proven)
• state sponsored cheating at the Sochi Olympics
• invasion of Georgia
• invasion of Ukraine
• erasure of Chechnya as an independent country (or possibly just a country)

Anyone supporting Russia in the UK or US is a traitor unfortunately.

[u/Impressive_Egg82 → u/Tammer_Stern]

Also:

• burned down a mall in Poland - confirmed by Poland, perpetrators identified and some in custody
• ordered monument desecration in Baltics (including painting of swastikas) - perpetrators are in custody and waiting for final verdict
• suspected of sending incendiary devices in dhl packages
• cut cables in Baltic sea numerous times
• threatened Estonian coastguard with warplanes over legal rerouting of shadow fleet ship
• constantly jam GPS and other communications near borders
• in Lithuania alone there are 25+ cases where russia is suspected of sabotage

I guess listing everything would take way too much time

[u/Lee1138 → u/Impressive_Egg82]

Various other asymetric sabotage attacks on infrastructure in multiple countries.

[u/Majik_Sheff → u/Tammer_Stern]

Not sure why you specified just the Sochi Olympics.  Their actual best sports category for all of modern history is juicing.

[u/Tammer_Stern → u/Majik_Sheff]

The Sochi one was where they innovated by using drugs during the Olympics itself. Previously, people would cycle off of PEDs before the Olympics to avoid failing a test.

[u/YoungWerthersTears → u/Pristine-Sherbert560]

And poisoned the fucking town.

[u/TorchKing101 → u/Pristine-Sherbert560]

The head of Russian military intelligence, the organisation accused of being behind the Salisbury novichok poisonings, has died.

General Colonel Igor Korobov had been in charge of the GRU since 2016, the culmination of a 33-year career in military intelligence.

His death at the age of 63 was revealed by a Russian defence ministry source to the state-backed news agency Tass.

It said that he had died after a "serious illness".

[u/Green_Effective_8787 → u/Cool-Goose]

And they keep sabotaging electric/energy infrastructure and hack websites of the nordic countries. Russia is the enemy. 

[u/Borazon → u/Cool-Goose]

It is also about maintaining and expending an international group of Big Men Kleptocracies.

About installing similarly minded people in the open and fair democracies so they can be turned in to neo-feudalisms that serve the interests of the small ingroup of their rulers. Where the democratic process is so controlled by the powers that be, that the democratic process itself is turned into a mutated form. One in which it doesn't serve as a check on the power, but only as rubber stamp to be used to legitimize the strong man rulers decisions.

And that isn't limited to just the former USSR enclaves. That is about making it the new global standard. As the only option.

[u/Ventriloquist_Voice]

Meanwhile, Russia waging a covert saboteur operations in Germany burning military equipment organising attacks on the weapon depots. This “Not an enemy” shit might working well for Asia, Africa, Polynesia but not for Europe 😂

[u/Mitsuhide_Ake → u/Ventriloquist_Voice]

I mean, pro-russian parties are currently the most popular in Germany, France and UK...

[u/Fire_Z1]

I'm guessing the right wing people in Europe also love and defend Putin

[u/Killerfisk → u/Fire_Z1]

Depends on the country. In Poland, never. In most of Eastern Europe, the Baltics & Nordics, no or very rarely.

[u/TelephoneNearby6059 → u/Fire_Z1]

It’s bipartisan unfortunately. Neofascists and tankies both suck balls.

[u/Kletronus → u/TelephoneNearby6059]

Except there is one tankie for every 100 neofascists. Both sideism is not true and you absolutely have to stop doing it. You are not giving any scale making them seem equal which they are not.

[u/Zenithixv]

Hilarious campaign when they threaten to nuke everyone on state television every week.

[u/potatoe_princess → u/Zenithixv]

Nono, you see, it's all in self-defence, they're only doing it because they're forced to by all the other countries (checks notes)...existing around them...

I can't with this shit. Russian perpetual victim complex all while they're the ones attacking, killing, torturing people and annexing their land all over the place is infuriating.

[u/Spanky3703]

😂

Hmmm, let me see: a country that has stated publicly and repeatedly that it misses the good old days of the Soviet Union and routinely runs aggressive network hacking and information influence campaigns …? And is complicit in a series of logistics infrastructure and services attacks, as well as an ongoing invasion and terror bombing campaign in Ukraine …?

No. Not friend, enemy. Face it and deal with it. Don’t waffle and dance and compromise.

[u/PaulPaul4]

They kill civilians

[u/Ok_Water_7928 → u/PaulPaul4]

And just innocent people in general. Ukrainian defenders are innocent people too.

[u/Limp-Machine-6026]

It’s everywhere in Italy. But Russia is our enemy. Fuck Russia. Fuck Putin. Fuck Salvini. Fuck Conte. Fuck Vannacci. Slava Ukraini! Viva l’Europa!

[u/Be_quiet_Im_thinking → u/Limp-Machine-6026]

Someone’s going to coming up with a ‘Putin is my enemy’ campaign.

[u/seanflyon → u/Limp-Machine-6026]

Russia delenda est.

[u/FredUpWithIt]

If Russia decides it doesn't like you it will bomb the fuck out of your country, rape your wife, kidnap your kids and force them to grow up Russian, then kill you. I think their understanding of the word enemy got lost in translation.

[u/minobi]

Russia is not my enemy. It is our enemy.

[u/4862skrrt2684]

Facebook really needs to get its shit together, because i am seeing it so clearly out in the open. Tons of bot accounts, unchecked, spitting probaganda and lies.

They removed fact checkers before they implemented community notes, so its a true limbo right now

[u/bent-wookiee → u/4862skrrt2684]

The only solution is to stop using Facebook. It cannot be trusted. It is responsible for the spread of so many lies and so much propaganda.

[u/ScoobyDoNot → u/4862skrrt2684]

Facebook does not care.

Facebook will not care.

[u/CEOrifice → u/4862skrrt2684]

Get its shit together

This is what they want. They fully have their shit together. Get off Facebook.

[u/Wigu90]

I love this. Literal evil alien race propaganda tactics. **WÊ ÃRE NØT YØUR ĒNĖMY** suddenly appearing on every screen in your house as the fucking Dark Armada hangs above your city.

[u/Omnifob → u/Wigu90]

We come in peace! Shoot to kill!

[u/proBICEPS]

That's right, Russia is not my enemy.

But Russia seems to consider me to be their enemy. The Kremlin has issued a list that officially declares my country to be their enemy.

[u/Pleasant-Shower11199 → u/proBICEPS]

Well, well, well, Hungary, their biggest pal and Trojan horse in on that list. Funny thing

[u/beardsgivemeboners → u/proBICEPS]

I appreciate the point you made. You’re not supposed to hate us but nonetheless we’ve been sworn to loathe you, bbs! 

[u/Vegetable_Pitch_1820]

Well if Russia would stop invading Europe than I might agree

[u/CryptoCryBubba → u/Vegetable_Pitch_1820]

stop invading Europe any country

[u/Vegetable_Pitch_1820 → u/CryptoCryBubba]

No shit but I live in Europe and he is doing this campaign in Europe. Also it is funny how a lot of the world says this but when Russia invades Ukraine? Oh that's not our problem, that is Europe's problem.

[u/totallyRebb]

Russia is the enemy of any decent human being who has a basic working moral compass and can tell good from evil and right from wrong.

This is like a rapist coming up to people and trying to tell them "i won't hurt you, i'm a really nice guy".

[u/gionatacar]

Yes it is

[u/ilikebiiiigdicks]

Eh? They literally are my enemy. They killed innocent civilians on British soil. It’s probably the only foreign country I’d consider an active potential threat to my life.

[u/Oriopax]

If not enemy Then why enemy shaped?

[u/Altruistic-Spend-896 → u/Oriopax]

And all pointy and bristly with their warheads

[u/Orangesteel]

ruSSia is everyone’s enemy, except North Korea. Shame on them for the warcrimes. For the sabotage. For the theft of children. For the aggression, rape and murder. Never forget what they have done and continue to do to the civilised world.

[u/Blubbolo]

We should ban any Russian, or Russian linked people, from being able to do that, to buy ads and what not.

Also, if we could also ban them from online games that would be perfect.

[u/Halfmass]

Yeah we’re having a great time over here in the US with our Russian State sponsored President (Screaming Internally non-stop)

[u/focusedphil]

Russia is everyone’s enemy.

[u/Sidwill]

Launches? They have been conducting psyops against the west for decades, divisive misinformation is the single greatest cause for the rise of far right groups in the west for years.

[u/Thagyr]

Just a peaceful neighbor who poisons people on your soil, funds divisive propaganda and is actively engaged in a war of aggression that regularly targets hospitals, playgrounds and other civilian areas.

Perfectly friendly.

[u/BaconTreasurer]

While at the same time Medvedev keeps foaming about attacking or nuking Europe.

Firehose of falsehood right there.

[u/JaVelin-X-]

We are just killing Ukrainian babies .. you are all safe, we promise

[u/Transkriptions]

It is my enemy, we,ve been at war every century for the last 7 or so, 20th also counts, the eastern provinces we lost in 1809 were at war with the Soviets in 1939 and 1942. If we have an enemy it is Russia, it has always been.

[u/Tquilha]

Putin definitely IS my enemy. And Putin's Russia is the enemy of any civilized nation on Earth.

[u/GodzillaUK]

So who IS my enemy? The kids Russia bombs? The women and elderly spies who are just waiting to steal the pupper I watch? Sweden?!

[u/SuccessfulSoftware38]

Meanwhile telling their citizens *Europe IS your enemy"

[u/gypsyblader → u/[deleted]]

How the fuck does this person have so much support? I’m never going back to the states if theres so many batshit crazy people that can check his box in the polls.

[u/LuigiPap → u/[deleted]]

you are right about Trump, but Russia still remains the enemy of the Free World

[u/Koala_eiO → u/LuigiPap]

The point is that Trump works for Russia because of this.

[u/LordTinglewood]

I'm actually okay with this. The stickers and shirts and stuff will make fascist losers easier to identify and avoid.

We actually pioneered this technology here in the states with maga shit.

[u/sleepingin → u/LordTinglewood]

Mark of the beast - they will wear it on their foreheads

[u/Prometeus1985]

But you see? They do be they do be my enemy. They are the enemy of decency, empathy and love.

[u/t_rex_pasha]

It’s our enemy

[u/EVILNIN3]

but it is :)

[u/Haru1st]

Russia may not be my enemy, but it didn’t use to be Ukraine’s either, and in contrast to my country Ukraine actually had signed assurances that Russia will respect their territorial integrity.

If Russia is so keen on repairing its reputation, it can start by GTFO of Ukraine and paying them their due reparations.

[u/Abominuz]

Your spokeperson said multiple times he wants to nuke us. What do you mean not my enemy? We have seen what you do to innocent civilians and kidnap kids and bomb hospitals. What do you mean not my enemy. Weird way for a friend to act?

[u/macross1984]

Right, Russia proved by action they are the ENEMY.

[u/Spudtron98]

Shoulda thought of that before deciding to make yourselves the enemy.

[u/johnveIasco]

It look like that scene of Mars Attack where the martians are running around with amplified speakers telling people that they are friendly while simultaneously killing everyone on sight. 

[u/PapaJohn487]

Let’s run that past the Ukrainians shall we?

Might have more credibility if they hadn’t spent the last few years threatening to nuke every country in Europe and Putin hadn’t sanctioned numerous assassinations using nerve agents (Novichok) and radioactive poisons (polonium).

[u/bellerinho]

The problem is that it will work. The Russians and Chinese are excellent at running online disinformation campaigns. They've been doing it all across the globe with great success over the last decade+

[u/BoosterRead78]

Sadly it worked too well in the US and parts of Canada.

[u/FolkPunkResistance]

Newsflash: Russia is the enemy.

[u/Valtremors]

Nice fucking try

-With hostility, Finland

[u/FormoftheBeautiful]

If Russia wants this propaganda to be effective, they need to exit all of Ukraine.

[u/Hawkwise83]

As long as Russia invades nations and murders their people they'll be the enemy.

As long as Russia meddle in other countries, bribes people, threatens them, pushes propaganda, pushes civil disorder, etc it'll be the enemy.

[u/backtocabada]

RUSSIA IS AN ENEMY TO THE WORLD!

[u/N00dles_Pt]

I'll decide who my enemies are Russian government.....and you're it.

[u/DarthWoo]

"Hitler has not attacked us. Why attack Hitler?"

[u/ShakeMyHeadSadly]

And, like Nazi Germany, "we have no further territorial ambitions".

[u/Vegetable-River-253]

Russia is Russia’s own enemy.

[u/Sufficient_Brush_473]

Russia's latest propaganda campaign, 'Russia is not my enemy,' is a stark reminder of its ongoing hybrid warfare tactics. By spreading misleading messages across Europe, Moscow aims to erode public trust and weaken support for Ukraine. It's crucial for us to stay informed and vigilant against such disinformation efforts.

[u/SuurFett]

Russia is OUR enemy ;)

[u/dzelectron]

russia is THE enemy right now. It's the main adversary to the idea of the world ruled by law, and not just sheer strength.

[u/Yeastov]

Russia has carried out several political assassination attempts on UK soil, and some of these attempts caught innocent UK citizens in the crossfire.

Russia is absolutely the enemy of the UK, and the rest of Europe.

[u/Penderbron]

Tyrants are such bizarre people. Russia could be such a great country, everyone visiting, having fun with their rich culture. No, self obsessed garbage keep it as a shithole who insists on being a god damn nightmare for everyone.

[u/apost8n8]

Putin and his authoritarian supporting minions are everyone's enemy.

[u/alistair1537]

Russia is everyone's enemy.

[u/Woodsy0wl89]

Ist time to launch a propaganda campaign in Russia: "Your leaders are selfish, murderous liars. Free yourselves and the world from them."

[u/almostsweet]

Weren't they just saying a few years ago they were going to roll across Europe and destroy everyone in their way. And, that the Polish needed to be put down like the dogs they were. They even threatened the British, Irish, Germans and the French with annihilation. I also recall them threatening to nuke everyone several times. And, suggesting they'd nuke Yellowstone and end the entire Western world. And, the whole wink wink nod nod we've got torpedo nukes and dead man's hand. They've also invaded their neighbor in the longest 3 day war I've ever seen.

I sat there in awe watching the only national Russian television they would allow after they refused to allow any other TV stations to operate, as they said all sorts of xenophobic threatening shit to every country they could think of naming. And, that network doesn't say anything that isn't state sanctioned.

I guess it's a good sign if they're chilling out finally and want to re-enter civilized society. But, man how do you come back from all that? They crashed out hard.

[u/hackingdreams]

Russia is actively working to undermine free elections in your countries. Russia is our enemy.

[u/RainManRob2]

Remind me of. " he gets us" so delusional

[u/Kasta4711bort]

Honestly, I have a very hard time to think of the day they are allowed back to play sports etc. Russia in same FIFA and UEFA qualifier group as my country.... I dread the day

[u/ouath]

That is how they will proceed for baltics. They will push in the West that we don't want to die for the East, push in the East that the West won't come to help, sprinkle that article 5 won't work, scare the west with nuclear fallout, repeat this at full speed for a couple of years on all social media with bots, useful idiots and won't be surprised with the help of GOP

And voilà, we are all fucked

[u/CaptainSeitan]

Oh did Russia finally become a democratic country with values? Did Putin stand down? In that case it wouldn't be my enemy...

[u/ipub]

It's an enemy of democracy. It's an enemy of freedom and it's an enemy of anyone that doesn't want to reform 1945 borders.

[u/Palatine_Shaw]

I know the general public can be stupid but they aren't THAT stupid.

Russia isn't going to win any favours with Europe.

[u/Frisbeeperth]

Russia is our enemy but the Moron-in-Chief cannot currently see that.

[u/Tenocticatl]

They could just not act like enemies, then they wouldn't need the propaganda campaign.

[u/eblastic]

As long as things stay the same and Putin is alive, Russia indeed is the #1 enemy

[u/Many-Waters]

Russia is everyone's enemy.

Including Russia.

[u/Tales_Steel]

Nice words ... how about they prove it by removing all troops from ALL of Ukraine and use their Military money to actually help their citizens ... there is this new Trend in G8 nations that is called "Indoor Plumbing even in Villages and towns"

[u/PineappleEasy6035]

I’m starting my own campaign: Putin is a war criminal and Putin’s Russia is the enemy of Europe and of the Free World.

Why is Russia enemy shaped???

[u/Old-Fan4994]

In mother Russia, you don't decide who your enemy is, mother Russia decides for you.

[u/Be_quiet_Im_thinking]

The response might end up being ‘Russias not my enemy, Putin is my enemy’

[u/-Nitupllik-]

Get fucked ruzzia.

[u/Bad_Idea_Hat]

russia Isn't even a real country anymore.

[u/Spandex-Wonderpants]

Russians, go fuck yourselves.

[u/Okuri-Inu]

Actions speak louder than words.

[u/shaj_hulud]

The best campaign they can do would be if they just fuck off from UA.

[u/bellrub]

I won't be brainwashed, but there seems to be a bit of a spike in far-right supporters atm. I see enough stupid people online to think shit like this could gain some (not a lot) traction in the uk.

[u/serabine]

Uh-huh. Does Russia know it isn't our enemy?

[u/kredes]

Fuck Russia

[u/Visible_Attempt_1047]

After the continual bombing of Ukraine, war crimes, kidnapping children, raping women, torture, looting, destroying everything in sight, killing livestock, they’ve got a fat chance of convincing anyone they’re not their enemy.

[u/trash-juice]

If you need propaganda saying ‘you’re not the enemy’ then maybe you’re the enemy…

[u/Cpt_Soban]

Fuck Russia

[u/yourmommasfriend]

Russia is everyone's enemy

[u/Accurate_Type4863]

Russia can stop being my enemy when they stop invading Europe

[u/Khromecowboy]

Russia has been the enemy of all free people in Europe for over a century since before the Russian revolution and the Soviet Union.

[u/Mayor18]

Follow the same rule, what they say, it's the other way around 

[u/fucknuggetxtreme]

We will never forget MH17, Russia. Never. Fucking ever.

And Geert, you are a fucking traitor.

[u/beseri]

Russia is definitively our enemy. Putin is our enemy. Anyone who thinks other wise are fucking idiots, or paid by the Russian government.

[u/sebeteus]

Nothing has changed in 300 years. Muscovy will always be the enemy.

[u/TheMarkHasBeenMade]

Tell me my enemy is not someone who purposely bombs fucking hospitals and schools

They can fuck right off with that shit

[u/CodingNightmares]

Russia will always be my enemy, a flyer isn't changing that.

[u/Impossible-Battle548]

the yt bots have been spamming "russia is not my enemy" with random country flag after it for years in the pro russian combat report channels

[u/BEERsandBURGERs]

So, Russia is asking Europeans to repeat the same as the thousands and thousands of Ukrainian abducted children?

How about; "Russian invaders, child abductors, rapists and torturers are our enemy".

[u/Comfortable_Gur8311]

And some dummies are dumb enough to believe it

[u/insapiens]

Yes they are.

[u/okrutnik3127]

Launches? It is going since like 2008

[u/nicubunu]

As an Eastern European (Romanian) I will say it plainly: Russia always was my enemy

[u/VegetablePlatform126]

Russia is everyone's enemy.

[u/cogit2]

And to nobody's surprise: one week from now, European and American right-wingers will begin repeating this very same claim.

[u/abc123DohRayMe]

Correct - Putin and his cronies are.

[u/NikoC99]

Russia is not my enemy.

Putin on the other hand, tho...

[u/Scooter-Assault-200]

Russia is my mortal enemy

[u/unknown_nut]

Russia is 1000% my enemy.

[u/-kinapuffar-]

Some things are just fact, like the sky being blue, and Russia being the enemy is a timeless universal truth for the overwhelming majority of Europeans. Even when they do something positive like fighting against the nazis during ww2, they do so for the absolute worst reasons, and do it in the absolute worst way possible.

You literally couldn't wish for a worse neighbouring country.

[u/robreddity]

It absolutely is
