How Russian State Media Is Portraying the War in Ukraine | WSJ

Media coverage of Russian troops invading Ukraine is unfolding differently in Russia than in the U.S. Using maps and disinformation, many television programs are shaping public opinion by justifying Moscow’s decision to attack its neighbor. Photo composite: Sharon Shi

Haha but after sanctioning Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and Russia, Americans still can’t see that it’s not the way to replace the government and make the leader of the country to resign - it’s only means to hurt ordinary people who don’t have any say in the government’s decisions or policies and that’s just inhumane. They should just stop pretending that they care about the ordinary folks because with all these sanctions they just make their lives just more measurable. Why can’t they see that the sanctions just don’t work?!

@Nunix this number just cannot be right. 25 billion a day is a trillion in 40 days and it’s impossible.

[@ianstrom4365]

@Nunix with the skyrocketing prices of gas and oil the prices of pretty much everything are going to rise immensely increasing the inflation in most of the countries to the levels they cannot afford so it’s unclear who is suffering more here. Russia already had sanctions in 2014 and surprisingly they managed to build an army for this special operation. All these sanctions are temporary and soon they’ll be over.

[@DP-rr9kp]

What I have learned from observing wars for the past 50 years, is that every country has its own interpretation of reality which is reflected throughout their news media. When the US invaded the Middle East, we were bombarded with propaganda that reflected the country’s interest and excusing their invasion as a necessary to defeat “evil”, they said, when they were the invaders in a war that killed over a million people, hundreds of thousands woman and children whose faces were never shown in US media ( understandably, so). So, American and European invasion was promoted as good in the states ( cnn, msnbc,fox, etc.). Now that another country executes an invasion of its own, the news shifted to condemn the invaders, and show pictures of the victims, which they never did in Iraq or Afghanistan. So, yes the Russian people are watching the news their government wants to share with them, just as we watch the news that our government wants to share with us. “ believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear”

[@dharhard398]

Not all media showed the US in a positive light. A lot of news channels and journalists disagreed with our position in the Middle East. It took a while because of 9/11 and the miseducation of American citizen. In Russia you could die or got to jail for reporting news that put the Russian government in bad light. It’s really not comparable.

[@DP-rr9kp]

@@dharhard398 whatever you think about our moral superiority is a lie. We killed a million people in Iraq, that doesn’t make us good. Look at the difference on the news covered between Ukrainians and Iraq. We called them evil in order to justify our war crimes with the support of the American people who for months prior to the invasion were condition through pure propaganda to support such inmortal actions. You have to read between the lines to find traces of truth. All governments lie, to believe otherwise is simply naive.

There were point in history were Russian killed Ukrainians and sent Russian civilians to replace the numbers in order to gain control. We never tried to turn the Middle East into a US Territory. Also Russia was in the Middle East along with every industrialized country and they were brutal there than we were but how come no Russian outlets reported their actions in Middle East?

If Putin invades Ukraine on the basis that it was historically part of Russia, does it give the right to the United Kingdom to bring back the British empire, or perhaps for Poland to once more include Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus within its borders?

[@Kay-lc4ku]

That is not the basis for the invasion, but it provides a historical context as to why some regions in Ukraine, namely the southeastern Donbas region (search for Donbas war, there is a documentary about it by french reporter Anne-Laure Bonnel & it is also well documented by UN, HRW & Amnesty Intl). If you want to go back in time to get an even better context, research Euromaidan 2013 protests, the pro maidan & anti maidan clashes, the Odessa 2014 massacre then the Donbas war that spanned 8 years. Search for Minsk agreements. I'd also suggest you search for these paramilitary battalions (azov, dnipro, aidar & donbas battalion). This should give you enough elements to pick today's conflict apart & understand part of what motivated Putin's decision. I don't know why the media isn't talking about Donbas or calling it a separatist movement, implying that it's a bunch of rebels but Donbas has a civilian population against whom the Kiev regime has declared war in 2014. Sorry I can't explain as it is long but I encourage you to look into it.

Okay show us that so we are aware. But where was the same coverage when US military were indiscriminately bombing Iraq. The impact to the children there? To this day, US media still call US invasion an intervention ... Putin has called it the same thing in Ukraine yet Putin is going to get charged with war crimes and Bush and Blair walk free?

@@eric5901 Saying that Russian and US media is exactly the same is garbage. What you say in your reply isn't. I agree with you that the US and others should face the consequences Russia faces.

Even someone as critical of the US as Noam Chomsky says that US media is free. You mention that the Iraq war wasn't covered j, but I myself remember seeing extremely harsh criticism of that war on US networks, including horrible pictures of the devastation. You would never see anything close to that on Russian state media

[@TEH_RIK]

@@eric5901 Though I agree with you that the US did not receive the similar treatment that Russia faces now (Sanctions, Boycott etc), at least the invasion in Iraq was admitted as an unprovoked war by the UN. As a result, President Bush was heavily condemned not by the world media but also in the US. Thousands take to the streets to protest and guess what, they did not get arrested for that. At least the west acknowledges the war in Iraq as unnecessary and uncalled for. On the contrary, Russian state media till to this day labelled the invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation" and even refused to admit civilians are being bombed/killed by labelling those footages as fake western media. Not only that, protest against the war in St. Petersburg resulted in thousands of protesters and a reporter being arrested. Now you tell me, is US and Russian media similar?

That is not as far fetched as you are deliberately trying to make it. China still claims most of Russia as breakaway territories that still belong to China, and has not renounced those lands. They had a brief undeclared war or "special operation" in the late 60's which ended in a stalement. Neither ceded but neither wanted to fight at that time. Since then China has grown stronger and stronger, while Russia keeps economically crippling itself. Interesting times ahead...
