New York Times Admits Overwhelming Majority of Russians Support Ukrainian Intervention

One thing that has been very shocking to me is that there has been no attempt whatsoever by the West to try and reach out to the Russian people. I would have thought that the entire plan here was to establish a Fifth Column in Russia to try to overthrow Putin; instead, everything the West has done is rally the masses to Putin.

They’ve put most of their sanctions directly on the Russian population, and then they’ve launched a global offensive to discriminate against the Russian people as a race. This is the opposite of what you would want to do, I think in any situation.

Even if you were planning on having a real war with Russia, you would want to have people who support you in the country.

Of course, the media was claiming for a while that Russians were “protesting against Putin.” Now they’re admitting that isn’t even happening.

New York Times:

The stream of anti-war letters to a lawmaker in St. Petersburg, Russia, has dried up. Some Russians who had criticized the Kremlin have turned into cheerleaders for the war. Those who publicly oppose it have found the word “traitor” scrawled on their apartment door.

Five weeks into President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, there are signs that the Russian public’s initial shock has given way to a mix of support for their troops and anger at the West. On television, entertainment shows have been replaced by extra helpings of propaganda, resulting in a round-the-clock barrage of falsehoods about the “Nazis” who run Ukraine and American-funded Ukrainian bioweapons laboratories.

The New York Times is like a parody of fake news.

Polls and interviews show that many Russians now accept Putin’s contention that their country is under siege from the West and had no choice but to attack. The war’s opponents are leaving the country or keeping quiet.

“We are in a time machine, hurtling into the glorious past,” said Solomon Ginzburg, an opposition politician in the western Russian region of Kaliningrad. He portrayed it as a political and economic regression into Soviet times. “I would call it a devolution, or an involution.”

The public’s endorsement of the war lacks the patriotic groundswell that greeted the annexation of Crimea in 2014. But polls released this week by Russia’s most respected independent pollster, Levada, showed Putin’s approval rating hitting 83%, up from 69% in January. Eighty-one percent said they supported the war, describing the need to protect Russian speakers as its primary justification.

In Russia, people take polls.

In Democratic Ukraine, pole takes you.

Well.

I’m glad the New York Times Jews were able to find a Jew to talk to in Russia who agrees with them.

I think Solomon Ginzburg should be arrested for treason.
