    We’re going to have to do a media analysis to retort, but the evidence is clear - if you talk about 2014 then all social media platforms immediately respond en masse with “that’s Putinist propaganda”. If the MSM had truly been pushing this larger historical context, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

      If the " evidence is clear", can you show me an example? You’re not the first person to say this, but no one yet has actually provided a citation or source to demonstrate what you’re talking about.

      I have been following the conflict fairly closely across many different sources, and it certainly hasn’t seemed controversial to say that the conflict began in 2014 instead of 2022.

        That’s what I am saying. We need to do an analysis to find the evidence. It’s primarily been a social media experience. There’s a lot of places talking about the real context in the media, but clearly there’s a dominant narrative on social media coming from somewhere.

        You honestly never heard the expression “unprovoked invasion” in the mainstream media?
