      You think Vladimir Putin himself is involved in creating propaganda?

      When Putin gives a speech that spreads misinformation about what Zelensky says then yes, he’s very much part of spreading propaganda and misinformation.

      The Kremlin is a tourist museum.

      You do realize I’m not speaking literally? I’m using the common metonymy for the Russian Government, just like The Pentagon for the US armed forces, The White House for the US presidency, #10 Downing Street for the UK Prime Minister, Beijing for China’s government, and so on. But more literally, the Grand Kremlin Palace is the residence of the Russian president.

          What Zelensky said in Ukrainian about preemptive strikes was real. How an English speaker is hearing the translation is not.

          > I realise you’re mindlessly repeating cheesy propaganda tropes.

          Do you actually know what you’re talking about, or are you just insulting me on principle? There are various kremlins, most of which are museums but one of which is the working office of the president. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Kremlin_Palace

          > Zelensky threatened Russia with nukes. Now you know this for a fact.

          Please, do tell how Zelensky threatened Russia with nukes during a speech that mentions a desire for NATO membership (which Ukraine has not been shy about) but never expresses a desire for nuclear weapons.
