Playing the devil's advocate here - but a honest question - I've always wondered if I'd be able to recognize propaganda from within.
We're at a point now where all I see (in western media) is videos of long lines of refugees, children crying for their fathers that were drafted in Ukraine and companies banning everything Russian to turn it into a PR event online, articles about Ukranian hero president (in part articles about how sexy he is - I kid you not) - an on the other side of the spectrum Putin portrayed as a bloodthirsty madman that lost control.
I have to wonder - if anything in the world is ever portrayed this black and white - could it be true?
DISCLAIMER - condone war in every possible way and whatever the truth is in the end - Russia definitely lost control by attacking. But still - seems like we're getting a fair amount of propaganda ourselves too.
You're more than welcome to go to Medyka, Hrebenne, Korczowa, Krościenko and see for yourself. Take a flight to Rzeszów airport and then take a train to Przemyśl.
