Ah, Putin... Just when we think you can't sink any lower ...

You surprise us yet again!

They carried flowers, and handmade signs reading "нет войне" — No to War. They tried to leave their message outside Ukraine's embassy in Moscow — and for that, they were arrested.

That's the story emerging in Russia about five children, ages 7 to 11, who went with their mothers to visit the embassy on Tuesday. Their excursion could have served as a reminder of shared humanity, even during a conflict. But police in Moscow didn't see it that way. They detained the kids and parents, putting them in a holding cell."

Russia hit the propaganda train early, first, and hard. The way they say it, Russia is a paradise where nothing bad happens. Hell, they've altered media to claim that Ukrainians were gunning down their own. Absolutely fucking bizarre how many bought the lies (those damn nazis running the holocaust memorial...)

@samwithoutapath brainwashed and no other source of information ... I've met mainland Chinese people who don't believe tienamen square happened either ... Total control of the media allows that

@ozgirl512 Helps when you jail anyone that questions it. Even by the thousands. After all, no protesters means everyone is happy!

There is so much fake news, who knows if this is true or not.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Carissimi a valid point ... But it does go along with footage of protesters being arrested

Oops sorry about the typos 🥴

{@ozgirl512] it is shame that thug in the kremlin cannot understand his people in his country do not want brother russians killing brother russians and call an immediate cease fire

@smiler2012 it's a brave fool who tells the king they're wrong...

We never thought he could sink lower. He stole Bill Bellicheck's superbowl ring, is lower even possible?

I just read about Ukranian people attempting to inform their Russian families about what is happening.

Their Russian families do not believe them. Not even when they are shown video and are speaking on video calls. They claim it is all fake and "photoshopped".


But...this...children being put in a holding cell.... Is this information kept from spreading in Russia, I assume?

@ozgirl512 That child's face..this is a defining moment for her and I hate that it is such a terrible one.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@JaggedLittlePill as they say, a picture is worth ....
JaggedLittlePill · 46-50, F
@JaggedLittlePill Apparently Russia(Moscow police) wanted to keep the kids over night. They didn't and released them after a few hours.

But the parents face court dates and they might lose custody of their children. 😡
