Morality Shouldn’t Get in the Way’ — Russia’s Genocidal State Media

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s elite propagandists wanted to drink champagne in the studio to properly celebrate the moment. 

 

With the bloody all-out invasion now in its second year, the euphoria has been replaced by a lingering sense of dread, with Putin’s mouthpieces routinely fretting about the possibility of war crimes tribunals. The issue is playing on their minds.

 

Appearing on the state TV show, Evening With Vladimir Solovyov in November, Simonyan said: “Let me tell you that if we manage to lose, the Hague — whether real or hypothetical — will even come for the street cleaner sweeping the cobblestones behind the Kremlin.”

On the one hand, in Russia, it's a serious crime to call Russia's invasion of Ukraine a war. Which it is.

But to call for the extermination of millions is not a crime.

And yet Russia claims that it's the Ukrainians who are the Nazis.

Let's hope so.

Any R.T. watchers here?

 

"In October, RT’s director of broadcasting, Anton Krasovsky, suggested drowning Ukrainian children, setting Ukrainian homes on fire — with the inhabitants inside — and alleged that Ukrainian grandmothers would gladly pay to be raped by Russian soldiers."
