Ukrainian leftist's response to Gravel's anti-Ukrainian propaganda |
|
Gravel Institute is known among leftists for criticizing America and being a leftie counterpart to the infamous Prager U. So when Ukraine became a hot topic again after weeks of Russia amassing troops at our borders, Gravel I. decided to overextend and take a massive shit on Ukraine, since Ukraine has received American support in the past, kinda trying to dunk on the US by bashing its "ally". This time the gloves were off and their video watched almost like a good old Prager U propaganda piece. Dishonest framing, misuse of statistics, obfuscations, citing Russian state media as sources, etc. It really is a shitstorm of a video. And the smug confidence with which all of it is presented is simply infuriating. Anyway, enjoy.
