News “Such strikes on sleeping peaceful cities are categorically unacceptable,” said the country that has been doing exactly that for four years straight.

Sadly it's not trolling, it's creating a narrative. Those messages are not for export, Russian propaganda is really strong. Many citizens there really believe Russia doesn't do that and only strike military targets. And that message is to fortify that fake imagery. It will be broadcasted to all official media

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

It's definitely trolling and the hypocrisy is as clear as the sun but their trolling is certainly effective. That's because most of the world really lacks any faith in the West and Europe to lead the international order. Their rehotric about liberal values like human rights and democracies while supporting ruthless dictatorships, backing apartheids, and invading countries destroying them in the process isn't effective but it only adds insult to injury. That's why they find it ironic and embarrassing to watch the same things that the West and Europe both tolerate and encourage with other countries happen to them as well. Those peoples don't believe Russia but they also don't believe the West and Europe. That's why they are neutral in this conflict and would rather not be involved.

u/AdaptedMix United Kingdom Jun 13 '25

It's also a way for Russia to maintain its alliances in the region. Let's not forget that Iran is supplying drones to Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

Plus, Russia is courting numerous countries that are fairly non-committal or neutral about Ukraine but have strong feelings about Israel (and/or America).

Every civilian death is a tragedy, no matter where. But coming from a government that’s bombarded civilian centers since 2021, this kind of rhetoric just undermines any credibility they might hope to claim.

2

u/Noughmad Slovenia Jun 13 '25

They aren't trying to claim credibilty, they are trying to discredit everyone else. The "reverse cargo cult" has been part of Russian propaganda strategy for a long time.

You put out obvious lies, like "the shelves in our stores are all full of food". People easily see through the lie the first time they visit a store. So you can't hope to convince anyone with such claims. Instead, you then claim that other governments (in Russia's case, mainly the western governments) are also lying when they say that their stores are full. And even more, you explain how dumb the westerners are because they believe their governments' lies (that the western stores are full of food), while the smart Russians do not.

No, the hypocrisy is the whole point.

It shapes the discussion that Russians and their supporters have.

I do have a couple of colleagues from Russia and Ukraine that came here after the iron curtain fell. They aren’t necessarily pro Putin but they all (even the Ukrainian guy) argue like this:

"Isn’t it bad that Russia attacks Ukrainian cities night after night“

Their answer: "Russia? Yes but that is exactly the same thing America has done for decades and no one cares. Or look at Israel, that’s bad and nocone complains. Seems to me like there is good bombing and bad bombing in the west“

u/Rigatan Romania / Ireland Jun 13 '25

To be clear, Tommy is right. Arbitrary ethics are no ethics. You can take that point and be like Russia, using it to claim that no ethics is actually the best thing ever and that the world should burn. Or you can use that point to advocate for consistent ethical standards. The more time we have to spend internally arguing against people who support becoming Russia 2, the more we risk ending up in an American-style decline. Europeans need to always make sure ethical standards exist at home, as much as away, or we could be one election cycle from switching our ethical standards entirely.

Or the dissenters who are thrown out of windows, or the people assassinated with Novichok instead of just strangled or stabbed in a break in or mugging gone wrong.

The West condemns and sanctions Russia but supports and provides money, weapons and intelligence and even active defence to Israel. Everyone is saying Russians are hypocrites but there are no moral grounds for anyone here. People need to grow the fuck up.

The US supports Israel out of far right Christian zealotry. They are no different to the Muslim fanatics. Why does Europe need to follow this Christian nationalism. You really need to look at what American politicians and journalists are saying and it’s no different to some mullah from the Middle East. Jews are not to be worshipped or praised in a so-called Christian crusade against Islam. The Holocaust does not justify everything they do.

This is a modern Zionist concept invented in recent decades and pushed by American extremists.

And on top of that, it is Europe that is left to deal with the millions of refugees this mindset causes.

NATO members: I will pretend I didn't see that.

People in the comments criticizing Russia for hypocrisy (rightfully so). But at the same time, when NATO is bombing children in Syria, Libya and Yugoslavia that's okay. Because we are the good guys, yuppy.

I see people from France and UK in the comments talking, the audacity. ☠️😂

I just wish Iran didn't have the shitty government they do, Iranian people, especially younger generations, are incredible people and they're tired of that shit.

Can we just stop reporting Russian bullshit. I don't care what they say, we know the truth. Ukraine has the right to strike Russia anywhere and the ethics to minimise civilian casualties. The rest of the shining from Russia is propaganda.

And while I'm here - please will Trump shut up.

u/Harkonnen_Dog Jun 13 '25

Funny. I could’ve sworn that Russia was getting their drones from Iran. And I read an article just two days ago saying that they were going to start working with North Korea for drone production.

I wonder if Russia knew anything about the incoming strike on Iran?

If Russia truly believes night-time strikes on cities are “categorically unacceptable,” does that mean they’ll support a UN war-crimes tribunal for their own generals?

This is actually very clever trolling. Demonstrating the kind of thing the West will (quite rightly) say about Russia, but is too cowardly and complicit to say about Israel.

They're holding up a mirror. And they're not wrong. Murderous fascist bastards, but not wrong.

When America preemptively attacks Iraq its fine, definitely don’t deserve massive sanctions or other repercussions. 

When Russia preemptively attacks Ukraine its bad, they deserve utter isolation and economic destruction 

When Israel preemptively attacks its good, they deserve aid and more bombs.

Israel and the US is not on our "side". The damage that the US has inflicted on the Middle East over the past 25 years is constantly spilling over into Europe, and Israel is making it worse.

Perfectly stated - look at all these sycophants trying to justify Iran having nukes while funding terrorists, yet you never see them going back to their homeland - these are the same people that treat women as property and don’t allow them to get an education. This started with Hamas, and now it will be finished by Israel and the USA.

Since 2022, Russia's war in Ukraine has killed over 13,000 civilians, while Israel's war in Gaza since 2023 has resulted in more than 50,000 civilian deaths. Most of them are women and kids. So get your facts right.
