Russian TV boast: Putin's army aims to conquer continents
8:13 AM EDT, August 21, 2024
Russian propaganda has been tremendously significant in shaping the public opinion of ordinary Russians for years. Every day, they are fed fabricated "information" dictated from the Kremlin. This time, Russian television claimed that Vladimir Putin's army is prepared to conquer not only countries but entire continents, even with the help of nuclear charges.
Many of the reports disseminated by Russian media and government representatives are likely not true. Such reports may be part of an information warfare by the Russian Federation.
Russian propaganda relies on several key mechanisms. Primarily, disinformation techniques are often used, including false information or half-truths.
Another mechanism is the demonization of opponents, which is evident in narratives about Ukraine or the West. Information warfare, i.e., the systematic manipulation of information to achieve specific political goals, is also employed.
On the international stage, this propaganda creates an image of Russia as a victim of Western aggression, which is meant to justify the Kremlin's actions. Interestingly, this time Russian television claimed that Vladimir Putin's army is ready to conquer not only countries but entire continents.
It is possible that Russia's target is an entire continent. Our combat capabilities are sufficient to make one less continent. It would be good to strike with a bomb, not 10 megatons, but say 1,000 megatons (1,100 short tons), to shift the earth's axis - one propagandist responded, supported by Vladimir Solovyov, one of the minds behind Kremlin propaganda.
"Putin's media soldier" threatens with nuclear arms
Vladimir Solovyov began his career as a journalist, gaining popularity in Russian media. Over the years, he has hosted various television and radio programs, increasing his reach and influence.
His journalistic skills quickly caught the attention of the Kremlin, leading to his gradual involvement in government propaganda.
In recent years, Vladimir Solovyov has become one of the most critical tools of Kremlin propaganda. Solovyov hosts a political talk show on state television Rossiya 1, where he invites other government-loyal commentators. For over a year, the main topics of the program have been the "special operation" in Ukraine, its "denazification," and the West's hostility towards Russia.
