7. COUNTERING THE PROPAGANDA:
Tue Feb 18, 2025, 08:41 PM
Feb 18

COUNTERING THE PROPAGANDA:

"Trump on Tuesday appeared to blame Ukraine’s leaders for the three-year war with Russia"
"repeated his claim that the war would never have started if he had been president"
"I think I have the power to end this war."

Source?
News Source?
Alterations to original?
Is this just meant as a distraction?
Is there verification from other sources?
Would your non-MAGA friends believe this?
After you've answered the above, what do you think now?

I use this format on Bluesky to comat news that's really Trump propaganda.
Trying to get people to start thinking critically and not just accepting.
Feedback from these type of posts have been very positive.
Bluesky wants to label me as a spammer - I think it's becase of these posts.
