Putin desperately wants the sanctions lifted.

[yardwork]

The U.S. sanctions against Russia prevent Putin from completing the oil pipeline through Ukraine and from accessing billions of dollars that he stashed in banks around the world. Putin will stop at nothing to get his money back.

Expect propaganda including but not limited to the following false narratives:

1. Russia is our friend.
2. The Russians are misunderstood.
3. If we don't lift the sanctions then we are doomed to nuclear war.
4. It's all Bill Clinton's fault.

1. The Sanctions are working

3. Tough shit Putin! You screwed our country.

[Coventina]

4. Yup. Seeing it here and in "The Nation".

All of the above.

Plus:

1. We antagonized them first.
2. It's our fault for being so easy to hack/manipulate.

5. Also

"We're bad too."

And: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not."
