It would seem to be all your’n. They do have poopaganda, but that sounds so much less, uh, um, _elegant_. ---

I’m sure the “w” was in error: > [@Russia invades Ukraine {2022-02-24} (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-invades-ukraine-2022-02-24/960037/9941): > > I have not heard this - could you provide further information? Ok, in order to keep things TRUE, we can say that there are NO huge anti-nato / anti-EU protests throughout Eur. let’s not create false-flags here … ---

There have been _some_ anti-NATO protests in Europe this year, but they seem to have a strong pro-Russia theme to them for reasons I couldn’t possibly speculate on. It’s certainly not a big grassroots thing. ---

Yes, a few and not huge. I found that there are several youtube videos with exactly @Sam_Stone 's word choise in the title. I guess they are Russian propaganda, for I have certainly not seen anything in the news. ---

> [@BeepKillBeep](#): > > You make a lot of factual errors on this site. I’ve learned many things at this site from many intelligent people, and I’ve seen many statements of “fact” challenged and debunked by those same intelligent people. Cites are expected when claims of fact are made, and that is so people can check and challenge more easily. You have an aura of superiority about you. Frankly, I get the distinct feeling that it is undeserved. ---

It’s certainly not a big grassroots thing. In Norway there has been some kneejerk anti-NATO Russia apologetics in the furthest red and anti-NATO wings, but the larger socialist party has finally removed replacing NATO with a Nordic defense union from their platform. And no protests of mentionable size. ---

If there wasn’t something there, @JohnT wouldn’t have been asking questions in the first place, after all. I mean, we have the sign. We have the yard. How can we be sure Republicans didn’t steal a yard sign? I’m going to wait until the evidence is finally analyzed before jumping to any biased partisan conclusions about sign tampering. ---

And now in the thread about the classified docs in Biden’s private office in P&E @Sam_Stone has misrepresented the facts in a way that I don’t see as any different than flat out lying. The post in question is [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/classified-documents-found-in-biden-private-office-in-november-2022-january-9-2023/977945/133). Each of the “examples” he offers are far more egregious and intentional than what we currently know about the Biden situation. In particular the first one he offers concerning Elizabeth Jo Shirley who was sentenced to 97 months in prison is seriously bullshit and to me shows he is either a fucking moron who can’t comprehend what he is reading or is a dishonest, lying sack of shit. @Lance_Turbo does an excellent job pointing out the dishonesty in his repsonse [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/classified-documents-found-in-biden-private-office-in-november-2022-january-9-2023/977945/190). This guy needs to seriously fuck off. ---
