    It is much more than that. It is very obviously an attempt to use cute animals to raise sympathy for the Ukrainian Army. Everybody likes pictures of cute animals so that is being exploited. For months hundreds of pictures like this have been posted on reddit systematically. If you don´t see the pattern and think that is not an organized propaganda campaign you are simply being naive.

      As long as it damages any Russian efforts to justify their unilateral genocide… Bring on the cat pics.

        I honestly believe no reasonable person thinks that reacting to expansionism by trade agreements and diplomacy with counter expansionism by war is justified. If someone is misguided enough to believes it is, cat pictures will probably not help.

          Most people feel before they think. The fact you didn’t consider that leads me to conclude your definition of “reasonable” is flawed.

            You obviously don´t understand at all what reasonable means. Something is reasonable when it is based on logic reasoning (and not on emotion). That is exactly what makes it reasonable.

            Reason is the capacity of applying logic consciously by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth (…) Reason is sometimes referred to as rationality Source: Wikipedia

              You are naive and inflexible. That is unreasonable.

              Also that’s not the definition of reasonable. So you are inexact as well. Bad combination.

              Well that excludes you. You are incapable of understanding that these pictures help the animals and harm the ruzzian orcs. Instead you have filled this thread with your implicit approval of the orcs.

              Stop being a hypocrite. Be a better human.

      “Organized propaganda campaign”

      My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.

        Nothing wrong with that, I have respect for everyone who is taking care of animals in horrible situations as war. Using photos of it for means of propaganda is a whole different topic though.

            You are hallucinating. I never wrote anything like that. Please quote where I did (hint: you can´t because there is no such statement from me)

              You don’t have to. Your actions and words are full of tacit approval of the Ruzzians since you refuse to denounce them and have called out the Ukrainian victims here.
