      It’s definitely pro-Russian, but what is the lie?

      I don’t think it is. Not the meme anyway. u/jankforlife may be pro-Russian (which is the correct stance for any anti-imperialist to take) and post other memes that are pro-Russian, but this particular meme is neutral as to whether Russia is a positive or negative force in geopolitics. It’s just pointing out the double standard of western liberals. But yes, you are of course correct that there are no “lies” being repeated here, this piefed bootlicker is just throwing a tantrum about seeing a meme where Russia isn’t explicitly being compared to Mordor and Putin to Voldemort, and it’s breaking their propaganda-pickled brain.

        It’s not a lie, it’s an easily demonstrable fact. But the meme that you are whining and pissing yourself about says nothing about the fact that Ukraine is a Nazi state (which it is). All it says is that there is a common double standard to what many people (presumably western liberals) think what constitutes a “war crime” vs an “unfortunate but necessary” act depending on whether that act was performed by one of the US’s enemies or by the US and its ally regimes. You are just looking for something to throw a fit about.

        That isn’t a lie though, since 2014 Ukraine has been governed by Banderites that uphold Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera.
