external(to foreigners, not russians living in russia) propaganda seems to be just truth as the government of russia sees it. internally russia has a lot of stupid propaganda, the same way it is here, maybe even less. but external propaganda is not some evil nefarious shit, the only goal of it is to destabilize the opponent, ie ''you are not the good guys, we are the good guys'' to make general population doubt the current narrative or ''look at all the problems you have at your own country'' to shift the focus to other things. in the end, if you are not an idiot, you know that neither russia or us, or ukraine are the good guys, it is all just part of geopolitical bullshit and the geopolitical bullshit is a way to distract you(a mere idiot peasant) from internal problems.
