    That doesn’t feel like much. In Romania the ruling coalition has been spending upwards of 40mil euro for “press and propaganda” every year since 2021. And this is in a country with an eighth of the population and 1/50 of the land surface.

    Edit: lol, it’s 27 mil per week. Nevermind

      If you don’t know, you are new to this and haven’t been a troll for very long. You can do better. Try looking at the power of the dollar and point out how little it buys. The ruble is so devalued that an entire country can run a propaganda campaign for less than a US tank each month. That’s good value. Did you know that if Russians rise up and stop Putin, they would have worse job opportunities and no way to save their family from the impending famine? The West will absolutely starve Russia because they listen to the West too. Everyone does. Russia is powerless to actually do anything to stop the West, which is why so many Russians have to die. Stop Putin and die slowly or work with him and die quickly. It’s quite a choice for an entire nation who supports him. Hopefully India and China share their rice because in Russia no food will be growing. Just sunflowers.
