Netflix has just put a full documentary on YouTube, making Winter on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom available free to anyone interested in understanding the Russia-Ukraine war. The move came late on Friday, just as Russia announced a new fake news law meant to hinder dissent in the country. Anyone disseminating news about the war — including calling it a “war” — will face up to 15 years in jail. That includes members of the press who do not serve the authoritarian regime in the country.

Separately, Russia has blocked parts of the internet in the county. That means many people in Russia are not able to watch Winter on Fire, even though you can stream the entire documentary for free on YouTube. But everyone else in the world can watch it in full for free on YouTube. The documentary will help you understand where Ukraine’s desire for freedom comes from and what kind of people are fighting Putin’s army.

              @BigTime: Speaking out against NATO, Western Media and US Imperialism doesn't mean most people here endorse Putin as a hero or as "right". Most are literally trying to say there's a lot more nuance when both sides are lying through their teeth at the moment and you'd be stupid to only just believe one side without understanding the complexities of it all.

              So still bots? Let me know where we can procure bots to this level of AI (certainly above people who "only" believe Western Media)?

      It's not just bots but the new "far-right woke" movement. It's edgy now to support authoritarian regimes. A lot of them are likely anti-vaxers too. The funny thing is their hero Putin is a massive pro-vaxer.

          Putin uses a neo Nazi mercenary army in all his conflict zones called Wagner Group. The founder is a massive Nazi hence the name, "Wagner". They are also accused of war crimes in all areas that they have operated in. They are currently operating in Ukraine.

      They are hardly bots. The war is a complete disgrace and should never have happened. But pretending one side is innocent in this doesn't do anyone any favours. A little bit of history research for the last 12 years of what happened makes all sides look disgusting.

      • subywagon on 06/03/2022 - 09:58
        +8

        You are correct. No side is completely innocent. But an invasion when you're own country isn't being attacked and killing families does tend to make you wonder who the "bad guys" are.

        • gromit on 06/03/2022 - 10:01

          And the same can be said about what Ukraine was doing. Not pretending what Russia is doing isn't Evil, but then so was what Ukraine was doing, you basically have 2 fundamentally corrupt countries going at each other. Sadly the people that ultimately pay for this evil are the innocents.

            @gromit: I think if you dig a little deeper you will see all countries are fundamentally corrupt. At the end of the day, currently the Ukrainian PEOPLE are fighting for their survival and existence against a much larger belligerent who was not under attack at the time of the invasion. It's completely unjustified.

          Not trying to justify anything I just want people to know that Ukraine committed the worst massacre I’ve ever read about in Volhynia. A survivor drew like pictures of what he saw and they were so messed up I couldn’t get through half of it.

          • subywagon on 06/03/2022 - 12:53

      I believe most people are just calling out the western hypocrisy for what it is.

      When did we see such a widespread condemnation of US invasions over the last several decades?

      But I guess nothing will change someone's mind when the “truth” is already pre-established.

            @victorheaven: It was covered by widespread media as Murdoch didn't have as much contro. And no, no widespread sanctions because obviously people were protesting against the western countries involvement….

            • bchliu on 06/03/2022 - 10:56

              @subywagon: Murdoch only has a percentage of control. The controls are literally much higher when you have government sanctions against media companies that doesn't tow the line. (ie. no more media access to government press conferences, threats of removal of their media licensing etc). Five Eyes control pretty much all of western media narratives down to "jokes" written for John Oliver.

        The truth is US and it’s alliances keep saying that there are going to bring the wealthy, peace and democracy to the countries where they started the war and invasion. The ending is always pathetic and those countries are never really enjoying any progression.

    1. Why is Cuba under severe sanctions still ?
    2. Why can't nations decide themselves if they need nuclear weapons for deterrent ? I understand its a huge topic for discussion.
    3. No action has been taken against US and its allies ever for invasion of multiple countries and toppling of numerous democracies ?
    4. Why the (profanity) would you park missiles in Poland when Cuba can't host a missile ? Is it not a sovereign country too
    5. US alone have killed 3000 persons per day since 9/11. Why don't anyone in this country have a spine to Sepak up.
    6. Israel is committing war crimes every day but US arms them with nuclear weapons and provides huge financial assistance.
    7. It's illegal to label products of origin (Israel ) in Europe so people can choose to boycott.
      8.our journalists got raided when they published articles about war crimes committed by out troops.
    8. Russia has said repeatedly that they need assurances in writing that Ukraine won't be give NATO membership. After Zelensky came to power , Ukrainian constitution was changed : Aim to become a NATO member.

    The actions taken by west and the western companies are right and happy to see that but I would like to see the same or 100 times reaction and boycotts starting with Israel and US. Haven't seen one , just can't understand the balring hypocrisy.

      1. Because America considers Latin America their backyard and no one else is allowed to play there. Not an excuse, it's disgusting
      2. That's definitely an extensive discussion
      3. Actions have been taken, but they're entirely ineffective. America is the most powerful country in the world (still). Much like Putin has faced few charges for his extensive list of war crimes
      4. Blocking weapons in Cuba is a pretty minor in terms of crimes during the cold war. Also they put missiles in Turkey, not Poland (unless you mean the missile defence in Poland?)
      5. America has killed 22 million people???
      6. The US has not armed Israel with nuclear weapons, the French did. It's disgusting that Israel is allowed to keep nukes, but there was a point in the 1960's that the Israelis were worried the US was going to invade to end their nuclear program. In the end, Kennedy's assassination let the Israelis carry on without too many questions
      7. Israel didn't want to have to labels that products came from specific Israeli settlements, but they lost and are forced to label it (it's certainly not illegal to put the labelling on at all)
        8.1 Vote out the Liberal party
        8.2 Russia can repeatedly say whatever they like, there was no agreement signed on not expanding NATO. Seems like general whinging from Putin

      Unsure why this is important to the thread at hand, the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia. That people are hypocritical isn't surprising at all, but this list of vaguely accurate historical events doesn't really add much.

      The two websites reported that the money, allegedly, is periodically deposited by Ukrainian billionaires. Again, there is no Dresdner Bank Lateinamerika operating in Costa Rica, as confirmed by the General Superintendency of Financial Institutions (Sugef).

      so people disagreeing with you are bots?

      or maybe you don't realise that you behave exactly like a bot

      @diddy50 Bahaha, so much for "freedom" and "democracy" you love so much. Sounds like you're a dictator yourself

    So this is what it’s come to right anyone who doesn’t share your opinion is a Russia bot? Look at our accounts we’ve been members here for years with hundreds of comments. Trying to dismiss any differing opinions is fascism.

      I don't need to agree with your comments. Beauty of freedom.

      Which is the exact opposite of what Putin is doing. Ya know. Murder and war with a European democratic sovereign nation.

        so the 2014 toppling a democratically elected president was OK then for you?

        Or you don't even care about it as long as Americans did it?

    I fail to see the difference between US invading Iraq and Afghan vs Russia invading Ukraine. Only thing is when America invade they are the liberators, but when Russia invade they are the villains. News headlines and words doesn’t change the fact you just killing thousands of civilians for your own agenda. America are just hypocrites and Australia is just their puppet state.

      There are similarities e.g. Both usa and Russia are greedy for oil and gas reserves.

      One is a democracy the other is a communist dictatorship.

      If you can't see the difference in those two imperfect beasts, then why should anyone waste any time trying to explain it to you.
      Of course Putin is a villain. To paint him as anything else is laughable.

          Putin pretends to run democratic elections, but kills and jails any opponents.
          He runs a communist autocratic government in every sense of the word. Read more.

            @UFO: It's definitely nowhere near communist in the ideological sense of the theory.

            It moved towards kleptocratic capitalism a long time ago.

        There are no perfect political system. But don’t let the facts get in the way of a news headline. There are plenty of thing more socialist in Australia then Russia. Eg handing out free money to ppl and companies to prop them up, that is Anything but capitalist.

          I agree completely, I never said either was perfect. There is 100% no perfect political system.

          In actual fact I will go so far as to say communism as a theory on paper is near perfect. Everyone gets the same, there is no rich or poor. But practically speaking, humans are corruptible… democracy or communism makes no difference, the system gets warped.

          However it's when one of those people gets it in their head that they are superior above all else (Trump or Putin take your pick), and they make decisions to better only themselves and their families/friends, that's when it turns really bad. It's that autocratic queen/hive workers mentality that wreaks it for everyone.

          Putin isn't doing this for the Russian People. He's doing it for his bed time dreams and to try and sleep better at night reminiscing about the olden days.
          It's his own irrational fear that the world for some reason wants Russia. NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE wants to invade Russia. The whole world seems to know that except Putin. There is nothing the world wants from Russia other than for them to keep to themselves and stop invading/threatening/cyber attacking to steal intellectual property (instead of actually being smart enough to develop it themselves).

          No one gives a crap about Russia, or China for that matter. If only they kept to themselves!!

        democracy? lol…

        plutocracy you mean?

        where the military industrial complex, fossil fuel lobbyists, billionaires, pharmaceutical companies, dictate policy and truly elect the president with the help of MSM

      One difference would be that the US did not make laws allowing them to throw journalists in prison for reporting what the in power government determines is fake news, causing many news agencies and journalists in the country to cease reporting until they really understood what that means. Or cutting off access to significant social media networks.

      I'm under no illusion that everything being reported is true and the amount of BS on social networks is ridiculous, but one government cuts off any non controlled information supply from their population, while the other doesn't and allows their population to make their own assessment

        Assange would like a word with you.

        • Domingo on 06/03/2022 - 19:52

          I'm not sure I'd equate the laws against leaking confidential/classified information to laws against standard journalism practices, but sure. I'd be more than happy to discuss Russia's media law with Assange.

          I mean, I'm sure he thinks that there is no war and Russia are simply conducting a 'special military operation', and that anyone who reports otherwise should be imprisoned too.
