As the CBS channel manipulates facts. Parsing lies about "30% weapon" of Ukraine

To play Russia, voicing the narrative that "the event should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine" is not just a stupidity. It is dangerous to be a political analyst to understand that one of the strategies of war, which Russia is now embodied, is to influence Ukraine's support by Western allies. First of all, to freeze/slow down the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian army. Russia has already launched a campaign aimed at discrediting Ukraine as a partner, ally and the state as a whole.

Quite predictable. Just like the methods chosen by the Russians, to attract someone from the West, who would voice this narrative. Because we all know: if the next bullet is spoken by "representatives of the event", it adds more confidence in the message you are trying to sell the audience. The 23-minute TV reporting of the American TV channel CBS "We We We Room Ukraine"-one example of the promotion of narrative on the failure to provide Ukraine with weapons.

I will try to show how to create a supermanipulative product in seven steps. It would be harmful to Ukraine, which is on the verge of opportunities with Russia and loses its best people daily. Seven Steps of Manipulation Step # 1. Invite four speakers: head of a foreign volunteer organization, an expert in international politics, a US colonel resign and one of the human rights activists (spoiler: Amnesty International employee). Step # 2. Fent on one main character.

This report is Jonas Oman, the head of the NGO Blue and Yellow, and by the way, the only one of the four people I know personally. He will lead you to Donbass, telling you on the way that "how it really is. " In particular, Oman is one who gets unknown where the magical number "30%". Like, this is a percentage of western weapons that reach the ultimate goal in Ukraine. This implies that the remaining 70% are disappearing.

There is no confirmation, no explanation about where this figure came from at all, and what gives grounds for such applications. In general, nothing would indicate that this figure is real. This is called facts manipulation. Step # 3. Put the camera on the US officer retired. As a bad journalist, ask him "guidance" questions, for example, "could you call it a black hole?", Hinting at supplying weapons to Ukraine. Then get "yes" in response, which will confirm the assumption made by the speaker 1.

Step # 4. On background, let the geopolitical emerge from time to time. It will give your story more likely, bring an element of "expert evaluation". In addition, he also presents a narrative about "Ukraine, which is a puppet of the event", which will additionally strengthen your key message. Step # 5. Provide a word to human rights activists (in a reporting person from Amnesty International) to strengthen those messages that were previously articulated by speakers 1, 2 and 3. Step # 6.

Already add phrases that "weapons disappear in the black market - an industry that thrives against corruption in post -Soviet Ukraine. " Well, they all heard, this "post -Soviet Ukraine", there is always something about corruption . . . you do not need to explain or prove the accusation - the viewer is already believed. Step # 7. Now that you have the perfect combination of manipulation of facts, misinformation and Russian narratives, voiced by Western "experts", the final touch remains - add the name.

Voala, here's the finished: report and article called "Why military assistance to Ukraine does not always get to the front: about 30% reaches its destination. " Congratulations! You have just learned to create manipulative misleading materials in accordance with the rules of the Kremlin propaganda. And now, that's what I want to say to everyone involved in this "masterpiece" - both journalists and authors of ideas, and speakers: you all have to be responsible.

I do not have illusions that you are well aware of what you do and what will have the consequences for Ukraine. The life of people on the front line in Ukraine depends, among other things, on the supply of Western weapons. Straight and literally. Depend on the amount and type of weapons, stability of supply and trust level in Ukraine as a reliable partner.

The scheme is quite simple: the more weapons we receive (primarily RSSV and air defense), the more Russian warehouses of weapons and ammunition rise into the air, the more operating and tactical benefits Ukraine gets, the more lives to victory. This scheme is already working well, although it requires superhuman efforts that millions of Ukrainians make both in Ukraine and abroad, and, of course, the efforts of our allies - all who work on lobbying weapons.

This work is performed by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the General Staff, the Foreign Ministry, the means of cultural diplomacy, due to the publicity of millions of Ukrainians abroad, volunteers, during official and informal visits materials, lunches, public discussions, calls, informal conversations and more. This is a great and hard work. For five months we have been shouting into the universe: give us weapons so we can protect ourselves.

The result of this work is measured by blood and people's lives. We are at the epicenter of the most severe, modern international military conflict, and in fact - in the Civilization War, fighting against Russia, which is trying to destroy us. For example, me, my loved ones and friends on the forefront, my future family. All of us and Ukraine as a state. To play Russia, voicing the narrative that "the West has to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine" is not only stupidity, it is dangerous.
