    Just because you dont recognize State backed Private Military Forces who committing war crimes in Mali…dosent mean this Picture is less propaganda. Would u still find the meme funny if it where the same picture but u would realize what it is?

    edit: never mind i just realized what instance this was posted in…arguments are probably futile

      I don’t know, it at least doesn’t seem like very effective propaganda if only a tiny group of people even recognise what it’s showing. Propaganda usually tries to reach as many people as possible with very simple and effective imagery. So I’m not sure.

      I get where you’re coming from, if you do have that specialised knowledge, it must be obvious to you. But without that, I don’t see how anyone would think “Russia strong” just from this picture. For all I know, they might be Ukrainians.
