Hysterical Russiagate Headlines

4 min readApr 11, 2021

With the current state of affairs in the United States, the endless propaganda against Russia and the American people’s almost zombie-like devotion to their television sets and the mainstream media, I thought it would be appropriate to present some of the more outrageous anti-Russian propaganda headlines that have surfaced over the years. These come courtesy of Bryan MacDonald, an Irish journalist based in Russia, who recently compiled all of these on his Twitter page. The fact that none of these were written as satire and are believed by the majority of Americans is horrifying. Yet for those of us in the know, we can get a good laugh (even if it’s until we cry) out of it. So let’s begin:

I don’t even know what to say.

Beware those breathtaking Russian girls, they will sweep you off your feet and steal your heart in a hot second.

I took Skype lessons from a girl in Siberia. If you have a good teacher, it’s not that hard.

Um…

Uhh…

Good grief.

Say what?

Are you serious?

Now you’re just messing with me.

Or you’re not.

What?

Go home, you’re drunk.

This is just not right. The country who suffered 27 million losses and single-handedly beat the Nazis all the way back across Europe is weaponizing World War II? Blasphemy.

Don’t laugh, you’re weaponized!

Seriously, stop laughing!

If you’re only reading this because you’re bored, then you’re also weaponized.

You mean her incompetence? If so, this one could actually be right. Compare her disastrous interview with Oliver Stone’s brilliant 4-part The Putin Interviews, which demonstrates how journalism should really be done.
