    • if you are not convinced that Russia blew up a farmer and a tractor in Poland
    • if you are not convinced that Ukraines summer offensive is going all that well
    • if you believe normal Russian people are not evil monsters
    • if you are not convinced that Putin ordered the downing of Prigozhins plane
