    Stop utilizing animals for war propaganda. There are lots of animals on both sides and they are all victims of what humans are doing.

      Usually dogs and cats are just there. Hungry and lonely, abandoned by their owners or having no alive owners. Between feeding and not feeding such pets soldiers choose the first one. And the pets start living with the soldiers. Then the soldiers make photos of their new pets. So, it’s not propaganda.

      And there’s an important correction: animals are victims of what Russians are doing.

        You are obviously not able to get on the meta perspective here, that is clear after your comment - so discussing with you would be a waste of time …

        Hypocrite! I checked your account history and found that you have been regularly posting Ukrainian war propaganda. Stop pretending, it´s simply ridiculous. Blocked you for being a liar and a shill.

          You would think if I was trying to make a propaganda campaign out of something I wouldn’t have freely admitted to finding them in my ‘Ukrainian War’ folder, and would have more than three to share. But have it your way - useful idiots always do.

          Huh. If I’d known Ukrainian cat pics were such a vital part of the war effort, I would’ve saved more to share.

          Comment wouldn’t change. This community is about cats, if it was a Russian dude holding one I could care less.

          We are here, because cat go brrrrr

        It is much more than that. It is very obviously an attempt to use cute animals to raise sympathy for the Ukrainian Army. Everybody likes pictures of cute animals so that is being exploited. For months hundreds of pictures like this have been posted on reddit systematically. If you don´t see the pattern and think that is not an organized propaganda campaign you are simply being naive.

          As long as it damages any Russian efforts to justify their unilateral genocide… Bring on the cat pics.

            “I support fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian.”

            “It’s such a relief that I can finally channel my racism in a socially-acceptable way now that we are in a proxy war with Russia. Orc orc orc.”

            I honestly believe no reasonable person thinks that reacting to expansionism by trade agreements and diplomacy with counter expansionism by war is justified. If someone is misguided enough to believes it is, cat pictures will probably not help.

          “Organized propaganda campaign”

          My guy hanging with animals, pets or former strays, is what bored soldiers do, all the way back to antiquity. Or at least is one of the more family-friendly things bored soldiers do.

            Nothing wrong with that, I have respect for everyone who is taking care of animals in horrible situations as war. Using photos of it for means of propaganda is a whole different topic though.

                You are hallucinating. I never wrote anything like that. Please quote where I did (hint: you can´t because there is no such statement from me)
