Russia has its own alternative to Facebook. The social network VK, which has been operating since 2006 and (according to Wikipedia) has 96 million visitors per month. VK in Russia has always been more popular than Facebook. Facebook has been banned for officially allowing calls for Russian military to be killed. Their moderators did not delete such posts, it was their official position.

My cousin called my relatives in Poland. The Poles setting up for a war with Russia.
There is total medial blackout on the USA troop build up in Poland. We don't know if there is 100,000 or 250,000 USA troops in Poland preparing to attack Russia.
The lies the Western government are telling their citizens.
There is yet another opinion circulating out there, that is that Poland is trying to secure the former Polish territories - i.e. the Westernmost part of Ukraine.
To which my response is...
GO FOR IT))))
( Just proceed with caution - don't forget to give some territories back to Hungary, with the native Hungarian population.)
The Ukrainian nationalists wanted to have their Nationalist state - let them have it.
With Russia taking its historic territories back, Poland taking hers, Hungary taking what's theirs, and while we are at that - let's not forget Romania.
I will never forget what my grandmother told me back in the 70ies, when she had to travel to Lvov because of her job ( she was one of the top specialists in her profession, so she had to travel extensively throughout the USSR)
But anyways, what she told me back then was "Lvov is beautiful, but it doesn't look/feels like Ukraine - it's Poland."
I had to travel extensively too later in life because of my job.
I didn't make it as far as Lvov, but Ternopol in Ukraine.
Which gave me a pretty good idea how different the Western part of it and South-Eastern parts were.
P.S. By the sound of it, NATO already refused to back up Polish plans.

Well, I agree NATO is a fatal waste of an "Organization". What clutter trash. The concept of EU is also foolish when Ukraine had to appear Pro-Soviet. Although, I am strongly on Ukraine's own side only(GOD BLESS UKRAINE), and can't wait until there is a permanent ceasefire. Returning back to stability. How wonderful that is to visit Russia, Belarus, Ukraine just some years later. If the tension doesn't escalate even further than this.

Because she hates the conservatives apparently.
What I find ironic all along, is that it's mostly the left-wingers in America, that unequivocally support the Ukrainian Nationalists, that are the ultra-right force.
What lies? This news was posted publicly on Feb 17:
Manufactured indignation over imagined "lies."
It's not an USA news site. It's Canadian.
Two minutes ago, I search google for "USA troop build up in Ukraine as of today". All the articles were from early February.
Normally, during Iraq and Afghanistan, there are independent reporters embedded with USA troops.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Reporters covering the Pentagon and U.S. military are protesting what they say is a refusal to allow access to the approximately 3,000 U.S. troops being deployed in Europe in response to rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Beginning in the 1991 Gulf War, American journalists were assembled in press pools. But reporters were often kept far from action, and their material was often reviewed by the government before it aired, with graphics appearing on screen to say the content had been censored.
The "embed program," as it's now known by modern journalists was adopted by George H.W. Bush's administration. The Defense Department wanted to help the public understand what the military was doing leading up to the invasion of Iraq, and thought embedding journalists with fighting military units would help with public opinion behind the war effort. Journalists would be able to join troops in ground attacks and other action, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press stated in 2001 when the Bush administration was considering the program.
. . . . Jump down to . . . . . .
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby, who is the top public affairs official for the Defense Department, is the person charged with the decision to allow embedded reporters.
"I'm the one responsible for decisions that are made about media access to our operations and to our people," he said earlier this week. "So, to paraphrase the famous Harry S. Truman, the buck stops with me on this."
Kirby said Wednesday the Pentagon was still working through the request. He told reporters he's heard them and respects the request, but said the department can't provide access at this time. Kirby told reporters in Wednesday's Pentagon briefing that any decision to provide media access to troops, or to withhold access from troops, is a "decision that we take seriously."
