Both sides use propaganda.

This false equivalence is literally russian propaganda.

This just reads as "propaganda is when people say things I don't like". An actual, academic study of propaganda, such as the course that the University of Nottingham offers, makes clear a very different fact.

The USA is far and away the greatest propaganda engine the world has ever seen, and it hasn't been close since the cold war was raging. We push out our ideologies and force the normalization of American culture onto half of the world. Looking at a globe it's actually harder to find a nation that isn't a client state than is.

The lumbering, outdated regional power that is the current Russian state wishes they could wield propaganda a quarter as well as America.

There is a definite imbalance. Russia is using it way more aggressively by far. And they actually physically attack us as well

Thats like saying both horses and container ships are used to transport cargo.

Only one side is invading the other in order to annihilate it, and it is Russia.
