"Z" and Mullahs united #IranProtests

I have already seen several profiles spreading pro-Iranian disinfo/conspiracy theories alongside Russian propaganda.

They fantasize about a "US coup", as if these brave women don't have every reason to fight for their rights and freedom. 🧵
The goal is to discredit the movement that supports the protesters: "It is another color revolution staged by the CIA and the Zionists" or "the protesters we see in Western countries are Jews and not real Iranians."

Anti-Semitism is a constant part of the narrative
Iran is an ally of Russia and also a weapon supplier during the war against Ukraine. Rallies by Iranian civil society in support of Ukraine were suppressed by the Mullah regime. Russian press agencies are spreading the view of the Iranian regime about the protests...
"Mass protest AGAINST the riots":

"according to the IRNA news agency, many people marched in protest against the riots, expressing their disagreement with the actions of the organizers of the anti-social actions and the rioters themselves."

In Österreich ist das Z Symbol noch immer straffrei, ich habe hier zB eine Person bei einer Querdenker-Demo mit "Z" T-Shirt gesehen, ein ukrainischer Journalist berichtete. @ReinholdLopatka

Das Z kann auch keine andere Bedeutung gehabt haben, weil darunter auch noch steht "Armija Rossija", also "Russische Armee". Image
Ich hab mich bereits im März bezüglich einer gesetzlichen Handhabe gegen Z-Kriegspropanda angefragt, bisher aber ohne Erfolg. Danke aber nochmal an die @Stadt_Wien für sie Entfernung von Z Symbolen, in der Leopoldstadt war ein ganzer Hof damit beschmiert, wurde alles übermalt.

Some observations, I can't say exactly to what extent they influence the discourse.🧵

1) "Eastern Europe experts" are usually focused on Russia's affairs. Sometimes they have even adopted Russian points of view, but even a bigger problem is, that they have rarely studied Ukraine
2)
The myth of "Moscow's legitimate sphere of influence": people socialized in the Cold War era are grateful that the nuclear threat from the USSR is gone, that the Berlin Wall has fallen, but they do not have much empathy for the countries that regained independence in 1991.
That applies even to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, EU memberstates since almost 20 years. Even so called historians or "experts" ignore their experiences and expertise as "based on their history", and "not objective", or not "up to date".

Putin's speech disinformation & propaganda 🧵

He implies again that people were not allowed to speak Russian in Ukraine. Putin claims the borders after 1991 were random, people were not asked. This is also false. Referenda in 1991 were recognized by the international community.
He asks for a minute of silence for Sachartchenko and Arsen Pavlov. Arsen Pavlov was a war criminal from Moscow and leader of the ultranationalist Bataillon Sparta. Sachartchenko once said, "we should conquer Kyiv, Berlin, England and restore the borders of the Russian Empire".
Putin speaks about sovereign nations (implies that EU/NATO countries are not sovereign nations). In reality of course, Russia does not accept sovereign nations in his neighborhood.

Kuriose Querfrontdemo in Wien: Linke Splittergruppen, MFG, "Friedensbewegte", Russlandaktivisten.

Tenor: "Plandemie", "böser Hygienestaat", raus mit den Sanktionen, "Frieden mit Russland", Alternativmedien statt "Systemhetze", böser Westen/Nato/EU hat Russland attackiert🧵 Image
Es wurde betrauert, dass es KenFM und RT so schwer gemacht wird. Menschen ohne Maske, gegen Waffenlieferungen und Sanktionen und gegen die Impfung würden diskriminiert werden...
Wir würden an Zensur leiden, nicht sie Wahrheit zur Ukraine erfahren.
Wieder wird eine völlig verdrehte Sicht der letzten 8 Jahre verbreitet, "wir brauchen Frieden und Freundschaft mit Russland", die "USA erlaubt es aber nicht".

Der Mythos um die österreichische Neutralität ist ein Verstärker für die Verbreitung von Äquidistanz zu autoritären Regimes und demokratischen Staaten. Er macht Österreich auch anfälliger für russische Desinformation.🧵
Ich beobachte seit 2014 auch intensiv wie sich antiwestliche Positionen speziell ganz rechts wie auch ganz links und teilweise auch in der Mitte in Österreich besonders gut verbreiten. "wir haben immer gut mit Russland gekonnt, es gibt immer zwei Seiten, wir müssen neutral sein".
Ein Mythos unserer Neutralität ist die daraus resultierende moralische Überlegenheit.Dabei ist genau das Gegenteil der Fall: Russland will die Ukraine vernichten, als Kultur und Staat auslöschen, begeht massive Kriegsverbrechen, trotzdem suchen Neutralitätsanhänge den "Ausgleich"
