I do not parrott that and I indeed say since years it is no state. But I also say:
1. it should
never be a state
2. it nevertehless poses as if it were a st5ate already,
3. its defenders want it to become a state.

Then those headlines with UK flags everywhere and all those poor EU sods with badly photoshopped tears in their eyes:
"Gloves are off"
"Brexit victory"
"EU stunned"
"SNP Shock"
"There will be war"
(Macron) "We've overstepped"
(Macron) "We'll go bankrupt"
(Heroic Boris Johnson in victory pose) "That's why we left"
(von der Leyen) "THE END"
I understand how especially the last one suits your general view of the world, but seriously  At least Lavrov's lapdogs can be happy, they sure found some believers here.

Yes. And if you look back in this thread when Jim started to post these videos, you will find some now older post by me that AFAIK was the first time a board member mentioned and sceptically asked about the dubious source of these videos. To me it probably is Russia. But proven that is not. Its just a defendable hypothesis.
The video's content however is - tricky. Formally, verbally, the claims are objective fact reports. Quotes given have been said for sure, events happened, no obvious lies are being told, as far as I noticed at least. Still, the robot-generated voice, the repetitiveness of the same quotes being given several times, the endless repetions at times, make it dubious.
Thats why I say: Russian-made. Its a speciality of theirs to hide behind obvious truths given that cannot be denied. Normally, they would mix in untruths into it, here they resist to opening that vulnerable flank - because they do not need to to nevertehless get the obvious effect.
Means: they must no invent and fabricate untrue truths here. The EU does their job of ridiculing it for them all by itself, by its deeds and statements and policies. Its like fighting against an enemy that keeps on slapping his own face. Never stop an enemy doing that!
The purpose of the video probably is propagandistic. But the content, if literally taken, is not - it simply is true.
Very clever warfare at work here. They just should get rid of that robot voice and the too excessive repetitions, then it would be perfect.
