Banning russian news sites in the west is a good idea?

Nah, it's incomplete horseshit. gazeta.ru works here (Colorado USA) but not Lenta.
The salient thing about this thread is how it shows that barbos has been conditioned to pretend that there's an actual entity called the West that acts in lockstep against Russian interests.

So, exactly how are Russianpublicans supposed to get their news now? Thanks a lot economic sanctions for an unjustified invasion!
Pretty certain Tucker has a secure line to the Kremlin. This kerfuffle is nothing more than a speed hump. I'm still skeptical it was a concerted malicious attack though.

These Ukrainians say their Russian relatives only trust the narratives they see on TV at home.

https://www.gazeta.ru/ -- loads something that looks like a news site, but I don't know Russian.
lenta.ru -- trace dies after reaching the background. I can load it from the Netherlands, didn't try elsewhere.

In other words, it's what we see so often with the right--can't tell the difference between free speech and having to bring your own soapbox. Things like RT have problems because western business doesn't want to deal with them. That's not the same thing as blocking access to them.
Know what's really bugging me about that video? Ignorance of what leadership is actually doing is likely happening in most countries.

My thought is "who fed barbos all this bullshit?"
What he thinks, is not true.

Like Trumpsuckers hooked on FOX Nooz and Breitbart, except these Russians don't have a choice!

You keep posting long after I (myself, without any help from you) explained this "ban" which it is not. You people are useless.

In all countries. Plus they select only these replies which suits their narrative and ignore the ones which does not. But yeah, russians are as ignorant as the rest. The difference is, unlike you (especially Americans) they know they are.
French TV channel asked a wrong ukrainian.
It's translated in russian but in the end it shows reddit comments which give you an idea what she was talking about. I am surprised they did not cut her off.

«Хотят бассейны и бесплатные рестораны»: молдаване о беженцах с Украины — видео: EADaily
Украинские беженцы, прибывшие в Молдавию, жалуются, что в некоторых отелях не работают бассейны. В ресторанах они предъявляют паспорта граждан Украины и требуют бесплатного обслуживания
Some Moldovans have had enough with ukrainain refugees already.
It was not enough for ukrainians to ban russian in Ukraine, they now want to ban it in Moldova.

Waaaah!
Maybe Russian belongs ... in RUSSIA??
Especially now that their dictator has made an international pariah out of himself, shown the Russian military to be incompetent and made the entire country simultaneously a laughingstock and a global threat, and has turned its citizens into an object of pity. Who wants to adopt them now? Nobody.
On the brighter side, the rest of the world (minus NK and a few others) has been united - probably like never before - against Pootey's cruel foolishness. NATO wannabe countries now include Finland and Sweden, right on the Russian doorstep. Good job, Pootey!
