I guess sanctions are hitting home. Good work!

Must be working.

UnicornDelta · 2023-06-15T07:20:52+00:00

This one is actually pretty funny, and well made. Don’t have to agree with the message to enjoy it.

Saurier51 · 2023-06-15T07:01:51+00:00

Simonyan, sanctions are working just fine. It's your war of aggression that is futile.

crs1138-1 · 2023-06-15T07:17:19+00:00

Why should anyone care about RT?

WiKAi · 2023-06-15T07:24:36+00:00

If the sanctions weren't biting they wouldn't be caring.
This is confirmation that they are.

exceptional_biped · 2023-06-15T07:18:13+00:00

They wouldn’t feel the need to put this out if the sanctions weren’t working. Sorry russia, the collective West isn’t as stupid as you think. Keep trying though because it brings a lot of laughs.

Glydyr · 2023-06-15T07:24:18+00:00

‘Made in Russia…by zombies, for zombies’

real_3d4 · 2023-06-15T07:14:01+00:00

Thank you for the entertainment you drunk ass bitch...

iamnotaspy_either · 2023-06-15T07:30:11+00:00

I had a friend visit Spain recently. She said it's so great that there are no Russians anywhere.

That's a pretty nice side effect from all those sanctions

DesrAw · 2023-06-15T07:32:35+00:00

That's actually quite funny.

NotVeryCashMoneyMod · 2023-06-15T07:46:58+00:00

cute video. you're still going to die but cute video.

taftvalue · 2023-06-15T07:02:17+00:00

Ngl, that's actually hilarious.

IAmGoneWithTheWind · 2023-06-15T06:54:35+00:00

Watching this after a night out at the local bar hits differently

MaxDamage75 · 2023-06-15T07:24:32+00:00

I'm pretty sure they have asked some western studio to make it.
it's too good to be made in russia.

FancyCoolHwhip · 2023-06-15T07:45:45+00:00

When ruzzia release stuff like this you know it's really annoying them. Sanctions are crippling them

RedditSynkro · 2023-06-15T07:04:02+00:00

That is actually funny

Backward-windowlick · 2023-06-15T07:08:56+00:00

Actually quite good any funny. Best thing to come out of ruzzia for a while

Rapid_Ascending · 2023-06-15T07:17:56+00:00

Their propaganda is the same as their whole armed forces - certified dogshit.

TottalEnigma · 2023-06-15T07:07:01+00:00

Gotta give it to 'em - epic production - very funny.

True_Media8034 · 2023-06-15T07:15:47+00:00

This couldn't have been her. It's far too professional. Why would you take all this time and money to counteract measures that are having no affect? If they were indeed ineffective nobody in Russia would notice but they do, so there is an effect. The Russian Rouble is now rubble. 1 Rouble = 1 Cent (US) and falling all the time. At least this pathetic attempt gave me a smile but I won't say "Thank you".

Next_Assumption5722 · 2023-06-15T07:07:16+00:00

Well, they clearly don't know whats really coming. For now their anti-sanction shield is working, but just wait for what will happen after the war.
They can see only the end of their nose and they are on a route to crash into a pole

justreadingthat · 2023-06-15T07:28:57+00:00

It’s funny, I’ll give the murders that.

Bob_Rooney · 2023-06-15T07:32:42+00:00

I have deep fake pics of Margarita Simonyan

jeff43568 · 2023-06-15T07:48:27+00:00

I'm a little confused, are they suggesting that the west needs to do more than just sanctions? Is that what they really, really want? I mean, Russia is folding as is, asking more people to jump on you harder isn't going to help. Unless of course your goal is to be knocked out as quickly and cleanly as possible

ChancharaVSCipiripi · 2023-06-15T07:14:47+00:00

meanwhile there is a competition in the west who will give more

kryptonomicon · 2023-06-15T07:25:44+00:00

Hilarious and quite frankly dumb as fuck

DigitalXciD · 2023-06-15T07:38:46+00:00

Why would west set up sanctions that are only harming west? Let it sink a while, ruzis.. You can feel it huh? We can also, but we enjoy the feeling since its helping someone.

Siren_NL · 2023-06-15T07:41:54+00:00

So we need to sanction them to use of servers that can create this propaganda. I think it is strange we already block the chips but not access to the servers that run on those very same chips.

PinballChaCha · 2023-06-15T08:08:47+00:00

ngl the bit about the penguins made me chuckle

SimpleMaintenance433 · 2023-06-15T08:08:49+00:00

If sanctions are having no effect, why do they keep talking about them?

DowNeedles · 2023-06-15T08:16:00+00:00

With the bad quality of the deep fake yeah it look like the sanctions hurt pretty bad

Gloomfang_ · 2023-06-15T08:19:49+00:00

If the sanctions were futile they would not be constantly crying over them would they?

Rnr2000 · 2023-06-15T08:23:54+00:00

It is entertaining I will give them that, doesn’t change my support for Ukraine.

Going to miss those crazy Ivan’s when their country falls apart

Eraldorh · 2023-06-15T07:23:16+00:00

There's no way biden is ever that coherent when he speaks and there's no way he can pace up and down his office or bang his head against a wall without tripping over himself.

Zuchku · 2023-06-15T07:49:39+00:00

ngl I wish angry Ursula could step on me. 💀

1armeddrummer · 2023-06-15T07:00:16+00:00

this woman is just a joke, looks like a 45yo male mineworker - disgrace for all woman xD

mortrex · 2023-06-15T07:37:38+00:00

I'm convinced! I've got a better idea, F-35 jets for Ukraine!

SigInt-Samurai666 · 2023-06-15T07:02:15+00:00

She has no reason to lie…

schnukas · 2023-06-15T07:29:55+00:00

Tbh this is really funny tho

Zuma_NL · 2023-06-15T07:35:37+00:00

Fake but oké, this kind of humor is not too bad.

SaviourMK2 · 2023-06-15T07:51:56+00:00

Must be working if they're trying to mock it, if it didn't work they wouldn't bring it up

ToxicCooper · 2023-06-15T07:54:31+00:00

"The media was created using neural networks for the purpose of parody".... Am I the only one that saw that?

UnaVezCasiHiceUnGol · 2023-06-15T07:58:35+00:00

Lol cope harder putin

kogmaa · 2023-06-15T08:01:36+00:00

Makes you wonder what motivates the effort to make this. Don’t think it’s the pure entertainment value.

SaraGoldmann · 2023-06-15T08:13:07+00:00

Looks great. Unbelievable in what times we life.

I grew up without mobile phones and a low amount of traffic on streets and now computers make realistic movies..

austozi · 2023-06-15T08:14:38+00:00

Funny how she cared so much about some futile sanctions. Cared enough to make a deep fake video about them.

jaxsd75 · 2023-06-15T08:18:14+00:00

Where is she vacationing this summer again? LOL

Chudmont · 2023-06-15T08:19:38+00:00

Real cute, Margarita.

You won't be laughing at the Hague.

Ekki81 · 2023-06-15T08:20:41+00:00

Funny as hell 🤣

MiroslavHoudek · 2023-06-15T08:22:57+00:00

I wonder how many people in the west are thinking in terms "sanctions -> must be working" and not in terms of "Russia -> let's have nothing to do with it".

I personally don't care very much whether the sanctions are working, I just want our business with Russia cut off. I don't want any more French tank sights exported, even if it were not murdering Ukrainians anymore but instead some Africans mowed down by Wagner to get diamonds.

Trojan_fed · 2023-06-15T08:33:15+00:00

Maga would believe anything they put out. Lol

Suspicious-Appeal386 · 2023-06-15T08:35:00+00:00

If they don't work, why make this video?

notaredditreader · 2023-06-15T07:46:43+00:00

I think the guys at r/Conservative have been at the wrong cooler again.
