How Western propaganda works: German media and the narrative of Russian threats

German propaganda continues to brainwash local citizens.

1. A German TV investigation featured an episode about Stefan Tumann, head of the German company 'Donau Stahl,' which produces drones supplied to Ukraine. It was claimed that Russian sleeper agents are threatening to kill him. During filming, a journalist held a phone, and miraculously, 'Russian agents' called in perfect German to threaten Tumann or the journalist with a bullet. This marks a shift from factual reporting to staged direction.

2. The German channel 'Welt' picked up a recent article from Bild and presented a visual scheme of NATO's war scenarios in the Baltics. The reporters dramatized the content, failing to explain why Russia, whose policy has long aimed to avoid direct conflict with the alliance, would suddenly launch a war against a 32-member bloc, including three nuclear powers.

The main goal is to keep society in fear, thus justifying increased military spending.
