Since Kuleba is no longer Ukraine’s foreign minister, he has been speaking with an alarmingly blunt honesty. This time, without batting an eye, he said— as if it were the most natural thing in the world — that in Europe every “sensible person” is preparing for war with Russia.
Well, it’s clear that Kuleba and I mean very different things by “common sense.” Anyone with sense does not want war. And anyone who does not want war votes for Fidesz!
Are we the ones spreading fear? Then take a look at what the former Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, is saying about what is going to happen on the battlefield.
🔴 1️⃣ “Former foreign minister, therefore he tells the truth” – authority laundering
Key sentence:
“Since Kuleba is no longer Ukraine’s foreign minister, he now speaks with disturbingly blunt honesty.”
👉 The trick:
former position = liberated truth-teller
❌ What is deliberately left out:
Dmytro Kuleba is still:
- a Ukrainian political actor
- an active shaper of narratives
- a party with a direct stake in the war
📌 This is not independent analysis, but a strategic message driven by interests.
🔴 2️⃣ “Every sane person is preparing for war” – distortion of concepts
Quoted claim:
“In Europe, every ‘sane person’ is preparing for war with Russia.”
👉 Communicative sleight of hand:
- “preparing” ≠ “wanting war”
- military planning ≠ political intent
📌 What Alexa deliberately conflates:
- deterrence
- defensive planning
- military aggression
This is a classic false equivalence.
🔴 3️⃣ Moral blackmail: sane = pro-war
Core framing:
“If you are sane, you are preparing for war.”
👉 This is a cognitive trap:
- if you disagree → “you’re not sane”
- if you want peace → “you’re naive / dangerous”
📌 This is not debate, but exclusion from normality.
🔴 4️⃣ “We are not fearmongering” – while doing exactly that
Statement:
“We’re not fearmongering — just look at what the former foreign minister says…”
👉 Classic projection:
- they point to an external source
- but they select it
- they reinterpret it
- they tie it to the election
📌 This is not information — it is directed fear-mongering.
🔴 5️⃣ Electoral blackmail: peace = Fidesz
Closing line:
“Anyone who doesn’t want war votes for Fidesz!”
👉 This is open political manipulation:
- complex geopolitics → one party
- peace = vote
- criticism = pro-war stance
📌 This is not an argument, but an ultimatum.
🎯 The big picture — what is actually happening?
Statements by an interested actor are:
- taken out of context
- reframed
- emotionally weaponized
- turned into an electoral tool
👉 And meanwhile they claim:
“we are not fearmongering.”
This is pure propaganda, not a difference of opinion.
