Schwarzenegger addresses Russian people

Arnold Schwarzenegger's anti-war video trends on Russian social media

Writing on the Telegram app, opposition politician Lev Shlosberg said it had been filmed "with respect towards us, Russian people".

"Arnold Schwarzenegger has a unique ability to talk to anyone with persuasion, respect and on equal terms. Wits, power and justice. Have a listen. Think about it. Understand," Mr Shlosberg said.

Also on Telegram, liberal journalist Anton Orekh said his message contained no "Russophobia".

"We are outcasts in the world.. Arnold is one of the few people who addressed Russians not as savage orcs, but as good people who have lost their ways," Mr Orekh said.

Nah- the script is terrible, the plot is transparent and the director must be a Ukrainian.

Yeah, you would say that. You are a Putin apologist and want Rusia to take over Ukraine and not stop there.

No- I want Ukraine to capitulate, de-Nazify itself, tell NATO to quit interfering and the Russians to go home.

Incorrect.

Arnold is the first American I have seen address Russia in a genuine, heart felt, and measured way... keeping Russophobia out of it, but also being honest and realistic. That takes some skill, awareness, and charisma that is generally not found on this forum or in American media or punditry at large

It's an effective propaganda piece. (probably why Moon hates it)

Critics almost always disagree.

I think what makes it effective is that it's not propaganda.
It is genuine, direct, and truthful, while being extremely respectful of and empathetic towards his intended audience.

Oh yeah. True. That's the best kind of propaganda. (I liked how he had his California Flag Patch on one shoulder and American Flag Patch on the other shoulder ... along with that fucking 'coffee cup') Who's the Set Designer? Get that guys name!
