1 | USA Makes Kremlin Propaganda Easy, Again | Nohamorain'i Etazonia Indray Ny Fanaovan'i Kremlin Propagandy |
2 | Rake's progress. | fandroson'ny fihogon-tany. |

4 | “There are no American mercenaries in #Ukraine, it's all #Kremlin lies and propaganda” tweeted [ru] the US State Department's official Ukraine Twitter account recently, prompting Russian journalist and emigre Oleg Kashin to ask [ru] if it is possible that anyone would be convinced by such a statement. | “Tsy misy mersenera Amerikana any #Ukraine, laingan'i #Kremlin sy propagandiny daholo izany rehetra izany” hoy ny tsiokan'ny [ru] departemantam-panjakana Amerikana tao amin'ny kaontiny ofisialy vao haingana, nampiontana ilay Rosiana nifindra monina mpanoratra an-gazety Oleg Kashin hanontany [ru] raha azo heverina ho misy resy lahatra amin'izany fanambarana izany. |
5 | Indeed, by responding to every single internet troll with renunciations, US foreign officials risk looking shrill and shifty. | Raha mamaly ny fanaratsiana rehetra ao amin'ny aterineto ny manampahefanan'i Etazonia dia tahaka ny marikivy jerena sy resy tondromaso. |
6 | Perhaps this is why they have ignored the most recent conspiracy theory making the rounds on RuNet. | Angamba izany no mahatonga an-dry zareo ho tsy mahalala ny teorian'ny tsikombakomba nivezivezy tao amin'ny RuNet. |
7 | The silence would be a welcome respite from the failures of US diplomacy to connect with ordinary Russians [Global Voices report], if the reason for the conspiracy theory wasn't such a glaring failure in the first place. | Tsara kokoa ny naka fahanginana kely taorian'ny tsy fahombiazan'ny diplaomasian'i Etazonia tamin'ny fifandraisana tamin'ny Rosiana olotsotra [tatitra Global Voices amin'ny teny malagasy], rehefa tojo tsy fahombiazana miharihary tahaka izao ny teorian'ny tsikombakomba. |
8 | It was Twitter user @Dikuschka who first drew attention [ru] to a US Government “request for a proposal” [ru] for the reconstruction of a Ukrainian school last fall. | Ilay mpisera Twitter @Dikuschka no voalohany nisarika ny fifantohana [ru] tamin'ny “fangatahana hanao tolotra” [ru] fananganana sekoly Okraniana iray nataon'ny governemantan'i Etazonia nandritra ny fotoanan'ny mihintsan-dravina farany teo. |
9 | No big deal, except that the school in question is in Sevastopol, home to Russia's Black Sea naval base. | Tsy dia misy inona loatra, ankoatra ny hoe io sekoly resahina io dia any Sevastopol, misy ny tobin-tafika an-dranomasin'i Rosia ao amin'ny ranomasina mainty. |
10 | And the request came from the US Navy's Facilities Engineering Command. | Ary ny fangatahana dia avy amin'ny Komandin'ny Jenia Miaramilan'i US Navy. |
11 | The combination certainly sounds suspicious, and it was easy enough for pro-Kremlin twitter [ru] users [ru] to turn what looks to be actually a school reconstruction under the auspices of US European Command's Humanitarian Assistance program, into the “construction of a US Naval base.” | Mampiahiahy tokoa izany fitambaran-javatra izany, ary ampy ho an'ny mpisera [ru] twitter [ru] pro-Kremlin ny mamadika mora ny fananganana indray ny sekoly iray eo ambany fandaharan'asam-panampiana mahaolona an'ny komandin'i Etazonia ao Eoropa, ho “fananganana ny tobin-tafika an-dranomasina Etazonia.” |
12 | The meme spread through RuNet, via humor websites like Pikabu [ru], newspapers like Komsomolskaya Pravda [ru], and even the (fake) Twitter account of Crimea's leader Sergey Aksyonov (the account is currently suspended). | Nanavatsava ny RuNet ny kisarisarim-pampihomehezana, nandalo ny haba-tranonkalam-pampihomehy tahaka ny Pikabu [ru], gazety tahaka ny Komsomolskaya Pravda [ru], eny fa na dia ny kaonty Twitter (hosoka) an'ny mpitarika an'i Krimea Sergey Aksyonov aza (naato moa io kaonty io amin'izao fotoana izao). |
13 | The idea that the US Navy is simply doggedly pursuing a sometimes awkward policy of winning “hearts and minds,” without regard for how it might look, will probably fall on deaf ears for most Russians. | Angamba hitontona any amin'ny sofina marenin'ny ankamaroan'ny Rosiana ny fihevitra fa manatontosa politika mikaviavia te-hahazo “fo sy saina”, tsy ijerana izay mety ho endriny ny US Navy. |
14 | (Simply imagine Russia remodeling schools near US Marine Corps fatalities on Okinawa.) | (Eritereto fotsiny hoe i Rosia manamboatra indray sekoly eo akaikin'ny fatin'ny Tafika an-dranomasin'i Etazonia any Okinawa.) |
15 | Komsomolskaya Pravda cited a source from Russia's Black Sea fleet command, saying “I don't think that the US Navy would give out money to reconstruct a Sevastopol school just because, what would be the point?” | Ny Komsomolskaya Pravda nanonona loharanom-baovao avy amin'ny komandin'andian-tsambon'i Rosia ao amin'ny Ranomasina Mainty, miteny hoe “Tsy azoko ny hanomezan'ny US Navy vola hananganana indray sekoly iray ao Sevastopol amin'izao fotsiny, inona no kendreny?” |
16 | A post [ru] at the VKontakte group “Antimaidan-Berkut” proposed that rather than building military facilities outright, the reconstruction would prepare the school for the children of US servicemen who would be stationed at such hypothetical military facilities. | Misy lahatsoratra [ru] ao amin'ny vondrona VKontakte “Antimaidan-Berkut” nanolo-kevitra fa raha tsy nanangana fotodrafitrasa ara-miaramila madiorano fotsiny amin'izao, ny fananganana indray ilay sekoly dia ny hanaovana azy ho an'ny zanaky ny Amerikana mpiasa mamita iraka izay mety hitoby amin'ny fotodrafitrasa ara-miaramila tsy mbola azo antoka ny hijoroany. |
17 | The request for proposal, with an estimated cost of remodeling Sevastopol School #5 between $200 and $500 thousand, is still up on the Federal Business Opportunities website. | Ny fangatahana hanao tolotra izay tombanana hanomezana endrika vaovao indray ny sekoly #5 ao Sevastopol, anelanelan'ny tetibola $200.000 ka hatramin'ny $500.000 dia mbola ao amin'ny haba-tranonkalan'ny Federal Business Opportunities. |
18 | On April 15, 2014, however, it was canceled, “due to the current climate in Ukraine.” | Tamin'ny 15 Avrily 2014, anefa, dia nofoanana izany, “noho ny toe-draharaha misy any Okraina amin'izao fotoana izao.” |
