1. Russia doesn't "believe" that -

At least the folks delivering the propaganda don't. A better description would be: "Russian media is pushing the narrative that..."
An example of missing the real story - that of media to create and push false narratives (which some networks do here - of course).

6. I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

It's part of their culture, history, and worldview. It wouldn't surprise me if they find other worldviews incomprehensible.

2. They don't believe it.

They are trying to convince their population of it

4. I don't believe Russia believes that

It's merely another narrative they're trying to sell to justify their actions.

Beware the false meme-makers.

This is for the Russian population, the majority of whom support the invasion and Putin's lies. Russia (the leadership) consistently portrays itself as a victim of the nefarious West.

Another round of plate-spinning to coverup the butchery on the ground.

Putin and his thugs belong in Hell.

5. It's a damn lie. No one wants a border with Russia. That county is

a horrible neighbor.
