I haven’t seen the film and don’t intent to watch it. It is it Russian Propaganda? I thought Oliver Stone is an American. No, we are not obligated to show Russian propaganda in network television.

He may be an American but it sure sounds like he's on the payroll of the Kremlin. His son works for RT ever since 2015 and he has neatly parroted most Kremlin talking points regarding Ukraine up until the war itself.
