How NAFO let a Putin propagandist face the open knife

There once was a man who called himself “Johnny Miller” and claimed to be a serious “journalist.” In fact, the Briton is a Putin propagandist who, among other things, downplays Russian war crimes and denigrates Ukraine and the West on the online platform X.

Johnny works for the Iranian foreign state television called “Press-TV”, which is banned in Europe. As is known, the mullahs’ regime is an important partner for Putin. It supplies the Russians with, among other things, the Shahed killer drone, which is used to terrorize the Ukrainian civilian population. And it allows Russian propaganda to spread one-on-one.

The Ukrainian attack

Then Johnny was in the wrong place at the wrong time: on the Russian-occupied Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, in the city of Sevastopol. On the same day, Ukraine carried out a devastating missile attack on the orders of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. As it turned out, dozens of senior officers were killed in the targeted bombings.

The troll attack

The Internet collective NAFO sees itself as a pro-Ukrainian defense alliance on the Internet. The volunteers have made a name for themselves with brutal troll attacks and have become the terror of Western Putin supporters. And of course the “Fellas”, as the NAFO members call themselves, wanted to take advantage of this special opportunity…

Another X user thanked Johnny.

Another NAFO member noted that they pray that the Russian secret service, the FSB, does not find Johnny and deprive him of his passport and the ability to travel back to the West, where he will receive “a hero’s welcome.”

And then there were the ironic NAFO posts, which referred to the very good secret service training that Johnny had received with the British secret service MI6 or the American CIA. This was an allusion to the suspicion that Putin propagandists have already expressed on several occasions that the Internet collective is secretly financed by the secret services.

At the diving station

After Johnny reported on the Sevastopol rocket attack in several eyewitness videos and provoked a lot of backlash with his posts, he apparently tried to smooth things over. Without success.

Then there was a noticeable silence around the Putin propagandist. His corresponding posts on X and Telegram disappeared and he published nothing more.

However, it was NAFO that did not remain silent.

And the obituaries were already loud.

Another NAFO member tweeted:

Of course, it cannot be assumed that the Russian secret services fell for NAFO and actually took Johnny out of circulation because they thought he was a Ukrainian double agent.

What is certain, however, is that there could soon be new film material for Putin propagandists in occupied Crimea. The Ukrainian partisans have already identified new, high-value targets for rocket attacks. Such as a fuel depot used by the military.
