Clearly the insider was taken over by russian shills between the 15th and the 31st
Australia? More like South Russia!
Still cheaper than Sochi
pudin propaganda machine went to far 😞
I promise that Russia will lose the war tomorrow.
My anonymous sources say that Russia is running out of ammo any day now and Russian military morale is on a brink of collapse. We just have to send another 100 billion or so there, and everything will come up Milhouse!
The Ghost of Kyiv was refueling for 15 days
“refueling”
The “make up random crap and hope it’s true (usually it isn’t)” school of military intelligence
It’s basically the same tactic Trump popularized in US politics. You just throw out a bunch of bullshit, and people who want to believe it are going to believe it. Nobody is going to keep track of whether any of it was true.
Wdym trump, hasn’t it always been the case?
The political norm prior to Trump has been to lie in more subtle ways such as lying by omissions or misrepresenting thing. There’s been this notion that there should be some plausible deniability of the lie if it is ever called out. Trump showed that it doesn’t actually matter whether the lie is blatant or not. Turns out that what matters to people is hearing a narrative that resonates with them.
I think that another interesting outcome from this was that it helped erode faith in the establishment. People in the mainstream would point to official and credible sources as proof of incorrect claims expecting that this would convince people that Trump’s statements were lies. However, what actually happened was that people started getting increasingly angry at the mainstream sources and stopped believing in their validity.
This is why I accept that tanks are best at deflecting bullets and firing shells.* Much better than asking them for advice.
*When they’re made properly, anyway. Not those western sardine tins.
Putler couping newspapers and governments since 2000. 🙃
Quite a turn-around!
