I think you're right about the information war kool-aid. If you look at everything in Western outlets from CNN to Funker530, you would think the Ukrainians are standing toe-to-toe and that the invasion is super sloppy.
- dirtyid 5y agoGhost of Kyiv, Snake Island, recapturing of Hostomel, downing of 2 IL76s full of paratroopers, death of Magomed Tushaev, UKR leading K:D ratios like war is videogame... unending stream of fake memes and unverified suspicious allegations to push narrative that sloppy invasion = end of Putin, when we're only 4 days in and it doesn't appear RU has taken gloves off. Feels like the information war is currently hotter than the real one, similar to the insane amount of biased coverage for the HK/Belarus protests received in western media, but at the end of the day, I surmise we'll find out shitposts that instills false confidence don't mean much in a shooting war, because ultimately, "power is power".
