We can't ignore the 50+ years of lies about various conflicts around the world and the coups/ assassinations where the public was purposely misled. This isn't new and ridiculing the observation is unproductive. Ignore history at your own peril.
I will say, Russia has probably increased their forces at this point but it may not be as much as claimed by the DOD.
- raducu 5y agoAnd for what reason would Russia commit so few troops? Other than explaining away russian embarrasment of the way things are going.
