I’d never question Russian intelligence Or military capabilities. Nothing they say can be taken at face value, nothing they do can either. These guys are chess masters, after all. I don’t want to make it sound, and any way that I like these assholes, I mean Fuck Putin. These pricks are incapable of even understanding decent human behavior, and have spread so many lies that I’m pretty convinced they have lost grip on reality and truth. That having been said, everything about this illegal Ukraine invasion is tainted with spy games and propaganda. Dead “civilians”? Targeting Samsung? Inaccurate weapons? I don’t buy any of it. When it comes to this conflict, it’s a matter of faith: do you think The Nations who stand against (that asshole) Putin are good and justified? If so, then just keep the faith and don’t trust what you read. The alternative is to subject yourself to a carnival ride of fake news and lies that will leave your head spinning.

I'm curious, why don't you buy that there are civilian casualties from missiles striking major conurbations?

  From grandparent: "I don’t buy any of it. When it comes to this conflict, it’s a matter of faith: do you think The Nations who stand against (that asshole) Putin are good and justified?

Old tactic from Goebbels, spread lies and facts evenly, so that no one believes ANY facts from any side anymore, people are effectively demoralised. You can see the effect of that tactics in vonwoodson's and many others' posts. Maybe we will have antidote for that after this war, but I doubt it.

    Just like Goebbels found out, and these guys will find out too, this only works if the audience is not deeply interested in the subject. For someone interested, the perpetrator only looks foolish. And Ukraine is doing a great job of keeping the worldwide people interested and on their side .
