- chrisco255 4y agoLol, nice try, A for effort.
- pohl 4y agoI hope we're not twisting the definition of weapon to include propaganda Spoken like someone who hasn't been following Putin's actions against western democracies. We should absolutely include propaganda. There are other ways of distinguishing the context in which the propaganda is used, such as the distinction between hot and cold wars.
