SCBills Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Doc said: Well is the reporting, even if false, can do anything, it's sway public opinion and give hope to those fighting. The more losses Russia appears to take and the more Ukrainians appear to fight back, the harder Ukrainians will fight, maybe Russians will fight less, and the more support they are getting worldwide. So it’s a psyop.. Sorry, I want accurate reporting. How are you not sick and tired of media manipulating the public? We’re taking Ukraine at their word for everything, and it’s resulted in three days of unconfirmed and/or now provably false reporting. Its now clear to me that this war is being played out worldwide via media manipulation. Again, Russia is no sympathetic figure, but I’d rather believe… for once in my adult life… that I’m not being lied to all the time by these propagandists.

Going with the former. Zelensky is now an international hero, France and Germany look like fools, and Europe is taking action aligned with the policies of the United States. Thats...exactly the opposite of what Putin was going for. Totally agree that there's a ton of propaganda spinning around out there. I'm boiling it down to the very basics. Those are that the Russians want to defeat Ukraine, and haven't, and that means taking Kyiv, and they haven't done that either. Everything else I'll leave to the historians 20 years from now.

Literally everything I've seen reporting on the Ghost has said it's probably not real and just people crediting what their airforce has done as a whole to one plane. This kind of thing happens in every war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many more times NATO could have said NATO isn't going to commit troops, but I don't expect the Russians trust us much either, because Putin is nuts and thinks all of Europe are our puppets.

Manipulation can make you think you’re on the right side of history, when you are not. This likely isn’t that case, but Americans (manipulated by our government & media) thought we were doing the right thing in Iraq too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 24 minutes ago, Not at the table Karlos said: There's so many videos of Russian "soldiers" just standing around crying or being taken by a couple people with no resistance. One had a "soldier" call their parents back in Russia to say they've been captured and their parents didn't have a clue they were in Ukraine. It's all very weird. I haven’t seen these, but no civilized army can kill like the US. It’s been long said that even Russia is very jealous of how America trains their troops. Only jihadists can compete with the unforgiving violence the American army is capable of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
