It is obvious what Putin is/has been doing. Are Russians so gullible that they believe Putin is there to “protect/rescue” Russians in Ukraine?
People believe what they want to believe. Russians have an inferiority complex and express it by showing their strength against weak targets. Good propaganda doesn’t just lie and tell half truths, it tells people what they think should be the truth.
“...so gullible that they believe Putin is there to protect/rescue Russians in Ukraine...”
Probably as gullible as half of this country screaming “HOPE! CHANGE!!! HOPE!!! CHANGE!!!” and “SI SE PUEDE!” back in 08 and 012.
I can see it.
