Remember this "exclusive" story in the Daily Star about "general Pavel", who was supposedly "dragged out of retirement" by Putin and sent to Ukraine? [The "obese general" story was completely fictional.]

Images can be seen on the main link, as the HTML embedding apparently didn't pull over completely. You can also view the original Twitter thread here.

But there were a couple of FR threads about this 'General Pavel' back in late June:

Beast from the East! Panicking Putin 'calls up OBESE 280lbs retired general, 67, to lead forces in Ukraine' after 'most of his best and battle-hardened senior commanders are killed' in war

VIDEO: Putin Appoints General Artie Lange to Lead Russian Forces in Ukraine

For all the usual suspects who gloated over this story: be more discerning in the propaganda you consume.

Disinformation from the Dementia Joe deep state/Ukraine is easier than ever thanks to the internet.
Used to be much harder in WWII.

Hey MarcusMaximus,

Are you an honest actor in this debate?

Do you care to admit this was Propaganda now?

Or, as a lot of us assume, are you just a Propaganda Artist?

more complete lies and propaganda by the globalist globohomo communists and their media allies.

You neoCONs should be ashamed of yourselves. YOU are directly responsible for the suffering of Ukrainians by using them as pawns in your proxy war that they have no chance to win. All on behalf of globohomo.

Yes, all the neocon trolls on FR have left is utter crap from the British tabloids which is pure fiction and/or propaganda they are fed.

Even MI6/CIA doesn’t engage in this ridiculous stuff - they save their efforts for much larger disinformation campaigns, and they leave this nonsense to lower level political hacks.

The usual Daily Mail neocon war reporters here on FR spread this propaganda mucous each and every day.

What you have to understand is how demoralizing it is to see videos of generals who are supposed to be dead walking around Moscow. Makes me want to lose a couple of pounds, dig out my old Navy Unform, paddle across the Atlantic, Me and Black Sea and storm Sevastopol myself. Or the alternative hypothesis one could form is that we have no clue what we are doing, cannot do anything except make shit up, and sent $40B to Z and his pals to buy up Swiss Real Estate, and realize its a war lost before we even started.

There is something in Sun Tzu about all of this, oh yeah:

Therefore, in your deliberations, when seeking to determine the military conditions, let them be made the basis of a comparison, in this wise: --
(1) Which of the two sovereigns is imbued with the Moral law?
(2)Which of the two generals has most ability?

Only one of many, many fake stories coming out of that war.

Most of what comes out of the “mainstream media” in this country is fictional. The “media” continues to spread lies because they know the ignorant will continue to eat it up.

The Deep State propagandists can generate fake stories faster than we can debunk them.

That is their game.

Anyone who believes any mass media stories about anything is a danger to themselves and others.

Here is a list of 11 Russian generals claimed to be killed in Ukraine.

Please pick any of these and show a video debunking.

Today it’s the 60th Russian general has been killed. Someone should do a deep dive and see how many of those are actually true. Those stories pretty much all seem to come from dailymail.uk.
