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?

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.

We could use this guy at our southern border. We don’t have to supply him with a horse and whip and the risk of bad political optics. Just have him stand with his hand behind his back at the banks of the Rio Grande and block. They’ll never get out of the river

Why bother?

Tomorrow they'll post the latest "117th General killed" story from the Daily Fail, the only media outlet where Ukraine is winning the war.

Does this article infer we cannot trust news printed about the Russia/Ukraine war?

Inconceivable!
