Havent seen any pics of Russia in a shambles yet. Pics from Ukraine looks like a country being reduced to rubble. Imagine what is not being shown. Why?

Because the media is sensitive to “old ladies” that would complain and raise the roof if the carnage of war were actually shown on TV.
By sanitizing the images of human carnage, the media makes it possible to keep a current war going while setting public acceptance of future wars. That tactic makes it possible for many to say a war is not real, the images are photoshopped or movie sets, and the soldiers are actors in costume.
There are now many people who view nuclear war as just another sort of war with different named weapons and no big deal - that’s not an uncommon view since the desensitization to mass death has been reduced to CGI images in some superhero movie.
Many people have lost any connection to reality and to what nuclear war would mean for them and their families - to the extent they imagine they would survive and life would go on with little changes, just a few added inconveniences perhaps - which they would complain mightily about to whoever would listen.
I’m having trouble believing anything from the Ukraine or Russia at this point and the western media, that’s a joke in and off itself, they couldn’t report the truth if their lives depended on it.
