The way this invasion has been covered so far is a bit strange. I can't put my finger on it.

Sadly, the "fog of war" has been used by all sides to create propaganda campaigns that are increasingly obvious.

On the other hand, did you hear that the Russians torpedoed a Ukrainian aircraft carrier yesterday?

OK, so Snake Island 13 did curse the Russians but were captured instead of killed. Don’t see much of a difference there.

I received this from a friend.

“Understand Gell-Mann [https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/] amnesia because it’s very important here.

All of the people I know who were rightfully suspicious of the plandemic in all its stages need to be aware of this because the same people that told you two weeks to flatten the curve are telling you that innocent tiny helpless Ukraine is being steamrolled by evil Russia.

The Ukraine that financed the Clintons. The Ukraine that deals with the Bidens. Tiny they may be but innocent they are not.

Ukraine has a right to their own sovereignty. And there is no question that Putin is a dick. And it is clear to anybody who can think that the motivation behind destroying our all too recent energy Independence was to force us to buy Russian oil to help Putin Finance his prosecution of this action.

What is the endgame? Is the endgame developing American empathy for Ukraine so we have an excuse to ship our young men and women off to war against Russia? Who knows. There are any number of scenarios. All of them involve loss by people who have the least to lose and Gain by all of the people who gain no matter what.

Don’t shake your head at the bullshit pandemic and then turn the page of the newspaper and think to yourself wow those brave Ukrainians are standing up to the big monster we should help them.

Have empathy for the people who are In Harm’s Way, pray for them if you pray. Be aware of who and what the real enemy is.”

This could be a fake.

Possibly. But this footage of Ukrainian commandos using heavy weaponry to fight off the Russians in Kiev is obviously real. Someone alert CNN.

“SHOCKED, SHOCKED, THERE’S PROPAGANDA GOING ON IN THIS WAR”.

Is this author a teenage girl? Propaganda has been part of warfare for all of recorded history.

Thr maxim remains true: "The first casualty when war comes is truth"

If you look at some of the politicians engaging in this (Kitzinger, Rubio, haven't watched Fox news so I don't know how much Graham is pushing), you have raise an eyebrow.

And the elephant no one seems to talk about: Biden cancels drilling leases domestically while still purchasing oil from Russia. And no mideadt pipeline. Just a year and a half ago, the US was exporting energy.

The amount of agitprop, including on this site, is nauseating.

A quick stroll through any social media site will tell you that there are several generations out there completely untrained in how to spot propaganda. They need to be reminded...constantly.

I don’t watch the news, but I was interested in the wild Ukrainian Pilot who shot down a half dozen Russian planes in one day.

I saw it, so I figured I’d go back and read about it. As an aviation enthusiast, that would be an impressive record in the jet age.

So I got busy, and the “48 Hour Rule” automatically kicked in (make no judgements on news until 48 hours have passed) and when I got around to looking at it, was amused to find out it was not true.

OTOH, as I took the time to review the news, much of it sounded like state propaganda that has been put out by governments for centuries, even if updated for the digital media age.

It was disconcerting to me to read the propaganda, and see it as such right off the bat with no effort at all. There is something about the themes and language that has commonality with propaganda we have seen in the past.

Putin is at 4% support in the US. Let’s all strap on suicide bombs and support him. Conservatism didn’t advance substantively from Reagan to Trump. 30 years. I can’t imagine why.

I don’t trust 99.9999999999999999999999999999% of what I hear, see, smell, whatever from 99.99999999999% of so-called media outlets. Liberal, conservative, whatever, they all have their own personal agendas, thus the lies fly.

I’m with you. There is too many moving parts and sides and angles.
This does nothing to instill trust in the system. That said, Civilians are off limits!

The U.S.S. Franklin, March, 1945. The ship coming along side is the light cruiser U.S.S. Santa Fe. My late Uncle Dave was a Seaman 3rd class/gunners mate on that ship.

He survived the war only to be killed in a construction accident. Always thought that was unfair.
