Where I work there is a non-ending review of the open source reporting coming from Ukraine. Seriously, the entire Russian army and navy was killed in Ukraine and the ones there now are the draftees which Putin called up and sent in.
I know it make sense for the Ukrainians to do this. Many of the Russian soldier’s families read this and lose their minds and attack Putin for these losses.
But this is really become the war fought by Twitter.
I know one guy they reported killed (pushed through the YouTube ad coming in the kid’s cartoon), showing ID and mutilated corpse. Called him to find out he is alive and well, and nowhere near Ukraine on top of it.
And yet some at FR apparently like being lied to by CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, the usual suspects.
Bad news if the Russian people get angry and seeing their losses launch their own propaganda of Ukes Castrating Russian POWs, Raping POWS, killing all who surrender. Plan to launch germ warfare on Russia with US provided germ bombs? Or lose special gas that makes all victims become Gay and sexualy attack fellow soldiers>?
Judging by the actual footage showing the rubble of what used to be the city of Mariupol, I’d have say the war is NOT even close to being caught only on Twitter.
