Russia absolutely went to town on My Lai. The US gets away with little. People IN the US didn’t care.
I don’t particularly care about Ukraine. But I am amazed at how poorly Russia is dealing with this. Their propaganda is 1960’s style. Haven’t they had anyone in Russia go to a western university to learn this stuff.
The truth is out there. Both sides exaggerate. Both sides lie. The Russians are just hamfisted about it.
Russia does not control Western media—but they do control their internal media and Putin remains very popular there.
This shows the power of the mass media to manipulate public opinion—on both sides.
