Tokyo Rose, Jan 1945:
“Today the Japanese Imperial Navy sank 3 American aircraft carriers, five battleships, sixteen destroyers, and threw the Marines off Iwo Jima.”
A majority of Japanese citizens is said to have believed Japan was winning up to a month or so prior to the end.
So this begs the question, which side is analogous to the Japanese Imperial Navy? Neither of them have a free press, but Russia’s media is less free and has been so for a longer period of time. So I’d say they are more likely to spin tales. But I wouldn’t put it past either of them, and if I had to choose, I’d believe the unofficial British media, of which this indy outlet seems to be a part.
Hi guy, I know you posted this yesterday, but I would appreciate your opinion.
Why do FReepers chose a side in this war? Why is there such animus between the factions?
Zelinsky is corrupt. Putin is corrupt. Both have oligarchs who put them in office (Soros). Both speak Russian.
What does it come down to? My dick is bigger than yours?
Well, I’m neutral. I was trained to kill communists wherever they came from.
