More worthless Daily Mail stories from the garbage disposal to make us argue over what is propaganda.

Russia is a trash nation that was destroyed by the Communists. Alcoholism is rampant, and so is governmental dysfunction and corruption. There are videos of Russian conscripts, newly made, showing they are being handed rusted out rifles. Russian military bloggers are calling the mobilization "a mess," pointing out how large numbers of conscripts are having to be sent back, because they're old, blind, and sick.

So when you call all this "propaganda," you're really just revealing how utterly clueless you are about how shitty Russia is.

Putin fanbois aren't clueless. They know that the facts are against them, so they yell "propaganda" "globalhomo" "Soros" to keep from engaging in a fact based debate.

LOL. So true. We are seeing the real Russia now but sadly some Putin loving eyes will never see it. They have constructed a fantastical version of Russia over many years and will never admit they are wrong.

I've said the same thing here many times. Ivan is drinking himself to death- literally . There's no age limit to drink and beer, something which the average Russian in the Soviet era ever heard of is now plentiful and cheap.

It's not surprising Russia is in collapse. It's population is only around 145 million people and sanctions are affecting them. And it's military does suck. They've apparently have little or no concept of integrated arms use , supply and logistics and secure communication. Throwing in the old and young, sick and illiterate means desperation. Vlad needs to cut and run.
