From the internet. You are a master of these war propaganda rules.

A British diplomat, Lord Ponsonby (1871-1946), cited the perennial propaganda claims of wartime leaders in his book, “Falsehood in Wartime.” Belgian historian Anne Morelli condensed 10 principles of wartime propaganda out of this book.

1. We do not want war.

2. The other side is solely responsible for the war.

3. The enemy has the face of the devil.

4. It is a noble cause that we defend and not particular interests.

5. The enemy commits atrocities knowingly; if we make unfortunate mistakes, it is involuntary.

6. The enemy uses unauthorized weapons.

7. We suffer very few losses, while the losses of the enemy are enormous.

8. Artists and intellectuals support our cause.

9. Our cause has a sacred nature.

10. Those who question our statements are traitors.

9. Our cause has a sacred nature.

That is the defining one that wins and loses wars. When you have a side that pushes homosexual depravity on the world, then that side has lost ALL MORAL authority. That is the side that is going to lose. Few soldiers want to fight for a regime that pushes sexual sadistic perversion.

Unfortunately, that side is the Western countries lead by the Biden Deep State. And may they be painfully exterminated forever.

2. The other side is solely responsible for the war.

Right, Putin did not invade neighboring independent Ukraine for territorial gain. NATO forced his hand. Idiocy
