It’s a posed picture,does not mean the equipment is fake. I seriously doubt they would go through the extravagant extreme of creating all this illusion for propaganda.
Down load and blow up the picture. There are more than one with hands on keyboards, and the monitors show different pictures. The resolution is not good enough to see if the key boards are real or not. There is no practical reason for there to be fake keyboards, there’s nothing really super secret about them.
They have shown themselves to have a modern military, which makes the likelihood of this being real.
you have to stand on your head an twist yourself into a pretzel to convince yourself that this picture isn’t propagandist crap from the people that invented propagandist crap.
I never thought I would find apologists for old soviet cold warriors at FR. for many, their justified contempt for BHO has completely unraveled them.
