Driving to meet my lady, I’m listening to the radio, which I rarely do anymore. On one of the breaks they had one of those MSM news updates.

MSM proceeds to tell this story where they claim the Ukrainians have discovered a collection of dead and tortured civilians.

I just roll my eyes.

I’m not saying Vlad is a “good” guy, but he’s also not stupid. It benefits him NOTHING to “torture and kill” civilians…in fact, it would have the opposite effect. We all know this.

So that only leaves a handful of culprits if it wasn’t the Russian military.

We all know who those are.

Larger point being, they are doing everything they can do condition us into accepting a war with Russia. I’m relatively insulated from the bullshit propaganda, but this just reinforced to me how much the gaslighting is in effect. Disgusting.

It's hard to know for sure who is doing what to whom, but it's beginning to look as though the Ukrainian military are torturing and murdering both Russians and Ukrainians. The Uks seem to be the bad guys in this war. That's my take on it. Putin seems to be behaving in a civilized manner. But there is a blizzard of propaganda, most of it anti-Russian.

Putins propaganda is simple.

Win hearts and minds of Ukrainians.

And how he does that is simple.

Be good and kind to them.

No lies. No fake news. Just actually give aid and protection

And not destroy their roads, bridges water, waste, power, and internet infrastructure in the first 24 hours of the invasion.

This point gets missed by all the normies. If Putin played by American rules he would have flattened the civilian infrastructure within the first couple days.

Leaving open refugee corridors even when they get abused by the enemy
