OT: World Politics

The media fell for the scam like you did, you don't go from allegedly freeing Russians from Ukraine, fully supporting the war, to turning on your country that quickly without it being a huge psy op.

The western media fell for it. It wasn't done to make the media look bad, they did it to themselves.

Genius psy-op for sure.

It totally accomplished....something, and totally didnt make them look weak or vulnerable at all.

Tactical genius vladdy strikes again!
 
Vexler:

Whatever act of the drama we are in, an irreversible politicisation of the Russian space has taken place. Political questions can now be asked, and cannot be unasked, about an alternative to Putin. Putin’s aura of inevitability and legitimacy has lapsed into real politics.

i.e. The large majority of Russian society had been depoliticized, a deliberate regime strategy. But does this episode wake the huge mushy middle? I dunno, the regime still controls the media.
