Oh, Superman, where are you now
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, the men of power
Are losing control by the hour


It's a lot easier to sing karaoke than to sing opera

I see that Russian disinformation trolls were hard at work coming up with the fake story that Mrs Zelensky bought as $4.5 million Bugatti car in Paris. They went as far as to create a fake video, fake news site, fake invoice, fake interview with the supposed car salesman.

It was quickly debunked, but not before thousands had seen and liked the posts promoting it.
For example, Jackson Hinkle a Kremlin asset from America, posted a link about it that was seen by more than 6.5m people.

It looks like the Russian strategy is to keep pumping out this stuff that will be believed by low information, less intelligent people on socials. Having it debunked days or hours later only partly retrieves the situation.

Be very careful (on your high horse), there is stuff you swallow on a daily basis from what you consider to be reliable sources, who are also not telling you the truth or controlling the narrative. We are all subject to it from both sides.

Speak for your own gullibility :)

Meanwhile back on the Front, see just how a World superpower army´s busiest unit evacuate the fallen.

'Both sides' is the fallback pro-Russian position when everything else has failed. Now being used as the get out for being caught red handed with clumsy easily debunked propaganda.

Now, if I was a thinking man who had unfortunately fallen prey to a bit of Russian propaganda regarding the Zelenskyys, but hadn't completely lost my critical thinking ability, I'd be asking myself:

1. If the Zelenskyys are sooo corrupt why do the Russians have to make this shit up about them?

2. What else have I already swallowed that is complete bullshit?

Do you think this type of propaganda is only done by the Russians?

Where did I suggest that?
I am well aware of the propaganda game, no need to whatabout or both side it.
You seem a bit sore about it though.

"Both sides"..."all the media tells lies". That's usually the easy cop out when someone holds an opinion that they find difficult to back up.

I had no opinion that needed to be backed up. I had noting to cop out off. Just stating that all the lies don't come just from one side.

Russia invaded Ukraine, not both sides are at it
Russia is bombing the sh'it out of all and sundry in Ukraine, rape, pillage and plunder.
Not both side are at it bull.
The only nations that Russia  haven't invaded are those who are members of NATO.
The Baltic nations had to fight tooth and nail for NATO to accept them as members.

Russia has the intention to bomb pillage and plunder their way across a sovereign independent nation,
there is no both sides are at it bullshít.
The Kremlin is a permanent source of toxic sludge propaganda  and have no qualms about sponsoring such harmful hybrid warfare incidents against Ireland.

The Kremlin lie about everything all of the time, that's the default starting point before anyone can make some sense of the rest.
This is a war of ugly aggression by Russia against Ukraine. Russia is off begging help from China and North Korea whilst Ukraine are begging help from the rest of Europe, USA, Japan, Australia and Sth Korea.

You can shove the both sides are it spiel up where the sun don't shine.

A really profound and informative opinion.
