Every day I open my country’s news and every day it’s a new story about how Putin is losing control, Putin gets humiliated, Ukraine is now at Vladivostoks doorstep, sanctions are good, actually, Putin is doing this and THAT MEANS HE IS DESPERATE.
It’s just so much. So much shit. So much sensationalism. So much propaganda. It’s tiring.
For a long time, I assumed that the Ukraine War was a hoax in some way because the coverage made no fucking sense. Back in March, Russia was launching a genocidal campaign and tearing their way through to Kyiv…then, magically the story changed and Ukraine started winning so hard the Russians surrendered without a fight. But also the war is apparently still going 8 months later. Even the casualtiy figures don’t make any sense. According to our media, Russia has killed almost no one but has gotten absolutely massacred on the battlefield.
Basic common sense gets thrown out of the window for everyone it seems. The Ghost of Kyiv killed 80% of the Russian airforce deployed in Ukraine within three weeks of the invasion, then he died, then he never existed actually.
Ukraine killed 80.000 Russian soldiers already which makes no sense at all. Some figures claim that there are a total of 150k-190k Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Apparently nearly 50% of them are dead already.
Everyone in Russia is complacent in this war but at the same time nobody supports Putin and everyone wants to flee or gets forced to stay. Which one is it? Are they oppressed or are they monsters? They can’t be both.
In history class I often wondered how it was possible for people to follow clearly problematic views in the past. But this war has shown how.
