120+ years of mastering the art of propaganda. Gotta give the West credit where it’s due - it is THE thing they are good at - projections, lies, omission of facts and half-truths.
Yup, the narrative is starting to crack now in the media, but there’s still a lot of inertial from people having internalized the propaganda over the past two years. This is also leading to some hilarity where libs are starting to claim outlets like NYT and WSJ Russian propagandists.
I expect it’s going to take a decisive defeat of Ukraine for people to really start accepting that Russia won the war. I imagine the cope at that point will be that the west didn’t give enough to Ukraine at the start of the war. A lot of people are simply never going to accept the idea that Russia beat NATO here.
People on tiktok too. They’re convinced Russia can barely hold off a “second rate” army like Ukraine that once NATO steps in its all over, easy peasy. You just know that once a draft hits these mother fuckers are running for their lives.
Gotta give them props for managing to keep the alternate reality bubble stable for that long though.

Plenty of people still believe Russia failed miserably if Reddit’s anything to go by

They can’t even accept their loss to Vietnam and Afghanistan
American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug
