I should have guessed that kiid had one foot in the Putin camp. While no doubt hedging so as not to seem too much of a Putin apologist. Probably believes NATO caused the war. Forced Vlad to go on a killing spree.
In case you missed it, the Biden Admin has had great intel and has been broadcasting Putin's next move before he can act on his decisions. Most notably that an invasion was coming and roughly when. I even assume that Biden's supposed faux pas about lesser sanctioning for a minor incursion was trying to get Putin to choose a smaller (Donbass) instead of a full invasion, when Putin had decided to attack but was weighing the extent.
Recently, the Biden Admin has been warning repeatedly about the possible Russian use of chemical weapons. Partly because the Russkies are already laying denial groundwork by claiming that Ukraine is preparing to use chemical weapons, along with some unverified intel that a sarin antidote is being delivered to some frontline Russian troops. Biden is upping the ante and making it harder for Russia to use chemical warfare and get away with it. This also plays into the war crimes rhetoric.
One consequence of all this is that Putin is more paranoid and isolated than before, distracted by trying to root out the leaker and/or mole, and how to stop the high-level US surveillance capability. Already the defense minister, a close Putin chum, has disappeared. A few FSB folks have been placed under house arrest. Reshuffling your top echelon during a war isn't "propaganda." Plenty of info has been confirmed, such as the dead Russian generals (5, likely 6 now), including the one whose corpse was captured by the Ukrainians and broadcast on TV.
The US has intercepted plenty of Russian military communications and knows what is going on, probably better than many Russian soldiers. And no doubt passing plenty of useful intel through to the Ukrainians. Plenty of evidence Russian army has been awful, including turning the Ukrainian highway into a tank parking lot for weeks.
Biden Admin has done a terrific job of messing with Putin via the unusual strategy of releasing usually classified military intel quickly.
I know kiid has severe trouble with specifics, but I'd like to hear what he considers propaganda in relation to the Ukraine War.
Actually I just popped in to share the political cartoon, since this forum got me back into political cartoons, mainly Josh. I could care less what kiid's response is.
