Russia's war in Ukraine isn't just being fought on the ground and in the air with tanks, artillery and fighter jets. It's also playing out online, where the Kremlin and its allies are using propaganda, fake social media accounts, forged documents and manipulated videos and images to push false narratives, in an effort to deflect blame from Moscow and undermine support for Ukraine.

"To defeat Ukraine on the battlefield, Russia needed to strangle all sympathy and support for Ukraine as well," analysts at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab wrote in a new report analyzing the Kremlin's information operations in Ukraine.

Facebook takes down Russian network impersonating European news outlets
A year into the conflict, Russia continues to deploy false and misleading claims to justify its actions, cast Ukraine and NATO as the aggressors, and deny responsibility for the war.
It's a continuation of a strategy President Vladimir Putin has pursued long before February 24, 2022 — stretching back to 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and threw its support behind separatists in eastern Ukraine.
That includes falsehoods like the claim Ukraine is run by Nazis with support from the U.S., which was the subject of a recent documentary posted online by state-backed broadcaster RT. It's one of 50 such films RT has published since the invasion — nearly one a week — according to Newsguard, a company that rates news websites' credibility.

Wow. You truly don’t have a clue, Stretch. WWJD?
You remind me of those during the Vietnam War who said Asians don’t have the same respect for life like we do. It took a few years for me to realize just how racist and stupid those claims were. Human beings are virtually identical genetically and only vary by culture. Even so, the human emotions of bonding with family and the loss of family remains strong in all human cultures.
Thank you for the clarifying what kind of “Christian” you truly are.
It was interesting to hear Ritter saying that Russian is still actively luring more Ukrainians into the Bakhmut meat grinder, so that they can kill them, that Russia is not much interest in taking Ukrainian land, that the Russians are in the business of killing Ukrainians, and business is good.

It was strategy.
Putin can take Ukraine anytime he wants and his only concern is making sure no western powers interfere with his plans.
He hasn’t lost anything, if you know the history of Russian military tactics one of their main positions is to retreat land while wearing the enemy down then counterattack

Tinkerpeach certainly sounds gleeful about the unprovoked and unjustifiable Russian assault on a sovereign nation.
Another JPP Putin cockholster, we can assume?

Nope, just stating facts. I don’t care what happens in Ukraine
That is not what happened here.

As of now, at least,
we don't have maniacal Eastern Europeans
exchanging gunfire on Boylston Street
or in the Common and Public Gardens.
That means that as bad as things are,
there's still room to get worse.

The American people have been divided since colonial days.
There's never been a time, except maybe,
to somewhat of an extent during World war II,
that the foreign invaders who overtook this continent, plus the slaves that some of them brought, plus the indigenous people,
have been in any way united.
There's nothing to be done to make incompatible people suddenly compatible.
It's a pipe dream with contaminated opium in a dirty pipe.

Kremlin Preparing Russians for Defeats in Ukraine
As Ukrainian forces continue to set conditions for a long-anticipated counteroffensive, Moscow's pundit class is running short on optimism. Rather than continuing to say that Russia's "special military operation" is still going according to plan, Kremlin-controlled media appear to be actively preparing the domestic population to accept further setbacks on the battlefield.
"Russian federal talk shows and news broadcasts are pointing to all of the Western military aid that Ukraine has received," Kateryna Stepanenko of the Institute for the Study of War told Newsweek. "They really highlight the number of troops trained by NATO countries and the quantity of Western-supplied weapons systems."
The Kremlin-approved message being communicated to Russian viewers seems to leave open the possibility that, following successful Ukrainian counteroffensive operations around Kharkiv last September and in the city of Kherson in November, Moscow expects that the summer of 2023 could see Ukrainian forces taking back territory around Melitopol, Berdyansk, and even in Crimea.
According to figures with firsthand knowledge of how the Kremlin-controlled media ecosystem operates, such messaging would not be making it onto Russian television screens without the consent of the authorities. Rather than representing outbursts from rogue talk show guests, the narrative that Ukraine now represents a legitimate military threat to Russia—a stark contrast to the idea that Russian forces could still seize Kyiv in three days if they actually desired to do so—is being communicated to Russian audiences intentionally.

Russia has a Terracotta army.
In the 1970's, President Jimmy Carter demanded that America surrender to the Russians, because satellite images showed thousands of T-80 attack tanks in East Germany poised to swoop in and crush Europe.
After Ronald Reagan defeated the USSR, we found that nearly all of these "tanks" were literally tinfoil over cardboard. They looked convincing from satellites, but we just props.
That's the Russians.
I'd be surprised if they have 1,300 functional battle tanks.
