Well, I can't say I wasn't warned. During the Falkland War between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982, one Argentinean politician quoted the famous saying that one of the casualties of war is truth. What exactly did he mean? He meant that during war, the sides involved are in the notorious bad habit of reporting lies concerning how the war is going.
We have a good example of this type of deceitful reporting during WWII when Germany began to experience major setbacks in its attack on Stalingrad. The trapped and beleaguered army under Russian attack in Stalingrad was described as a fortress which would be held and reinforced successfully, when in truth, the German 6th Army was freezing, starving, running out of ammunition, trapped in the rubble of a demolished city, and being gradually destroyed. Yet, the German public was kept in ignorance as long as possible in order to keep them from panicking.
Similarly, today we have this war between Ukraine and Russia and are being regularly fed the same kind of deceitful propaganda. We are told that Ukraine is doing well. That the Russians are surrendering to the Ukrainian army en mass. That the Russians are rapidly running out of ammunition and abandoning their tanks. That Putin is frustrated and begging Ukraine for negotiations to put an end to the conflict. That Ukraine will eventually regain all the territory it has lost. That Putin will never dare to launch a nuclear strike because it fears a NAO response. That the recent effort to draft more Russians to fight in Ukraine will fail because Russian reinforcements are badly trained and will be slaughtered on the battlefield by the professional Ukrainian army. That Russia itself is undergoing political turmoil as Russian citizens are opposing Putin's policies. All such things are constantly announced on the news as irrefutable facts in the hope that the gullible accept them as such.
The Video posted below delves into this kind of irresponsible news reporting chicanery exposing it for what it is.
