WAR PROPAGANDA: Ukrainian Propaganda and Russian Propaganda – How it works

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

As a quick rule of thumb, the way the war propaganda from both sides works is that each is quick to put out details of their victories. Some victories might be real, and they might also overstate the size of their victories.

Everyone is quick to put out their victories – real or imagined. But they hide their losses.

So you are dependent on figuring out their losses based on the enemy’s claims.

The Russians as a general rule love massively multiplying their enemy kills and they love massively minimizing their enemy kills.

Here in Africa they taught the Blacks to do the same thing.

So if you know some ratios, you can guess more accurately what exactly is going on.

The Russians ensure, at all times, that they portray it as if they have the high ground and as if they are smashing the enemy – even when the Russians are failing and retreating.

I am therefore looking forward to seeing how Colonel Douglas MacGregor and Scott Ritter try to explain away the failures and defeats of the Russians in the coming months.

I regard both MacGregor and Ritter as Russian mouth pieces. In the case of MacGregor, I think the Russians pay him a fixed salary to talk nonsense. As for Scott Ritter, I think he’s a weak fellow. He does not strike me as a strong man.
