All this total crap for one mad psycho like Putin in the wrong place and of no use to anyone. Yeah, how can the Russians not know what's happening?

Well, we also are skilled at misinforming the masses.

That adds to our problems.

At least we have choices as to information sources, including platforms like Medium. At this point as modern as communications are in the digital age, Putin has Russian communications totally locked down, or locked down enough under penalty of law for expressing un-Putin like ideas.

Sure, locally he is winning the information war, however in time as more and more soilders and citizens die, and bread lines form, there will be some major head scratching in Russia.
