    That’s the most stupid ostrich behavior they could adapt. The whole of moscow must have seen/heard/felt it. Not covering it in the news is the perfect way to to make people think something isn’t under control.

          Most rural Americans know someone in a city, yet half of them still think those cities are active war zones.

          Propaganda can win against anecdotes.

    This isn’t the cold war era when you could have told lies upon lies and no one could contradict that, technology has moved on and even Russians can get informed if they want to about what the fuck is really happening.
