      I’m sure the usual suspects will claim it’s once again baseless Western imperialist propaganda.

      But it’s not the first time I’ve heard of this. Last week’s news of malnutried Ukrainian soldiers was a big scandal. For Russian soldiers it was yet another Tuesday. And I can actually understand utter desperation when you’re starving. What I cannot understand why they’re not eating their commanders instead and then go home.

        Well, it is propaganda. Selectively amplifying the truth is one way of doing that.

        It’s good to recognize it even if you agreee with the underlying cause.
