#4 How easily Americans fall for the latest Russian propaganda offensive.
1) "Mass mobilization"
2) "Ukrainian partners' disbelief in the possibility of victory"
3) "The Ukrainian counteroffensive is not successful"
4) "Total corruption"
5) "Beautiful" life in the occupied territories

The Ukrainians are cleaning up corruption. Investigating and arresting the accused, even oligarchs that helped elect Zelensky. Do you think that could happen in the USA?

Meanwhile in mafia Russia, soldiers and their families don't get paid, the dead are disappeared and their salaries stolen. Any sellable weapons and parts disappear. Soldiers have to pay their commanders for food, clothing, weapons and ammo or time off. Food and supplies are stolen, expired, adulterated and maggot infested.
