  1. The Russians are losing the disinformation war, and the Russian trolls know it. Look at these half-hearted attempts.

  2.  @unholyroller11  Agreed. The main difference here is one side has open societies with free and independent journalism. Independent press can fact check claims made by Ukraine and either debunk or confirm claims (or report them as unconfirmed). There’s a built in check on propaganda and a more or less open flow of information. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good. Russia has no free and independent press. There are no independent journalists roaming behind the Russian lines checking Russian claims. Putin controls the media, and journalists reporting facts risk prison or, as has happened before, death. Whatever independent media that existed a month ago has been banned and criminalized. So, yes, there is propaganda on both sides, but only one side has a corrective mechanism to check the truthfulness of the propaganda.

  3. They’re keeping their AF reserves to defend Russia. They can’t spare more for this optional offensive. Same with reserve ground forces and equipment. This is Putin’s wad, and he’s shot it. Unfortunately for him, it’s blowing back into his face 💨

  4.  @daledelatte9607  Also dictatorships are historically challenged with passing unpleasant news of reverse and failure up the chain of command. It’s possible that Putin still doesn’t know how badly his invasion is going. He’s not merely buying his own B.S., he’s fully invested in t. He believes his own propaganda. Bearers of bad news tend to get killed, disappeared, or thrown in prison.

  5. Or it could be that the military can’t spare any more reserves without leaving the border unguarded and unrest in the provinces suppressed.

  6. The Russian bots and trolls are out in full force, but no one is buying their BS. Finally, a Russian disinformation campaign is utterly failing.

  7. Artillery is one means of delivering chemical weapons.

  8. Putin has fallen victim to believing his own propaganda. One could broadcast a detailed plan of attack to exploit any of Ukraine’s weaknesses, and Putin wouldn’t believe it.

  9.  @leeneon854  Canadians, for the most part, helped train the Ukrainians.

  10.  @02markcal  That’s very unlikely. The risk of capture would be too great.
