The Russian military has continued its unsuccessful attempts to encircle Kyiv and capture Kharkiv. The Russians continued to attack piecemeal, committing a few battalion tactical groups at a time rather than concentrating overwhelming force to achieve decisive effects. Russian commanders appear...

We've talked about sharing intelligence with Ukraine in posts #118 and #120. Yesterday, that was in the news.

Elements of propaganda, from Hitler's last radio speech, January 30th 1945 the others wanted to destroy us we are better than they we will prevail in the end it's fate, and god is with us All of this was bunk. These are myths, designed to keep people fighting. Everyone uses them, it's just...

evidence: a bullet hole in a gas tank, probably. Sorry, but this is indistinguishable from propaganda. WASHINGTON — Plagued by poor morale as well as fuel and food shortages, some Russian troops in Ukraine have surrendered en masse or sabotaged their own vehicles to avoid fighting, a senior...

The Russian perspective is that of the separatists in Luhansk and Donezk. After these seceded from Ukraine in 2014, Ukraine fought them. Ulraine sent the Azov batallion to do it, and they pushed the boundary back. From the separatist perspective, half of "their" "ethnic Russian" territory is...

Just-in-time logistics? A large fraction of the trucks on our roads are rolling warehouses in normal civilian operations, and the Russians don't exactly have warehouses in Ukraine or Belarus. Some of them are, but we're not shown all of them. Remember that the troop deployment in Western Russia...

we don't even know who placed it and posting something like this gets you popular on social media, so there's always motivation to fake something for clicks and likes

Propaganda isn’t new. But propaganda in our modern age has a problem; we have access to more knowledge than ever before. Propaganda has to innovate. If a country claims something that is untrue, then it won’t last long in such an environment. Someone will always be able to refute it. Because of...

"Ynet (stylized as ynet) is one of the major Israeli news and general-content websites, and is the online outlet for the Yedioth Ahronot newspaper." (wikipedia) I trust them to be correct when they say the Jewish memorial was not damaged.
