| Well, lucky you, you can go to Ukraine to check whether

| this war of aggression are real. you don't have to trust a

| Congrats, propaganda has accomplished its primary objective.
| Convincing the population is a secondary objective. Its true
| goal is simply making the populace apathetic so that the
| regime can carry on with whatever it wants.
