The Russians Got Caught Faking A TB-2 Drone Shoot-Down
As Russia’s wider war in Ukraine enters its third month, Ukraine’s small force of Turkish-made TB-2 armed drones continues to pick off Russian forces in eastern and southern Ukraine. The 1,400-pound, propeller-driven unmanned aerial vehicles, armed with 14-pound laser-guided missiles, have targeted air-defenses, artillery batteries, supply convoys and command posts.

Russia has lied about everything in this war from the initial deployment of troops for "training exercises" through the "special operation" to the atrocities committed by their troops and the rockets targeting civilian buildings. So why stop the lies now. But they are kidding themselves - they are going to lose, big time.
The Ruskies lie, cheat, break rules, dope(Olympics) and anything else corrupt, just to save face to try and make everyone believe they’re the best! When in fact, they’re the worst!
From what I've seen of Russian vloggers and street interviews, for the most part the Russian people suspect their government is lying to them. Thing is, they dare no say to too widely for fear of being charged with uttering 'Fake News.
You may not be Russian, or get calls and messages daily from family and friends there (and in Ukraine!), but, I'd guess you get your news from filtered media, and not first hand. If you did, you would know that people in Russia can easily get around social media and internet restrictions, nobody likes the war (and they are sympathetic to the hardships), free speech is not impeded (unless in public display, then you're shooed home). In addition, gas is $1.50 USD/gallon, technology is cheaper than before the war, and Ukrainians, Russians and Americans enjoy socializing together.
Desperation. It's sad.
Russia - please pull out of Ukraine. You are embarrassing yourself.
Russia - please pull out of Ukraine. You are embarrassing yourself.
Their only "success" has been the mass murder of unarmed civilians. About the only thing Putin and his predecessors have ever excelled at.
More importantly, Joe Biden, please pull out of the White House. You are embarrassing the whole country.
