      Many people think that propaganda means it’s a lie. Often it is, but propaganda can be true while still being propaganda. Which is this case.

      So, yeah, obviously it’s a propaganda. Doesn’t make Russian inhuman shooting of their own troops any better.

      How delusional do you have to be to ignore that they’ve done so throughout history and even did so in this exact war? This is merely someone giving the order, it’s not like we didn’t know they did it.
