    Could as well mean that the truth is labeled as Russian propaganda or that Russian propaganda is closer to the truth than American propaganda.

    Eh, until you ask them how their own war of choice in Ukraine is going.

      It’s different than the numbers in the west. Which source can be trusted as an objective truth to know how much each side is off?

        It’s pretty wild seeing Jeffrey Sachs called a Russian propagandist. Wikipedia credits him as the architect of “shock therapy” that undermined Russian economy.

        The numbers are anybody’s guess, and even they probably don’t know for sure.

        But I’m talking about things like Russia claiming they had taken a specific town, and then Zelesnky posting a video of himself walking around in that town. Pretty clear which one is objective truth in cases like that.

          Russia does very little of this, and much less than Ukrainian denials of reality. Mostly the front lines that Russia claims are reality. Definitely no example of a highly contested town that Zelensky walked through.
