    how they view Russia: “aw shucks we sent 1 hypersonic ballistic missile and their superior white tech stopped our inferior Slavic Asiatic tech! We only had 1, we’re all out now!!!”

          I think it was more inflated causality figures. Frankly I’ve only heard about the missile bit because it was parroted by some libs in Russia

    So they have the most powerful air defense systems in the world, but Russia is also simultaneously launching endless terrorist strikes on civilian targets? What, is Ukraine just not bothering defending those targets?

    They should really try one consistent propaganda line.

      Why bother? It doesn’t seem to cause any sense of cognitive dissonance in the supporters. It probably goes like this: “The ukranian air defence is most powerful in the world! Russkies are zerg rushing it with bomb pigeons and north Korean missiles (because as everyone knows, Russia ran out of missiles in march), because russkies only do zerg rush! Sometimes it slips through and hits a school that totally has children in it and absolutely no soldiers (who are also not Nazis)”

      They don’t need to. It’s all theatre to the westerners. It’s just another thing on the “Russia bad” pile. No analysis of contradictory things, no questioning why Russia would do things like blow up their own infrastructure. Just “Russia so evil, of course they would do that.”
