Bad Spin Watch. This is was the point of the program.
Some countries in the EU, tho, angered at the embarrassment of sending so little, now spread this spin.

Important thread from @RadioFreeTom
RT @RadioFreeTom: Talking with my Naval War College colleague and friend @FPRI_Orbis, and we are hard-pressed to think of any war we've studied or taught that matches the level of pure incompetence on the part of the Russians in this Ukraine war.
It's staggeringly stupid.

Thread. Do read. This is what they do, this is what they did to Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians and Poles.
And this is why we take a "hard line"🙄 Regarding Russia's behavior in Ukraine:
Because we've seen it here.
They have never apologized for what they did.

Extraordinary thread. Or maybe not.
RT @OlgaNYC1211: This leaked recording is insane. Russia’s famous music producer and Putin shill Iosif Prigozhin and ex-senator Farkhad Akhmedov criticizing Putin and his inner circle.
