    I was going to post about that. Seems to be a lot of discrepancies with the story and no confirmation, though.

      Putin seems like he might be sensitive to propaganda. Wouldn't be the worst thing for the media (or social media) to play up stories of heroic Ukrainian resistance.

        Agreed.

        The 13 soldiers on the island were wiped out after telling a Russian warship to 'f---' itself.

          The media does not take sides and will report objectively and factually. To imply that they would employ intentionally biased messaging in their coverage is an insult to the whole profession of journalism. How dare you sir.

          Education is extremely important.

            claiming that the fighter pilot has taken out six Russian jets

            I find that really, really hard to believe.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Is there a recent example of pacifying a citizenry without absolutely crushing them with a bombing / siege campaign?

                      Even with bombing - most places are pretty hard to hold.

                        David Petraeus appeared on some show talking about that. He said that it's pretty easy to hold, IF the citizenry is with you. And he said that, for the most part, the Iraqis were.

                        This is totes different.

                          Totes different is right. Ukrainians are not greeting the Russians with the traditional bread and salt.

                            Just think how much fun the Russians would be having if they didn't have air superiority...
