If anything, this makes the A-50U downing less likely given that there’s been no indication that any A-50U crew are dead and Russia clearly isn’t censoring reports on such.
Disagree
Yes this guy got shoy down but that was the only one since we’re so clearly open and honest.
Clearly Russia has no idea how to censor different things in different ways to create a specific narrative for people to buy into. They’ve never done anything like that before, they aren’t masters of the craft of disinformation or anything.
Totally unrelated joke, how do you know if a Russian is lying? You don’t, sometimes he could be telling the truth just to trick you.
And I’ll throw in one of my favourite exchanges between two characters:
“Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren’t?” “My dear Doctor, they’re all true.” “Even the lies?” “Especially the lies.”
Trusting something coming out of Russia to be true is foolish, just as foolish is trusting it to be false. Nothing that say is reliable in the slightest or should be used to make any useful conclusion about the real world.
