@RationalLeft @LiberalLibrarian So, delusion and propaganda? It's all the Putin regime has at this point (or at all).
@SentinelOfTruth @LiberalLibrarian Yup. Pretty typical of autocracies.
@RationalLeft I mean, if their weapons are so mighty, why don't they push them back to Kyiv? Oh, right; no soldiers left.
@LiberalLibrarian: As in Orwell's book, the shit the Soviet government, such as it is, spews is purely for home consumption and then for useful idiots abroad.
@LiberalLibrarian Lavrov made the same claim. It's the new Russian line: the "failure" of the Ukrainian counteroffensive (its slow speed is due almost entirely to massive Russian minefields) proves the uselessness of NATO weapons and the massive superiority of invincible Russian arms (which were supposed to conquer Ukraine in 3 days, 18 months ago).
