@LiberalLibrarian Ukraine says it wasn't them. Maybe it was, maybe not - it's pretty low tech and the explosive yields were small, so it could have been a third party.
But Putin howling in rage about attacks on civilian targets is... staggering. And yet most Russians will believe him that Russia never targets civilians.
@LiberalLibrarian People in China also are limited to state media... but there's evidence that huge numbers know they're being lied to.
Russians *WANT* to be lied to.
@RationalLeft Of course, since most Russians get their news solely from state media.
