Indeed. Context is everything, and social media posts in general usually almost always have a big lack of context. Now, with the situation at hand, context is even more important. A situation like this is rather chaotic by nature and things can change at any point, so it is very easy to come to wrong conclusions if you judge things simply by social media posts without any context. On top of that comes a deliberate propaganda campaign where false information (and information totally lacking in context) is being put out like crazy, especially from the west.
Indeed.
Yes. The Kremlin website still isn't available either, and started to become unavailable shortly after things got hot:
http://en.kremlin.ru/
That's rather unfortunate since that is the main source that can tell us what Putin and really do and say (transcript of speeches and mettings etc.).
Yes they have. Refer back to the
two speeches Putin has made recently.
For now, I would suggest to be very careful, stay at home and only leave the house if absolutely necessary.... Also, be aware that the Ukraine Military is catching males and force them to fight for them against the russians.
