The Kremlin Shamelessly Using War Widows to Sell Its Evil to the Masses

The Kremlin’s multi-pronged assault on the minds of the Russian people has been amazingly successful. Using a combination of outrageous lies, oppression, and the tragedies of real people, Russians have fallen in line more quickly than I think even they expected they would.
The propaganda in Russia is powerful. All of us in the world are subjected daily to the hysterical lies of the Kremlin. Russian bombs Kyiv and kills innocent non-combatants and this is somehow okay. When Ukraine sends over a handful of drones that harmlessly blow up in Moscow, Russians say it is terrorism — lunacy for sure.
Moscow’s propaganda war, however, as successful as it has been, nonetheless requires constant care. Once the seeds begin to grow, the aspiring plant must be repotted so more nutrients from the soil can feed the plant allowing for more growth. Lately, the Kremlin’s talking heads on TV have seen their ratings drop. Russians are getting bored with the white-hot hate and daily calls for Armeggeddon-inducing assaults on London and Berlin.
