A favorite Russian military myth is that winter is always on their side but thousands are freezing at home.
Kremlin propagandists have long claimed that “General Frost” marshalled his icy forces to help Russia beat back Napoleon and Hitler, and will aid its troops in their invasion of Ukraine. But Vladimir Putin is finding the cold can be a fickle friend.
In the Moscow region in recent days and weeks, Russians have been freezing in their homes.
Some 20,000 people in the cities of Klimovsk, Lyubertsy, and Podolsk, in the Moscow region, have been left without heating for days — some of them for weeks — as temperatures have dropped below -25C last week, Russian Telegram channel Baza reported. Local authorities declared an emergency.
According to the state-run TASS news agency, the main reason for the lack of heat was a broken boiler at a local ammunition factory that supplies the Russian army’s war in Ukraine but also used to provide heat to Klimovsk and its outskirts.
His pals in NK and Iran have been using poorly edited video games footage as propaganda for years. This is the next logical step after importing faulty munitions: importing faulty tactics as well.
As a person who has played the Arma series my whole life it is truly astounding, sad and hilarious when footage from one of those games is seriously presented as actual real world footage by any actual news outlet.
