    Those are the original sins; the disinfo media’s job is to gaslight and favorably spin any bad news.

      I just don’t understand the propaganda benefit of telling somebody that their son is dead instead of a POW. and then, you’re giving the family a body.

      sounds like they just don’t care enough, and people are probably frequently being mixed up

        There isnt any propaganda benefit beyond “your son died hero killing many Ukraini! Here is bottle of BLYATT THATS STRONG and two hundred ruble.” The families of enlisted know their sons died in vain, but they cant do shit about it so the pundits get to say whatever they want because theyre “taking care of the family of our fallen soldiers.”

        But youre right, nobody gives a fuck. Remember when the mobniks brought along mobile incinerators to the front? That was because they knew casualties would be ridiculously high, so they needed the means of destroying evidence (i.e. mobnik corpses)

        No evidence is as good as never happened to Russia.
