"How can the Russians, compared to the West b so incredibly successful with their disinformation, or propaganda, and fool so many people around the world?" Seems to me that they don't really do much at all. Without the interventionary blocking and obfuscation of the US/European western media machine, people in other countries outwith our particular block can still read what's actually happening. The Russians are I reckon too busy putting their efforts into effectively winning an actual war and have lost whatever interest they might have had in western public opinion. The Ukrainians on the other hand are running what we might term a "Performative" war: one not particularly strategically engaged to achieve victory but more a kind of staged drama with heroic and romantic episodes all geared and tailored to the propaganda purposes of the Western media which only requires that they "appear" to be winning: which is of course why they will lose. - One of the great tragedies of this whole show is that large numbers of Ukrainian soldiers are actually dying for what is in effect a sordid form of "theatre" .
