i was sure they “named” the ghost , although yeah the actual story is a complete lie

IIRC some people who believed the myth started contacting family members of Ukrainian pilots (some alive, some dead in combat) and thanking them for their ghost service, so the Ukraine Air Force told everyone it was not true and please stop cold-calling random family members of pilots.

Wasn't the snake island story also made up which means there's a bunch of clowns with gangtags based entirely on false propaganda

They did tell a warship to gently caress itself, the lie was the claim that they all fought to the death instead of surrendering

I think it's because Biden's administration (and by extension Obama's) only know how to govern by bourgeois-style mass mobilization. In other words, government-coordinated mass media campaigns where everyone knows the talking points and which messages get all the airtime and which ones don't.

It apparently worked for getting over covid and seems to have worked initially for the war in Ukraine. The demand for people to not believe their lying eyes and ears over Gaza however may be the straw that breaks the camel's back when the mobilization for Bidenomics was already insulting the intelligence of people. Governance by campaign has a limited lifespan and now that the narrative has crashed into reality, it's going to be increasingly louder screaming against an apathetic audience.

It worked for COVID because people not being able to go to Applebees for 6 months was the greatest amount of "tyranny" some of these people have ever experienced so were receptive to going back like nothing had happened. The Ukraine war, well like that one psycho bragged, plenty of older people in this country were trained from birth to hate the Russians, that running into the people lookinf ro punish them for Her Turn Denied, made the perfect storm for people begging for nuclear war.

Israel/Palestine on the other hand is an old hat issue, even if I think since Trump won it was put on the back burner most people have their minds made up and even if the inbuilt support from being shocked at such a massive surprise operation is easily over come by how obviously genocidal they're being and I think their all out ad campaign is back firing, if you have to have everyother ad on youtube tell you Hamas = ISIS people can smell bullshit

Yes, the initial story was that the garrison on Snake Island died heroically defending the Island from the Russians after their defiant stance against the Russian warship demanding their surrender - "Russian warship go gently caress yourself"

Then a few days later it was revealed that the entire garrison had actually surrendered on demand, nobody died (or maybe 1 person died I can't remember) and the entire event was fabricated for western media

One advantage for Ukraine is that with everyone focusing on Gaza nobody is dwelling on the counteroffensive being a failure.

Another setback for the President's Office on the international track, all these failures form a negative image of Zelensky.
Zelensky wanted to come to Israel with U.S. Secretary of State Blinken last week, but he was told that now was "not the right time."

This is stated by the Ynet publication with reference to sources.

They hope at Bankova that the transfer will take place later, but I take into account all the layouts in Israel, they clearly do not want to see our President there, so as not to set Russia against.

I welcomed the US Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery, Penny Pritzker.

This visit conveys a message of strong and lasting US support. We discussed the protection of Ukraine's energy infrastructure as winter approaches, as well as critical recovery needs.

Ukraine invites greater American private investment in long-term projects in agriculture, engineering, chemical production, and other areas of our economy.

I am grateful to President Biden, both parties in the US Congress, and the American people for their support for Ukraine.

German journalist and ukranian booster with a sobering post. Ukraine offensive is all but over, the western weapons were ineffective against russian fortified positions and right now for every meter ukraine gains it loses 50 in other areas

Theres nothing in the current wunderwaff pipeline that will help ukraine and the attention is squarely on Israel

To be fair, this thread was slowing down even before I-P popped off. The counteroffensive is over, Russia is doing their own stuff but its a grind once again, and mud season is just going to slow everything down even more until December.

At this point, the next big predictable event is if the US is able to resume aid to Ukraine or if it all gets sent to Israel instead.
