I must be missing all the Lutin Propaganda here but this sniper story is hilarious and believing it is suspending disbelief if you actually read it.
I have no idea whether this is true.
Possible, with a lot of luck, but who knows?
Propaganda is a very powerful tool, in war and has been used since the beginning.
There are, probably, about a dozen or more Putin fan boys that jump on every Ukraine thread and viscously attack any story or anyone that doesn’t toe the line.
Personal insults are common.
They even hijack threads that have nothing to do with the war.
Very unpleasant.
