Ukraine admits what everyone knew since day 1 of the invasion but was spread in western media anyway because "it's not fake news, it's myth creation."
That's not what libs believed. Maybe the media did, but those who listen to it were fully on board with the propaganda

SpongeBob will carry on the fight and destroy the Russian orcs, deus vult.
Admit it, we all knew that it was bullshit. Even before they released footage of the ghost that just turned out to be from a video game.
Admit it, we all knew that it was bullshit.
I mean, I - personally - had no idea what the Russian military was still capable of. And my media feed drowned out most people with a degree of expertise and credibility. So I looked at Ukraine as another US-style quagmire. Maybe even a Bay of Pigs situation.
I'm still waiting to see how this all shakes out. But yeah, its looking a lot more like Iraq 2 than Operation Eagle Claw atm
From what I understand from them, all pilots fear the SAMs infinitely more than enemy fighters. The air defense system is what is going to get the most kills
Guess what the Soviets, and the post-soviet CIS states specialize in - and why NATO doesn't let the best fighter in the world, that being the F-35, nowhere near them
Between this and how everyone suspects the US' carrier fleets are sitting ducks in a war against a country like China, the bloomer in me is hopefully that I live to see the day the US military gets completely humiliated (and destroyed) on a scale never before seen in world history
And that 1,000 years from now, when they talk about this time period, they'll point out the humiliation of the supposed greatest military ever came about largely because the entire structure of the thing was built on lining the wealthy's pockets more than building an actual capable military.
F-35 isn't supposed to be a fighter anyway. Its basically flying recon and artillery. In theory it should be operating outside the range of your air defense.
Admittedly, in practice...
Either way, the premise of Western hype around Ukraine was that Russia's military was so completely sclerotic, even a rag tag band of high schoolers with pluck and moxy could defeat them.
So "The Ghost of Kyiv" could shoot down six planes in thirty minutes because Russians were sitting ducks. And the Russian war machine would grind to a halt because nobody in the military knew how to move fuel to the front lines. And then Vladimir Putin would die of embarrassment for even dreaming of challenging the West. And everyone would clap.
All fiction.
“We fabricated the most widely known story of Ukrainian resistance– wait NATO why did you stop sending us artillery?”
With most journalists in Ukraine unable to access the war’s hot spots, news organizations rely heavily on information relayed back to them in Kyiv or Lviv.
Lol what could be wrong with that practice.
Also i am livid that these “journalists” are just acting like “OMG BEING SKEPTICAL OF ONE-SIDED PROPAGANDA IS SOOOOOOO HAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!! OUR STRUGGLES ARE REAL! WOE IS US!”
