Whose Denials?

Adjectives aside, Russian officials aren’t denying that Russia did strike the village in the Kharkiv region last week, killing 52 out of its 200 inhabitants. The only people who are denying that Russia fired that missile all live in the US and speak not a word of either Ukrainian or Russian.

Similarly, nobody in Russia is denying that Russia is conducting military operations in Ukraine. Nobody there is denying there’s a war going on. The only people who insist there’s no war (because they didn’t see videos or whatever) live in the United States.

Thanks to social media we can now observe all day how extraordinarily stupid many people are. They were always stupid but one didn’t have to know about it. And now it’s all on display.
