There's a lot of propaganda coming out of everywhere right now. I don't know that I've ever seen this much information jamming going down before. I am having a hell of a time trying to pick apart what's true and what's lies right now. Usually you can just watch the news, and then check /pol/ to verify all the lies, but this seems to have extended to all information channels. Everything is jammed.
Doesn't help that even some of our trusted channels have turned into full blown pro-Ukraine propaganda seemingly out of nowhere. I dunno if it's the information climate making it hard for even those guys to find the truth, or if they're simply picking up the cause this time.
It's nuts. I've following this since it started. I've been using here, Twitter, Reddit, multiple news sources and people. The only thing I can can be 100% certain of is there are Russians, Ukrainians and they might be shooting at each other.
I'm in Poland, there is definitely a war next door. There are definitely refugees streaming across the border. Who is doing what in the war is much harder to tell. It looks like the russians are pushing forward through heavy resistance and that Czerników is being flattened. I don't know much else.
"fog of war" seems to have cropped up as a buzzword over night too. I'm wary of its use. It seems to be cementing the idea that during wartime it is impossible to know things, which has some troubling implications.

this is the end result of a multi state information effort.
its going to take quite a while to sort through all this propo- may be even years.
