Do I read the latest news correctly? All of a sudden, since this morning, #Turkey’s publicized goal to transfer 2+ Million #Syrian refugees to #Syria, has “Dropped” to 1 Million. All headlines today give this “1 million” as the magic number, instead of the orig 2+ mil.
Is this - tactic to massage audience with 1 Million, then slowly make that half a million, so that when the final deal is in for let’s say only 100K, people won’t express shock & Buy into “Mission Accomplished” Line On #Syria Op? Just Asking😉
Here’s the link to another news article massaging the viewers on 1 Million: ”#Turkey to send back to 1 mn refugees to #Syria: #Erdogan, Middle East News” newkerala.com/news/read/2294…
As we know “perception management” is more than half of today’s war strategies. Get people warned up to 1 mil as the “intended objective” then “half a million” then ... By the time they get to see the actual results in 10s of thousands they’ll buy into “Mission Accomplished”?
