Despite 21st century communications technology, mainstream news media ignore Russia's war against Ukraine. WWII was covered by radio and newsreels. The Vietnam War – broadcast TV. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait – cable TV. News about Russia's invasion of Ukraine is embargoed. Insane.
War reportage has disappeared. People follow me on Twitter to find out about #PutinAtWar but what I write is just a tiny drop of water in a vast information desert. We live in greatly diminished times.
The Vietnam War was complex but people could be informed. They heard terms like Viet Cong and Ho Chi Minh trail and and knew what they meant.
#RussiaInvadedUkraine but most people don’t know about the Cyborgs, the DPR/LPR, the Joint Forces Operation or anything about the war.

For the sake of public education:
"Cyborgs" is the name Ukrainians gave to their soldiers who defended Donetsk airport.
"DPR" & "LPR" are the names of Russian-created terrorist groups in Donbas.
"Joint Forces Operation" is the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbas since 2018.

“Cargo 200” is another term people should understand about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It refers to the removal of dead Russian soldiers from the battlefield.
“Cargo 200” is the equivalent of “going home in a body bag.” The Putin regime makes reporting casualties a crime.
