Nails in space. Russian propaganda has descended into delirium

All the Kremlin servants are very much looking forward to what Putin will say in his address to the Federal Assembly. They are very afraid

Hysteria continues in Russian TV studios in anticipation of NATO weapons. Russian propagandists are looking for ways to make it clear to the West that these are very red lines. And what to do about it.

Traditional recipes for striking decision-making centers have proven to be ineffective. Deputy Gurulyov outed everyone and said that the missiles currently being produced in Russia are not enough to effectively bypass the Ukrainian air defense system, which, as every Simonyan knows, was destroyed a year ago*. Now, almost the main task for the Russian military-industrial complex is to dramatically increase the production of all types of missiles. But it seems to be far behind schedule.

And it is precisely because Russia is losing in conventional weapons that these wild talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons are taking place. Out of hopelessness. Therefore, treat the yells about Russia's successes on the frontlines with double skepticism. There, reports are outpacing real actions. And their fake news are so blatant – a Turkish newspaper citing the Mossad (oh, my!) – that even Solovyov** recites them without looking up from the floor.

“It is precisely because Russia is losing in conventional weapons that these wild talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons are taking place. Out of hopelessness”

There are unconventional recipes. Like scattering nails in space – this is nonsense from their vice speaker of the State Duma, keep that in mind. Another unconventional recipe is to arm terrorists around the world. And this is being said right on federal TV channels.

The main conclusion from all that I have seen is that the entire Kremlin staff is eagerly awaiting what Putin will say in his address to the Federal Assembly. They are very afraid. They hope that he will frighten the US so much, that it will be something so undeniable and eloquent. But at the same time, no one really believes that the US will take it seriously. That's why no talk show is complete without someone speculating on what a defeat for Russia might look like.

“All the Kremlin servants are eagerly awaiting what Putin will say in his address to the Federal Assembly. They are very afraid”

We have a rat that is gradually feeling cornered. So they will throw everything and everyone they can into the war. If we destroy all that and survive it with dignity, later it will get easier.

*At the early stages of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian media reported fake news on the alleged total destruction of Ukrainian air defense systems. Margarita Simonyan is the editor-in-chief of the propaganda Russia Today channel and a top Kremlin propagandist.

**Vladimir Solovyov is a Russian TV host and the Kremlin's chief propagandist.
