Yes, it's needed.

Though, this time they kinda fucked up. Like, of course, most libs are gonna bite, as usual. But for some of those that followed the ukraine narative closely enough, the sudden 180 of the narrative is gonna look sus. It's gonna make some peoples doubt of the western media narative for sure.

I expect that people who became the most invested in the narrative are the ones who will become the most angry when they finally start having to accept that they've been lied to because that involves admitting stupidity on their part. Turns out that there is propaganda in the west after all, and they fell for it while people who rejected propaganda were the ones with functioning brains all along. That's a hard pill to swallow for smug liberals who base their whole identity on being smarter than everyone else and dismissing others are Putler puppets who fall for Russian propaganda because they're stupid and gullible. The more the narrative unravels the more unhinged these people are going to get.

Unhinged in what way? I think it's gonna make a lot of them question western naratives, maybe we will see a wave of some of these peoples turning left in the comming month as the doubtfull start to dig and see just how much the west lie to their population, hopefully.

There could be a backlash when they realize they've been played for fools, but I expect in the short term they're just going to keep doubling down on ever more absurd claims about the state of the war. I'm expecting Qnon levels of absurdity.
