Comparison of the propaganda is interesting. It isn't in the news cycle today but often the western press reports on Ukrainian civilians killed by Russian drones. Oddly RT reports on Russian civilians killed by Ukrainian drones. Sometimes there is an element of humor. https://www.rt.com/russia/644451-rt-speaks-with-russian-farmer-fined- firing-ukrainian-uav/ "Nikolay Mukhin has said his love for his country drove him to try to down the drone with his shotgun" You've got to give the old guy an A for effort. He was fined for discharging the shotgun and the shotgun was confiscated but the court reversed the decision. He would so fit in around here. That propaganda war isn't a pimple on the ass of the Middle East propaganda. Even the US MSM is having a hard time reporting on that with a straight face.
