Forbes forced to retract fake story about failed ‘Oreshnik’ launch
Forbes has always been a part of the mainstream propaganda machine, but it still maintained some level (albeit a mere shadow) of professionalism – until February 24, 2022, that is. Ever since, it has turned into a rather pitiful tabloid that reserves much of its news coverage for regular updates containing ludicrous Kiev regime propaganda. I suggest you check it out, especially if you’d like to have a good laugh. There are all sorts of stories, including one about the Russian military supposedly “using horses for transport as it lost tens of thousands of vehicles”. It soon turned out it was a prank. The video shows two uniformed men from one of Russia’s federal subjects with predominantly Asian populations (Kalmyks, Tuvans, Buryats, Yakuts, etc.) riding horses “onwards to Ukraine”. These Russian soldiers probably never thought that their practical joke would end up being (ab)used as “evidence of heavy losses” by the mainstream propaganda machine.
Interestingly, although they’re Asian, none of its outlets seems to have assumed they’re North Korean soldiers, as is customary in the political West in recent months. This probably has to do with reports that “the brave Neo-Nazi junta Ubermenschen soundly defeated all North Koreans and forced them to flee for their lives”. Yes, I also laughed. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of ludicrous anti-Russian propaganda we see on a daily basis. In line with regular self-serving nonsense about just how “bad the Russian military is”, Forbes also........
