RIA Novosti called for beginning a nuclear bombardment of the Baltic states.

RIA Novosti called for beginning a nuclear bombardment of the Baltic states.

However, a couple of hours later, as if suddenly ashamed, RIA deleted that call and hypocritically scraped and bowed.

Let me explain.

This is an old trick practiced by media outlets all over the world, including impeccably respectable ones.

On instructions from management, some especially vile scandalous material is planted.

Then monitoring and

counting begin.

When the number of reposts, screenshots, copies, and citations reaches the required level, the scandalous item is deleted (often with an indignant, apologetic, or condemnatory remark).

(This is called “washing it off.”)

There is no longer any need for the text to remain on the site. It has spread and “gone viral.”

A scandalous item is not supposed to stay up for long.

Especially a bloody-patriotic one posted “on direct instruction.”

Fans of the “Russian world” are exultant. They have long been waiting for a report that the Russian Federation will finally unzip the fly of its great-power trousers and show the world the head of its nuclear dick.

Is such information a real dream and plan of the Kremlin?

Undoubtedly. The population of the Russian Federation is slowly being accustomed to the inevitability of such an outcome. And it really is the actual “endpoint” of Putinism. No matter how you look at it, nothing else is visible.

“Accidental publication” in the 100% FSB-controlled RIA outfit is out of the question. The Kremlin’s cretinism is boundless.
