Watching TV shows or movies that display Russia as a military superpower is almost surreal nowadays. (lemmy.world)

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

I recently saw the Rambo movies for the first time, and yeah I laughed about how they portrayed the russians.

Really goes to show that perception management is an effective strategy as long as thats all you do.

Yeah, but isn't that American propaganda?

We needed a bbg to justify our actions. I'm not saying it was out of nowhere, but the scale of the thing certainly played well for certain politicians.
