Does anyone here actually believe the Ghost of Kyiv is real?

If you do I'm sure you also believed Iraq had WMDs, the Arab Spring was grassroots and Assad was gassing his own people
Grifters are already milking the gullible for $$$ selling ghost of kyiv apparel
Propaganda really does work

Iraq didn’t have WMDs?
I guess all those people who got gassed in the 80s and 90s just had a psychosomatic reaction then.

No you assclown, it's just good for morale. Let me guess, the CIA put this out there so that we will gain sympathy for Ukraine and put boots on the ground. Take the rest of the night off

I’m still not convinced that Ukraine is the target, but just a distraction for something huge….

As in one mythical pilot going all Red Baron…. No. More of a propaganda tale to pump up morale from some of their air victories as a unit.

slow and arrogant will destroy this country. Don’t be slow and arrogant

I do not. However legends are kind of a part of the fog of war so it’s nothing new and it can be inspiring.

He’s definitely no Edwin LaVigne………

The Mig doesn’t even carry enough weapons to down the six aircraft reported. Maybe it’s 2-3 fighter jets but it’s definitely not one pilot.

The Snake Island story is fake also.

If my small military outpost was being told to surrender to a battleship, I’d get 9/10s of my team to wave a white flag, and have a sniper ready to start shooting when the Russians came ashore to take prisoners. Ambush them!
Seems a waste to just get blown up without causing any damage to the enemy.

This has been an important part of every war in the history of the world. It doesn’t matter if he’s real or not. It rallies the people and gives them hope. The Ukraine is also claiming they’ve killed like 3000 Russian soldiers.

This.
6 air-to-air kills in this day and age is basically impossible, especially with the jets at play here. But it's still a cool story and will probably inspire some Ukrainians to fight, assuming it actually made it there.
They're actually patrolling the skies above with those fighters flying overhead in Ukraine, there's multiple legit news sources reporting that Russia still hasn't achieved air dominance. Put yourself in the shoes of an average Ukrainian citizen on the ground watching and hearing these badass fighters overhead, you'd be inspired by the thought of one brave pilot with the skills to take them all on and win.
That's what all of Ukraine is basically holding onto at this point, the underdog overcoming the big baddie through skill and determination.
I don't believe it one iota, but I understand why it has taken hold.

No. But who cares? Both sides are putting out propaganda. It's been part of war for a very long time. Everyone is guilty of it at one time or another.

Correct. And that's why Zelensky is on social media dressed in military gear. It's inspiring when you think your leader is in the shite with you.
But eventually they are going to murder him and his family.

Better question. Why would I, as an American, give a shite?
Posted on 2/26/22 at 12:12 am to goldennugget
Jesus…I mean, I don’t know but how exhausting must it be to literally not believe anything?

But they did. We found them. That isn’t the “we” as in US, but as in “we” I know who the frick found them, lol.
Years later the NYT actually admitted it.

Somewhat true. I know because I did a shite ton of HUMINT analysis. It was fueled by MB.
quote:
Assad was gassing his own people
This is very true. It was gas mixed with giant arse fuel bombs. Nasty shite. I was literally fuel and agents exploding over people. Again, I did a bunch of analysis. Specialized in the Levant and Middle East in general.
