Russian state television goes off message by broadcasting criticism of war

Later during the broadcast of An Evening with Vladimir Soloviyev, one of Russian television's most-watched programmes, guest Semyon Bagdasarov, an academic, said: "Do we need to get into another Afghanistan, but even worse?”

He said that in Ukraine “there are more people and they’re more advanced in their weapon handling”, adding: “We don’t need that. Enough already."

The reference to Afghanistan, a conflict that scarred the Soviet Union and still scars Russia, was particularly poignant. The Soviet Union pulled out of Afghanistan in 1989, 10 years after it invaded, humiliated.

... police, they allowed it to anchor (***ANCHOR BIAS***) then didn't flood the message zone with truth about what the lies the GZP was telling.

Boom, a plurality of Americans don't want CRT taught in schools

The Russians and FAUX News exploit ***ANCHOR BIAS*** when it comes to human behavior to the nth degree.

Lies MUST be addressed with the truth in the volume the lies are told before they anchor in human thought
