I know right? Must have been serious political pressure:

"But sir, our ISR show significant Russian fortifications and troops."

"Order Zelensky to attack anyway, or no more Coca Cola for him".

The whole point of propaganda is to make *other people* fall for it.

Falling for your own propaganda is just embarrassing.

"The russian army is just a bunch of conscripts dragged out of their communes and given a rifle"

We do not know if "decision makers" in Kiev, Brussels and Washington thinks so, or not.
