Credibility Zero

We’re being invited to believe that Russia’s failure to walk all over Ukraine isn’t Putin’s fault, it’s the fault of his minions, who daren’t tell him the truth. Not a line that will wash, given that he’s not subject to censorship and he can go on the WWW anytime he likes to find out what’s really going on.
    Once he’s waded through the morass of disinformation, of course.
