I have actually approached this from a different angle, but have come to the same conclusion. Why the military jacket?It's a bit strange that an MP wears a military jacket. Interesting though - he seemed legit.
This 3 day war has showcased to the world, the effectiveness of the Russian war machine. Today, day 923, it occupies 20%* of Ukraine.If Mexico had invaded the US four weeks ago, no Mexican soldier would still be on US soil. Because the US is a military superpower.
If Vietnam had invaded China four weeks ago, no Vietnamese soldier would still be on Chinese soil. Because China is a military superpower.
Ukraine invaded Russia four weeks ago, and they’re still there. Which is interesting.
Yes. Could have been a visible reminder to their population that even their safe MPs are on a war footing because of the evil West.I have actually approached this from a different angle, but have come to the same conclusion. Why the military jacket?
My natural instinct is to not pay attention to what Russians say, but pay attention to what they do.
Everything is for a reason. Wearing a military jacket would have been a conscious decision, unless he habitually wears one. Was it a sign of solidarity with the Russian military?
Then again, it is conceivable that it was some weird form of propaganda. Maskirovka. I should have said, 'exercise caution' when viewing anything from Russia. I know you already knew that.
Worth a watch is an understatement.This is worth a watch https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m001zps2/the-zelensky-story

Kremlin, which we wouldn't otherwise see. Obviously keep your antennae out at all times, if you'll pardon the expression.
Just when you thought you had got your heads round Russian propaganda:
This is propaganda without mercy - the Russian state is said to be organising fake groups of soldiers' mothers and soldiers' widows, in an attempt to purportedly advocate on behalf of soldiers. This is a counter measure against real groups of soldiers' mothers and soldiers' widows who are organising, lobbying against Russian officers and bringing criminal prosecutions.
It is from 09:15 onwards, but for the historical context of the danger of returning conscripts (from the Russian-Afghan war), watch from 6:00 onwards.
