      Which honestly shocks me a bit. We weren’t as isolated and cut-off as DPRK just recently. Surely people had at least seen Moscow on the internet?

          for real. 1 week of “oh shit they invaded for real, wait to know if they win immediately”, then 2-3 weeks of “lord zelensky is fighting for democracy” “russia is an evil country”, and they were all brainwashed before a month, and convicned ukraine would win after putin secretly agreed to withdraw troops from kiev as part fo the peace agreement which ukriane broke again.
