The SMOG of War: Propaganda, Pundits, and Putin

<p>Charlie breaks down the ongoing coverage surrounding the war in Ukraine outlining exactly what we know, and what we don't know about what's actually happening in Ukraine. The key is understanding that this is first and foremost a war of propaganda. As the punditry class attempts to weigh in and make sense of this ongoing war, it's clear that there is no consensus reached. Some believe Putin is losing and is deeply frustrated by a lack of progress. Others believe that it's only a matter of time before Putin's forces take over Kyiv and the rest of Ukraine. Charlie separates fact from fiction, and explains why even as Ukraine is outmanned and outgunned, they are currently winning the propaganda war, rallying the world's great western powers around their fight. What does history teach us about such wars?
