Because it feeds into peoples biases. Some people WANT Russia to have made stuff like this just so that they can hate them just a little harder than before, and the fact (which should be obvious to anyone with a brain) that this random twitter user dropping propaganda might not really be getting real Kremlin info, will be completely ignored by people with higher IQ levels than you'd imagine, because the need for hate overrules common sense.

It's almost like Russia illegally invading a country and the behaviour of its troops isn't enough for some people, they need to continually find more things to hate about them, irrespective of how silly it seems to the rest of us.

Its not like Russian propaganda hasn't threaten the West and the UK with nuclear strikes enough times. You are talking like its not something they've already done. We're still waiting for the nuclear tsunami though.
 
Not that I watch much UK news, but viewing recently I was quite shocked to see this war was over and done with ;)

Ironic the Russians try to claim their missiles travels at Mach 20

Maybe it's Mach 20 for a couple seconds after it blows itself into shrapnel just after leaving the launcher. They're lucky the thing didn't fall straight down and blow up another one of their nuclear submarines

I prefer him in his comedy "man o' war" fatigues to be honest:D

I don't see why anyone would think this makes him less impressive. Not only is he an inspiring war leader, but he's a genuinely hilarious satirical comedian (seriously, watch Servant of the People), and a man who can dance without taking himself seriously. Is there no end to his talents?

I have to agree with this.

My understanding is that the Russians wrongly assumed he would flee the country when this kicked off.

When you look at the state of the recent batch of PMs we have in the UK, it makes his leadership all the more remarkable.
 
I was for the most part way to young to remember the Soviet Union and the Cold first person (Born in 84). However I reckon it wasnt much different, granted there wasnt as much access to information back then. When you look back at the paranoia of the "Red Threat" back in the 60's/70's and to some extent the 80's, "Commies" were the big bad boogie man of the time, especially when you look at USA. The media, entertainment from that era just fed into peoples fears, again not that different from whats happening these days.

The only good commie is a dead commie. Mind you back in the sixties and seventies were pretty sure who the commies were. The Soviet Union, Communist China, North Vietnam and North Korea. Not forgetting Cuba and other bits of South and Central America.

Nowadays everyone is a capitalist whether they admit it or not. We have to assess all the dictators to see if they are better off dead or not.

Much as I hate to go there, in reality there has been very little genuine communism in the work and instead quite a lot of dictatorships and totalitarian repression. The machinery of the USSR/Russian state was rather more focused on protecting itself from all perceived threats (internal and external) than actually delivering any sort of workers utopia.

That's what real-world Communism is. There isn't another form of Communism outside of the imagination.

It was a little tongue in cheek and obviously George Orwell nailed it in Animal Farm so yes virtually nobody was an actual egalitarian communist. However the Soviet Union was (unfairly) percieved as such and hoodwinked a good few of our intelligentsia, politicians and union leaders into thinking they were.
