Maybe it's because we've been drowning in propaganda for the last five years. Or maybe it's because the world is paying more attention this time than when Putin crashed into Crimea. Or maybe the Russian trolls have just lost their touch.

The world has coalesced around the Ukrainian cause. Even the Russian people are on their side. Zelensky is becoming a global hero of mega proportions. The only people buying into this stuff are the White Nationalists, the haters, the minority.

As for Putin? The world is seeing the man for who and what he is--a crazed thug flailing, shouting, killing. Out of control.
