Putin's getting nervous about Russia's sinking economy

[stopdiggin]

4. reporting on a war is pretty tricky business

for the simple reason that a LOT of information (event some seemingly fairly mundane) IS consider military and strategic. Who is where on a map? Are they moving? Are they being attacked? How often? What kind of armament? What is the mood? To command (and thus to the state) it's all sensitive.

So - Wagner group? If you're reporting on anything more detailed than what kind of shoelaces they're wearing ...

And then you have the fact that Putin's Russian is a fascist dictatorship. And also known for jailing dissidents, journalists, political opponents - and strategic foreign 'hostages.'
