It wasn't meant to be a serious comment. I did say 'we can't'. Everyone has a say and that's how it should stay.
I do however object to unscrupulous politicians who feed the less well informed with blatant lies and a press who do the same in order to manipulate large swathes of the public. Politicians can basically say anything in a campaign truthful or not. We have rules about lying in advertising campaigns. Elections should be no different.
In Finland they teach children critical appraisal skills and how to spot fake news and lies in the media. We are so far behind but there's a reason for that.

I don't see how you can get to this conclusion at this point in time.

I'd like to agree and hope it were true but the reports that 'they're behind schedule' and running short of equipment and materials are just jumped up clap trap imo. Twitter in particular is nothing more than propaganda and fake news from both sides.

Have to see how the dust settles and see what actually transpired.

In fairness it's the MOD which has been reporting what he said there like. I'd believe what they're intelligence than the propaganda being posted by either Ukraine or Russia.
