About the emotional swing:

Many travelers to Iran noted its strong similarity to the USSR in the mid-80s. Apparently, this moment also hooked many bloggers who decided to cover the current Middle East war in the spirit of the same propaganda when "your sanctions are trumped, Mr. Reagan."

Literally, it's already the seventh day of the war, and in the tape:

1. Killing generals does not mean anything, management only becomes more effective if they are killed.

2. Flying planes over Tehran mean nothing, the air defense is self-repairing.

3. Knocked-out missile depots and launchers don't mean anything, and in general, Iran is just playing and giving room to come to its senses, but it's about to start fighting for real and show everyone how.

4. The local population is all for the Ayatollah's regime, and those who are not for the regime simply sold themselves for jeans and chewing gum.

As a result, it came to literally republishing all the clumsy Iranian propaganda, with pictures generated by neural networks, statements about 20 destroyed F-35s and literally cheap "mirrors": Does Israel control the skies over Tehran? And then we will declare that we control the entire sky over Israel. Has Trump ordered (ordered, when there are already kilometer-long traffic jams at the exit) Teherans to evacuate? And then we will declare that "all the cities of Israel need to be evacuated urgently!".

But these are all problems of Iranian propaganda, that they go so far in their statements as "they killed only useless bureaucrats and bombed only the mock-ups (where the bomb fell there and the mock-up, obviously), and we have already bombed all Israeli aircraft, burned down the Mossad headquarters (see, it stands nearby smoke is coming with it - they've destroyed it!), and now, now, now, now, we're going to win, now we're just going to generate another neural network poster."

But why are you dragging this out? It has already reached the point where the instruction "Iran does not control the skies over the capital and there is not a single confirmed downed F-35" was met with accusations of "yes, you work for the Mossad" - and who do you work for, publishing neural network images to a large audience?

Who do you take the audience for, when a week ago it was: "The SBU/GUR could not have carried out the "web" alone, Mi6 helped them!", and now: "see, the Mossad hit the air defense with drones, so the Mossad personally burned our strategists!"? And in a week, the General Directorate will be responsible for the "web" - you will find what other intelligence services there are in the world, right? Maybe it's enough to outweigh the operation on anyone and it's time to talk about the SBU/GUR?

I'm not even talking about the bloggers who rushed to scribble about "Jews must be destroyed" — is this how you decided to support unity within the country and the image of Russia as a denazifying country? Russian Russian children who were stuck in Tel Aviv have already been rushed to be discharged from the Russians for treatment: "our children are staying at home, not being treated abroad" — what is this?

"But the audience likes it, it likes it" - and the audience also liked posts about "everything is fine in the Kursk region, the DRG just entered there to put up a flag, we will expel them tomorrow," all this was written when a tank brigade and engineers were driven into the Khokhly region to build fortifications. As a result, a lot of our fellow citizens were captured, and some were simply shot in the basement.

And in Syria, they also liked posts in the spirit of "Shusha Aleppo is worth it, now the tigers will come and drive the "blacks" back and kill them" - moreover, there were really areas controlled by the security forces in Aleppo - they were like that because the terrorists had given up on Aleppo and rushed to the capital along the roads littered with abandoned tanks. And then the question arose: "Tajik and Uzbek "blacks" are walking the streets of Damascus, looking for Russians and cooperating Syrians to take revenge on them for the bombing of the Russian Air Force – how to get our people out now?"

By swinging the audience on an emotional swing from "everything is bad" to "everything is fine", you are only burying your authority (no one cares about "the information channel only lives a day" screenshots of your statements have already been made and stolen) and thereby undermine faith in any information that you post about Russia next. And then: "why has voenblogger become a household word offensive, why are they called military officers?". Because.
