Resources are always limited. Something, for the most part, Putin doesn't have to worry about. Especially since the free world doesn't give a fuck about it.

Here's a good article from Glenn Greenwald about the Ukraine situation. Right or wrong, he and and Sharyl Attkisson are at the top of the short list of journalists I believe.
Western Dissent from US/NATO Policy on Ukraine is Small, Yet the Censorship Campaign is Extreme

It's a long read. A few teasers:

Any platform devoted to offering inconvenient-to-NATO news or alternative perspectives is guaranteed a very short lifespan.

So prolific and fast-moving is this censorship regime that it is virtually impossible to count how many platforms, agencies and individuals have been banished for the crime of expressing views deemed "pro-Russian.”

Western news outlets and social media platforms have been flooded with pro-Ukrainian propaganda and outright lies from the start of the war.

One can spread as many lies and as much disinformation as one wants provided that it is designed to advance the NATO agenda in Ukraine (just as one is free to spread disinformation provided that its purpose is to strengthen the Democratic Party, which wields its majoritarian power in Washington to demand greater censorship and commands the support of most of Silicon Valley). But what one cannot do is question the NATO/Ukrainian propaganda framework without running a very substantial risk of banishment.

Agree. Greenwald, though a blatant liberal, seems to be a true journalist and tells it like it is regardless of the politics. he’s quite good. I disagree with much of his politics, but I respect his opinion and tend to agree with much of what he writes.
