Generally speaking, when a writer/editor/journalist is exposed as being used as a [[stooge]] to spread [[fake news]] and [[propaganda]], they get highly offended and take measures to insure it won't happen again. Not User:Conservative. He wears the badge of stooge as an honorific or accomplishment, and doubles down.

:<big>'''My rebuttal:'''</big> "According to data put out by the Russian Statistics Service 22.6 percent of Russian households aren't connected to a sewer system, most of them in rural areas. Russian commentators are divided about how vital an achievement modern toilets are." - [https://www.eurotopics.net/en/217691/what-do-outdoor-toilets-tell-us-about-russia# What do outdoor toilets tell us about Russia?], ''Euro Topics Press Review'', April 3, 2019

::Congratulations. You've graduated from being a [[geopolitical]] expert to being an expert on Russian toilets. Just as people remember where and what they were doing when [[Pearl Harbor]], the [[JFK]] assassination, and [[9/11 attacks]] occurred, you can always say, "I was studying Russian toilets when I heard the Eisenhower Supercarrier was hit with [[Kinzhal]] missile and we were at war with [[Iran]]."

I recently added this content and I will bold a portion for emphasis:

'''Indoor plumbing and sewage facts about Russia:'''

According to articles about the indoor plumbing and sewage system problem in Russia:
{{Cquote|First place: Russia has the [https://washmatters.wateraid.org/sites/g/files/jkxoof256/files/Its_No_Joke_2015_the_state_of_the_worlds_toilets.pdf largest population share] of any developed nation with no access to indoor plumbing 

Family values: 45% of Russian families with multiple children are not connected to centralized sewage systems

Fetid water: 88% of wastewater does not meet purification requirements, but gets dumped into Russian waterways nonetheless

'''Why are these numbers so high? It’s mainly due to endemic social issues: high poverty levels, the slow decay of rural villages, high tariffs placed on dwindling remote populations, and a lack of municipal rights are all contributing factors.'''<ref>[https://hromadske.ua/en/posts/russia-is-struggling-with-a-shitty-problem-literally Russia is Struggling with a Shitty Problem. Literally.]</ref>}}

And Russia's interest rate recently doubled to 15% and the ruble is turning to rubble (see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS4FOtzQo1o RUSSIAN Ruble Collapse Panic Continues as Russia DOUBLES Interest Rates to 15%]).

:Looks like you may have fallen for Russian propaganda hook, line, and sink (again):
::''[https://sonar21.com/why-the-united-states-military-is-clueless-when-it-comes-to-ukraine/ Where did they get the information that indicated the Russian armed forces were weak, poorly trained, weighted down with lousy morale, and lacking in adequate supplies of artillery shells and ammunition? My initial assumption was that this was a fabricated information op by Western intelligence. But I am now inclined to believe this was a Russian deception operation — Maskirovka. Given the robust NATO ISR capabilities that were shared freely with Ukraine, it would be virtually impossible for Russia to mask its troop and vehicle movements. Did the Russian General Staff feed the West bogus intelligence about the quality and competence of Russian forces in order to lull them into a false sense of security? That may be a more accurate explanation for the gross miscalculation of Western planners.]
