There's a reason that the "Super Special Forces Seal Team 6 Tear Omega" were being sent to the front lines to be meat shields or sniper detectors, anybody bringing a cell phone couldn't have been in the military in a combat arms unit at any point in their lives.

Anybody "volunteering" to do this shit that doesn't see somebody official looking grabbing and smashing cell phones before crossing the border should have had a "oh shit" moment that nobody was taking them seriously and the people around them weren't taking this seriously.

I distinctly remember the OSINT data nerds in the early days smugly declaring that Ukraine will win the propaganda war because the Russian MoD aren't internet savvy and refuse to let their soldiers carry phones.

Turns out the Russian MoD were actually military professionals who valued their troops not getting turned to mush by cruise missiles over likes and retweets.

Two Russian soldiers are patrolling the Washington DC demilitarized zone.

One turns to the other and says: "You know Dimitri, I think we might be losing the information war."
