"Chaos". Yeah right.

They're going off this guy's quote:

A former Nato military chief said the unexplained delay was sign of ‘chaos behind the scenes’, with ‘real questions’ remaining over whether the Russian war machine was up to enforcing Putin’s plan.

I don't know if that's propaganda, but it's believable that if Putin wanted to announce the mobilization of 2 million reserves he might have been told it's not possible. I believe the 150,000-180,000 troops in Ukraine represent the largest mobilization the Russian Federation has ever done, and that didn't go smoothly.

Ah, a disinterested neutral observer with an insider's knowledge of what's going on in the Kremlin 😉

Honestly, they could have asked some high school quarterback or cheerleader and got a more credible response.

I don't know if that's propaganda

Of course its propaganda. Whether it's true, half-true, false, or utter bullshit its still propaganda.
