But a shotgun doesn't have the reach.
Which begs the question: Why sell us a tall tale?
It's the over and over and over about it that gets me ... friggin' Clown World.
It was probably an oversight when they were crafting the tale (Ghost of Kiev, anyone?), but most readers won't know a shotgun from sheep shit, so it'll gain traction it does not deserve anyhow.
Kinda like the tale of the nuclear plant that Russians are supposed to be occupying, "someone" is shelling, and everyone is pissing themselves over. If the Russians are occupying it, they sure ass hell aren't shelling themselves, so that leave only Ukrainians as the culprit. Instead of pissing themselves and pumping up the propaganda, why not just stop shelling it and solve that "dangerous" dilemma the easy way?
The entire shit-show is propagandistic smoke and mirrors. If the Ukraine was on the right side of it and an up-and-up "democracy" as advertised, they wouldn't have to make shit up.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
