        Yes actually. Face masks are very common in a large portion of Asia. Generally better efforts towards stopping illness + smog making air toxic at times have made them popular for awhile.

          Yes I understand that. My wife is from Asia, people do indeed wear masks. There seems to be a high amount of people wearing masks in this image. I can’t beleive that every single person on that image who is facing the camera is wearing a mask voluntary (except the big boss) outside of COVID restrictions.

          Perhaps that’s weak ground but this image looks old to me.

            It also looks old to me either way. This war has had a constant stream of old photos and videos resurfacing and pretending to be part of the current conflict.

            Its such a weird form of misinformation and I dont understand it.

    How long before war is conducted as an esport at a LAN event with an audience? Get sponsors. Monetization of the monetization of the colonial excursions (sic).
