The Mainstream Media is full of stories about Russia supposedly "bullying" smaller nations, while Alt-Media never tires of talking about how the US is doing the same, but neither of them have yet to address the curious fact that two of the smallest actors in Europe have recently bullied Russia. Malta prevented Moscow from making military overflights to Venezuela, while Kosovo just attacked one of its UN staff members with impunity. Although both incidents were separately reported on in the Mainstream and Alternative Medias, they haven't been tied together as part of the same American-backed perception management plan to weaken Moscow's soft power. There's a prevailing notion that Great Powers are supposedly too strong to be bullied by small states, let alone an entity that Russia doesn't even recognize as "independent", but that line of thinking has been debunked after what Malta and Kosovo recently did to Russia, which makes Moscow look weak in the eyes of the world.
