Russia better at controlling news.

More killings

Biden's iron clad support of Israel played a role too. Trump is just worse at manipulating public opinion, specially internationally.

Exactly, open support for a genocide under Biden was the turning point where the whole western narrative start to come apart. And then Trump proceeded to openly attack the vassals which soured opinion of the US even in western nations that used to be loyal as dogs.

Russia is considerably worse at it; their shit is obvious.

The American govt is a master at it; they've convinced Americana of the propaganda that they've publicly admitted to inventing due to the freedom of information act and yet Americans will defend the propaganda despite being able to find these foia admissions that disprove the propaganda just as easily as you can look at the Epstein files.
