They are manufacturing consent, and they don't even have to reach a very big audience because thanks to social media their bullshit spreads far and wide. It is why people at the top have become so comfortable lying blatantly.LST project has been planned as 2 + 2 (options). Lately Adik has released - off the recors - visuals of the new LST, mostly revisit of the original design with more turkish components.
Apart from that ssst is a big liar.
2 more LST until 2030 is a dream, and a big lie to soften sale of 2 I-Class, ADIK shipyard is booked with LCT, and 3 I Class (possibly with one or two I-Class being sold, they will append another 2 to latter years)
8 ADKG by 2030 is another big lie, even Dearsan got project as 2 + 2, we don't know ASFAT's deal.
3 Tepe until 2030 is another big lie
2 Minehunter by 2030 is challenging, note that TTHB and Mine hunter is prototype ships which the actual batch will be awarded after trials.
Armada in 5 years is nothing but a big lie, an ass licking attempt - greatest of them all.
No different than how yank conservatives get their marching orders from podcasters and Fox News; when you keep a watch over their safe spaces as closely as I do, you notice the pattern. Trump does something stupid or contrary to their belief, there are some grumbling and then they get their soundbites and lies from their echo chambers and they parrot what they are told, while attacking anyone pointing out different.
Outsourced thinking at its finest, works perfectly well with these cult of personality wankers in any country.
