But Scott is very smart, a straight shooter, and he HATES Trump and anything MAGA. So if anything, he's biased towards dems. But read for yourself, before commenting lol.
I also just wanted to see the Ukrainian Propaganda Team here explode their collective heads. You'll know them by A) not reading mthe article, and B)They will scream "Putin Stooge" without thought.
Pass the popcorn!
I read it, but as you know, only you people are allowed to yell fake news. If I was a reporter, the first thing I would ask is why wait to upload it? Maybe there is a reason. Also, maybe the mayor didn’t tour the city.
We will never know because this guy didn’t try and find out. Possibly because he has an agenda.
There is a massive amount of one sided reporting.
Anything which makes one side look good and the other bad is taken at face value as factual and true, repeated over and over, talked about by the MSM, by pundits, politicians and bureaucrats.
The other side gets deleted, no air time, nothing...
Most of it isn’t even based on anything factual: measurable, verifiable. It’s literally all arguments based on fallacies:
We have seen stories about girls with blue and yellow ribbons in their hair holding rifles, even how the Russians kill puppies...
https://youtu.be/-Gq5Gk_qZqg Argument of outrage, that’s all this is.
Our MSM is basically peddling soap opera junk off as news, and what is amazing is that the vast public consumes it. Covid was the same way, so was global warming (the farce that never ends)... When it’s emotions vs. reason, emotions usually win. When people do not have the facts on their side, they flee into the realm of fallacies...
The tragedy here is how ignorant and gullible the masses are. That they repeatedly fall for it - didn’t we just come out of Covid? And here we are with the same crap.
Where was this news when for the last 7 years you had Russian minorities mistreated in eastern Ukraine? Where is the news showing actual drone footage of Ukraine using residential areas and other protected sites as shields, parking their military vehicles next to them or using these to fight from?
This is garbage from a Trump-hating, Iraq-colluding, child-molesting traitor and propagandist.
Shame on you for posting this trash.
However, war is hell. It always has been and it will always have war crimes. Sherman's march to Atlanta was a series of war crimes designed to bring the horror of war home to the Confederacy. During the second Boer War “Rule 303” became quite famous.
War Crimes in WW2 among those who fought the Japanese in close combat were fairly common. At least my father's stories of being in two amphibious landings on Japanese held islands and the combat that followed, indicated that atrocities by Japanese soldiers were generally met with a no prisoner and death on sight policy in return. In fact the use of flame throwers and shooting those fleeing was considered by some as humane.
The fire bombing of Dresden and Japanese city civilian areas were likely war crimes. Of course they could hardly compare to what Imperial Japanese soldiers did to major Chinese and Pacific Island cities. There were war crimes in Korea and Vietnam. The Tribal and religious wars in Africa and the Middle East also have recently had lots of war crimes.
War can turn into a shark like feeding frenzy of blood. When people are killing each other violence can get out of hand quite easily. When it does, civilians are often caught up in the blood frenzy. It shouldn't, but it can and it does. That doesn't mean that there should not be rules associated with combat. That does not mean that serious war crimes should not be punished.
When I look at Ukraine and the government telling civilians to make Molotov cocktails and burn to death Russian troops and I see that the government has conscripted all males from 18 to age 60, I see a situation where any late teen or early 20 year old Russian conscript will be looking at any male whether armed or not as someone who might kill them.
I also remember reading where Ukrainian military members said that they would not give Russian artillery soldiers any quarter in the areas where civilian buildings and hospitals were shelled by artillery. I also remember a video which was suppose to be a Ukrainian soldier shooting a Russian POW soldier in the leg. I also saw stories in the press about Ukrainian women and grandmothers who were taking up arms and saying they would kill Russian soldiers. I recently read where Russian soldiers were ate poisoned bread and drank poisoned vodka given to them by Ukrainians.
Things are complicated and sometimes not clear. Who is a soldier and entitled to rights of surrender gets muddy when someone may have feed your friends poison or thrown a Molotov cocktail and burned to death your friends. The distinction between shooting a soldier, shooting a resistance fighter, and providing a loose form of self-defense against someone who may be a deadly threat can get muddy. Some things like rape, torture, killing of very young children or wounded are pretty clear.
My point is that I believe that war crimes were committed by Russian soldiers. I further believe that there have likely been war crimes by Ukrainian soldiers and civilians. I also believe that most of them should be punished to deter future war crimes by both sides. How that can be done fairly will be next to impossible.
Propaganda is an important part of war and of morale during war. I don't fault either side for their propaganda. I do feel that those who are not participants should be cautious in trying to separate fact from propaganda.
This quote is true for so many other issues these days. Regardless of this one.
Here’s a good place to start.
Cui Bono?
Who benefits? Do the Russians benefit by leaving behind a bunch of corpses of people who had obviously been bound before being executed and then blaming it on the Kiev government - or does the Kiev government/Globalist side benefit by doing so and blaming it on the Russians?
Who would the Western media be more likely to believe?
I think we all know the answer to these questions. This is extremely likely yet another false flag to try to get the West drawn into the war against Russia.
Besides....why were several of the corpses wearing white pro Russia armbands rather than blue pro Ukraine armbands? Did the Russians shoot their own supporters? Think for a minute.

You are so FULL OF CRAP. Just because:
1. The media FRAMES Russia on ‘collusion’ with Trump
2. The media FRAMES Russia on Wikileaks (Hillary campaign emails)
3. The media FRAMES Russia on Hunter’s Laptop
...gives you NO REASON to think that the media may be framing Russia on Ukraine, since the media NEVER lies to us, particularly about Russia.
In one of the videos I saw a “dead guy” was moving around as armored cars passed. Supposedly he had been dead for six weeks.
It’s a MIRACLE I tell ya!
interesting article, thanks
it’s always funny to see the usual trolls heads exploding.
rooskies being the first to ask for UN sec council investigation says a lot.
Surprise, surprise…
Newsflash: The media’s corrupt.
Newsflash: Ukraine is corrupt.
Newsflash — and apparently this is news to some: Russia shouldn’t be across the border on an unprovoked mission of death and destruction.
The first two newsflashes don’t mitigate the fact that Russia is destroying a country and killing innocent people — including their own.
I didn’t think we could top the Q folks here at Free Republic.
I was apparently very wrong…
