I wonder how long before the truth about the war in Ukraine can be told?

The truth is already getting out regarding Ukraine.

Americans are seeing it like a WWI style conflict. It's really none of our business. So we are washing our hands on our involvement in the war. And we are advocating for peace. Which is what we should have done since Day One.

Victoria Nuland and Samantha Power must be over there. Power has been in Hungary working on a color revolution against Orban in the past months.

Likely we will never get a whole truth and likely both sides have been horrible in the extreme. In WW2 there were captured Germans who were summarily executed by American soldiers in the field after surrender. Reportedly the cases were due to the inability to manage the soldiers.

Yes, it’s likely both sides have been horrible in the extreme. This started out as an ethnic civil war in 2014, and in many ways still is a sort of civil war, and ethnic civil wars are the ugliest, nastiest wars. And yes, we will never likely know the whole truth.

I can empathize with the Americans who shot those Germans if they weren’t able to quickly and easily transfer them to the rear to be held under guard. It’s hard to fight the enemy before you and shooting at you while trying to manage unruly enemy captives in your midst. It’s technically a war crime, but ... if you’re in the middle of a battle and the prisoners are endangering your life and the lives of your fellow soldiers ... what do you do? I’m glad I never had to face that choice.

Speaking of babies and propaganda, there was this heartbreaking photo of a burnt baby I was shown many times by people who probably believed what they claimed. It was usually claimed to be a Croat baby killed by Serbs or a Muslim baby killed by Serbs, but once it was claimed to be a Serb baby killed by Croats — all at various times and places. It was actually a Bosnian Muslim baby killed by Croats in Ahmići in the spring of 1993. I got so tired of that photo.

One difference is we have the internet, cell phones, social media now, so more information can get out. Footage posted by various Russian and Ukrainian units fighting in the war can be geolocated for verifucation, etc.

Of course there’s lots of propaganda on social media, too. Lots to sift through.

Another difference is we have learned how little we can trust our media, at least some of us have.
