Putin certainly leaves much to be desired but I don’t trust the McCainiacs, Kinzingers, etc, who are egging for a No-fly zone as that leads to a confrontation with Russia directly as Russia will counter with their no fly zone and neither side will hold to what the other side says.
FB, Twitter, etc, largely allow you to see what they want you to see and you’ll hear quite a bit of Orange Man Bad, Straight Man Bad, White Man Bad, etc.
Places like the Epoch Times, Gateway Pundit, Tim Pool, Breitbart, etc, are castigated as being Putin supporters if they say “It looks like this is true, it looks like this is Russian propaganda, it looks like this is Main Stream Media propaganda against Russia.”
We’ve been fed a ton of propaganda like Snake Island, Ghost of Kyiv, pics of men leaving so-called wives and heading off to war, etc.
When we see ladies on TV holding a child saying the world is coming to an end, the soldiers are killing everyone head for the hills or we see articles on the web of a mom saying they live in such and such town, that town is under attack, and yet somehow they know 10 out of 20 tanks were destroyed, why should we believe what we are hearing or seeing from the Main Stream Media?
“…why should we believe what we are hearing or seeing from the Main Stream media?”
I agree, and refuse to take their bait.
In general you should not believe what the Main Stream Media says without independent evidence.
There is plenty of information available from local sources in Ukraine. Google translate is your friend. There is a lot of fighting and indiscriminate bombing and shelling of civilians.
Exactly - the “pacifist” Dems are being gaslit into military conflict. Why gaslight the Dems? Because, as we have seen with Covid, they are stupid and gullible.
