Good question admittedly

So I ask you ought six

Why do you now believe our media ?
After decades of lies and the u precedented lies and assault on trump and his supporters

And the refusal to report news that defies their narrative

Now on Ukraine folks here quote

Washpo
The nation
Nyt
Daily beast
CNN
MSNBC

And so on

You rightfully lament someone using a leftist site

So why do you and other Z fans?

“You rightfully lament someone using a leftist site. So why do you and other Z fans?”

First off, I have NEVER started a thread, linked or not.

Secondly, I have said on several occasions here on FR that propaganda is rife on both sides.

And I find it odd that so many alleged “American patriots” readily support a country that has been hostile to the United States and its interests for 100 years, except when it needs the United States (as it did in WWII after 1941’s Barbarossa).

I also find it amusing that the pro-Russia and pro-Putin FReepers who routinely vilified Western media (and not necessarily without good reason) will cite those same media when the story or article is favorable to their cause.

Do you think TASS is objective? Pravda? RT? Any .ru source?

You are pro-Russia vis-a-vis the war in Ukraine. I get that. Thus, you support the unwarranted invasion by a larger and stronger country of its smaller and weaker neighbor; you support a bully. I don’t.

Russia is a bully, and always has been. Hell, Russia is a classic bully: Insecure and paranoid. And bullies will continue to bully until they are stopped; and it usually doesn’t take a hell of a lot to stop them. Why? Because bullies are basically cowards, who prey on those smaller and weaker than they; and they don’t expect resistance, or the prospect of someone actually fighting back.

It’s as simple as that. If China invaded Russia based on similar flinty excuses as those propounded by Putin, I’d be supporting Russia. Why? Because China is a bigger bully than Russia, and China is a greater threat to the United States than Russia is.
