2/2 Geniuses will also post articles from Newsweek here at FR with that article citing TASS for key information. I then bring up what TASS also said that day on other topics concerning Ukraine on similar key matters.
I then get LOL’d for bringing up TASS to which I then responded they are an idiot for LOLing me over that because their Newsweek article cites TASS and they essentially can’t have it both ways.
Oh well...
There is the concept of testimony against interest. If an enemy propaganda outlet admits a setback it is inherently more credible than the usual narrative if triumph.
Hence the interest in Tass.
As a general concept in following the news, read everything, the truth is out there, it just needs the skills of an open source analyst to tease out likely vs unlikely situations.
It’s enough to make your head spin, indeed.
Well, at the very least, you fully and without reserve condemn proven Russian troops atrocities in such places Buch, Irpin, Kramatorsk, Mariupol, Kherson, Chernihiv as over the last year or so (usually when fleeing and out of drunken spite) .
Right?
