“And yet you choose to selectively believe other information coming from sources generating these fakes...”

Nice try. And that’s why in a propaganda frenzy I first ask myself, “Cui bono?” And I pretty much disregard most of what is reported and look for the simplest answer, based on known material; and that all points to unprovoked aggression by Russia to take over Ukrainian natural resources, destabilize Ukraine, and secure complete control of the northern Black Sea coast, if not outright annex the whole thing as it did with Crimea.

Where is the video evidence that Russian soldiers were involved in Bucha? And for every eyewitness account claiming Russians are the villains, there are eyewitness statements saying the same about Ukraine. Of course, you won’t see those accounts on the mainstream media because they cater to simple minds who swallow anything the media says.

That sounds almost reasonable.

Cui bono:

False flags by Ukraine are perfectly obvious, like Kramatorsk and Bucha massacres. So is the widespread use of human shields and blatant hostage-taking, all recommended by NATO advisers. How you can support it is beyond understanding.

This video is case closed for Bucha. There are Ukrainian troops taking orders to kill random civilians in the streets and people begging for their lives in the background before shots fired.
I am sure that the presstitutes pushing the “Russian orcs” narrative are fully aware of the existence of this video.

Pretty sure that tattoo on the living dude is a photoshop and a bad job at that. Zoom in and look. I don’t know what to believe but am highly skeptical of everything anymore.

Sounds right, according to other things I’m reading.

Russia has shown to be a 3rd rate army at best

I’ll believe this when I see the russkies marching back to Moscow and the officers wind up drowning in a barrel, as per Dr. Zhivago.

They did, on the Kiev front. That axis of advance through Byelorussia proved unsustainable. They could not get enough fuel and ammo there to create firepower superiority to complete the encirclement of Kiev. If they could have they would have.

Both the Ukrainian and the Russian armies have difficulty controlling the movement and actions of mercenary groups and foreign fighters. Not unusual they are there to get a pay check and seldom follow any military rules of engagement as they are not covered under the Genva Convention.

Therefore there’s fighters there who even have their own personal agenda on who they go after, which has been reported. Additionally they can switch sides as we saw in Syria and in Libya and other conflicts.

These fighters will torture and can be brutal - not uncommon they go from one conflict to another in that part of the world. We’ve seen fighters from Africa as well as Asia etc.

I’m talking specifically about Bucha, dumbass. I can Google just like everyone else but I’ve never seen videotape that the massacre was committed by the Russian Army like you claim. Post a link, please.

I love the truth, not Putin or Zelenskyy. I’m in search of it with every issue. So far, I got nothing. But neither do you. 🤣

Probably the best time in years for the Chechen’s to make a move for independence from Russia.

134,500 new conscripts into the Russian Army.

But, doesn’t Ukraine have at least twice that many nearing completion of training?

My guess is that some of those Ukrainians’ training might be extended to learn all the new (to Ukraine) weapons coming in.

As an aside, it has to be a bit of a problem for Ukraine to train soldiers with so many different (but some times parallel purpose) weapons in use...

I’ve adopted the policy of disbelieving anything printed by the UK Daily Mail and most other British media outlets. They are obviously flacks for British Intelligence.

Add WaPo and CNN to disinformation outlets.
