Who is to say this is not Russian propaganda to clean Russia up.I do know Russia is killing civilians and destroying cities. That is bad enough.

There's a **** ton of propaganda and when it's all said and done, MSM is going to lose all credibility. They know this and are trying to backpedal right now by actually publishing articles that show Russia actually winning.
But they've accomplished their mission. They got their ratings, the MICC got to push their war agenda, got $50B to pass, and got to villainize and isolate Russa/Putin.

Their minds are made up and there is no changing them....a very dangerous place to be.

They need to ask themselves..."Did Gulf of Tonkin really happen ?" 10 years at war over that one

The USS Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, WMD.
Propaganda is one of the US' most deadly weapons.

And many of our adventures in the "ME" were justified - like the move to rescue Kuwait from Iraq. But then, as usual, we turned the country back over to the rightful owners and left.
A weaker USA never made anyone safer. But a weaker Russia will.

LMAO, are you serious?


A strong USA is the reason why the world is in a constant state of war and conflict.
The US MICC needs foreign enemies to justify their existence. Ask Eisenhower.

Define "our government". We did install puppet regimes all over.

Many were justified? n=1 (Kuwait) is not many.

Well, the left needed to create a good vs evil narrative for ratings, refusing to believe that both sides are pretty awful.

It is: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ian-propaganda

I mean, “Tyler Durden”? It’s like they think their readers are so stupid, they can basically flaunt the fact that their stuff is fiction and the boneheads who believe it won’t notice.

Yes.

That's what it looks like.

So they were hitting a lot of civilians in the process, and then tried to pass the whole thing ( all those dead bodies) as "Russians orchestrated the mass murder of the innocent civilians."
I am sure that SOME died as the result of the Russian actions too, but it was definitely NOT what Ukrainian propaganda made out of it.


Quote:
There is a number of travel vloggers who entered UKR and made it to Kyiv. Like Johnny FD and Olga Reznikova both of whom were actually living in the Kiev metro before this started. They show the bombed residential buildings. But they are all highly visible from the main roads they are driving on and filming from. This lead me to believe that UKR must have been using these high rises as firing positions, and observation posts. It gives them a clear line of sight to the main road which the RU forces likely using.

Here is Indigo Traveler. He is a very well known travel vlogger. He even went into Venezuela too after their economy "collapsed". Here you can see all the damages right from the road. Perfect position for volley firing

That's precisely how/why Mariupol was destroyed.

Ukrainian troops used those high rises for these purposes.

They were literally kicking residents out from apartments and taking over them.

Obviously LDNR/Russian troops had to respond and to keep fighting in those residential areas.

With that being said, Ukrainian troops mined the roads leading to/from Mariupol, keeping residents in and shooting them, when they were trying to flee.

( They let some out first, running into Ukraine's direction; apparently they were considered loyal to regime.)
The rest were used as the live shield.
That's why Mariupol was such a disaster, such loss of life and total destruction - because of these factors, and not because Russians were doing it intentionally - targeting civilians or residential districts, as Ukrainian propaganda wanted everyone believe.



I already posted city of Svetlodarsk for comparison - Ukrainian troops left it without fight, so the city ( and population) was spared.

Ukrainian army retreated from Severodonetsk pretty fast too, so the city seems to be intact as well; judging by this latest video.

But Ukrainian propaganda keeps on pushing the narrative that it's the Russians that want to destroy the cities and to kill civilians.
