It’s sad…one of my coworkers is Indian and watches news streamed straight from India. They say the reporting on the war is so different it’s almost like they are talking about completely different events.
Fuck you, Liz Cheney and your ilk.
Also, the very end of the article opened my eyes to a conflict which has resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands, leaving millions of innocents to suffer in the (mostly unreported) greatest humanitarin crisis of our times in Yemen. Can someone provide a brief explanation of the war between Saudi Arabia and Yeman? The author in this article concludes by pointing out we? In the west are not being sanctioned (as are the Russian population for Putin's actions against Ukraine) for our leaders responsibility for the attrocities happening in Yeman or for that matter in any number of conflicts we've been engaged in for years in the middle east.
And both sides have committed lots of atrocities most likely.
I'm not saying I believe that. I'm saying that I largely don't know what to believe.
Glosses over essentially that little "invasion" of Crimea.
Glosses over the little green men in Donbas since 2014? Ish. "Only 50 foreign fighters" sure.gif
Putin is demilitarizing the Ukraine! Ok, so your invading a sovereign country to defeat its military. Pretty classic communist rebranding there.
Maybe I didn't get to the good part but he took a long time getting there and at some point I've had my fill of rehashed Kremlin talking points.
@RatherBeBrewing will probably be more willing and motivated to post a tequila style takedown.

His handlers don't want the cesspool of Ukrainian corruption to see the light of day in the US MSM. They like having dementia puppet boy in the White House.
Mitt and John Kerry don't either.
Either way, it's not mutually exclusive that our leadership is corrupt and so is Russia's.
They are more similar than dissimilar and neither is good.
There’s no nice way to say this, but if anyone believes this assclown they are either very dim or are just looking for a source that confirms what they want to believe. I’m dumb for having read it, and even dumber for bothering to write the shit below.
Look at Baud’s articles and interviews. Special military operation this, special military operation that. That’s to avoid Russia’s new laws, where you can’t call their invasion a war. That should be a dead giveaway every time.
Denazification, Russian speaker genocide, THE Ukraine, speaking about the tiny parcels of two oblasts as if they are legitimate republics. Trying to explain the ass kicking in Kyiv as the original plan, and all those dead Russian soldiers are by design to spare civilians, instead of air strikes like the Western strategy. Although Russia has used more cruise missiles in two months than the United States has used in TOTAL in all conflicts in the last 30 years, but few people will check. Jesus, the use of MLRS like the Smerch (successor to the still in heavy use Uragan and Grad) with cluster munitions by both Russia and Ukraine is worse than air strikes for civilians by far.
