Well perhaps you should open your eyes, because it's very easy to see the bodies if you care to see what's happening over there. Civilians killed with hands tied behind their backs, executed people, shelled cities, etc.

Your argument is that Ukraine is killing their own people to get other countries involved, when other countries were already supplying them with everything they need to win on their own.
What did the Red Army have to gain by murdering and raping their way across Germany?
What did the Nazis have to gain by murdering Jews?
What does Putin have to gain now?
Perhaps is just stupid soldiers with bloodlust, not thinking about profiting.
This is a conscripted, poorly trained army with no leadership doing things that the Russian army has ALWAYS done.

Use your fucking head.

I saw many photos of armed civilians (including models holding airsoft) and Ukraine's government (and many here) "proud of it".  Many videos of civilians helping the Ukrainian military killing "bad Russians".

So, once those armed civilians are killed they are reprocessed into "innocent victims" by the MSM for mass consumption?



As an example: Still keeping in mind several discussions not long ago, in this forum, about the Syrian civil war and many fabricated photos and videos.  In Ukraine that stopped and "all is true"?

Probably, too bad he's yet to provide anything close to a convincing argument.

Also, as far as Covid, it was clear by week 2 that things were not adding up. Government overreach was obvious, and "rules" put in place didn't make sense. There's nothing like that here.


Yeah.  Absolutely nothing like that here.  LULZ!

Right, nothing like that here. With Covid, you could put together information coming from a variety of sources and understand that something didn't add up.

By your logic you will NEVER know ANYTHING because you can't trust any information, even information you see with your own eyes.

I'm not arguing our media doesn't suck. I'm saying it's irrelevant, and that RT is Kremlin owned propaganda- anyone that buys into it is parroting Russian talking points.

BTW- there's plenty of sources to get information on the current war that isn't the US MSM, to include fairly trustworthy sources from countries in your graph...but people here are still not going to believe it.

It's that weak binary thinking. Our media is full of shit, so the media that disagrees with our media must be telling the truth. It always helps if the alternate media is supporting the alternate narrative. It's almost like it isn't an accident and it's specifically targeted to support the confirmation bias of the audience that doesn't like the institutions of the target country.

Yes, occasionally the MSM gets something right. In this case, much of the war reporting is corroborated by a VARIETY of different sources. You can pretend that's not the case if you prefer. This is where common sense comes in. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but ignoring a truth because you don't like the source is ignorant as fuck.

You intentionally ignored my point.  

Using tour covid example, it was possible to see (by the non-braindead) that none of the information officially provided added up.  It has been possible to research multiple sources and crosscheck information to get near the truth.  

Transpose to Ukraine and the same sources that pushed the "covid pandemic" are pushing the "free Ukraine!" and trying to rally everyone towards that cause.

What makes the Ukraine case much more difficult to assess (by the non-braindead) is that is a smaller event taking place in a far-away location and with very limited sources of information, most of them already proved untrustworthy a long time ago.   However, we know for sure that Ukraine is a money-laundering corrupt-to-the-core shithole that only serves billionaires associated with organizations that do not have mankind's wellbeing in mind (e.g. WEF, clinton foundation, etc.) purposes.

Add to that how low important that event is, compared to much more pressing issues Americans are facing at home.  

Conclusion, that falls in the barely-move-the-needle category, since we are getting fabricated news from both sides of an event that is not important.

Yes, occasionally the MSM gets something right. In this case, much of the war reporting is corroborated by a VARIETY of different sources. You can pretend that's not the case if you prefer. This is where common sense comes in. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but ignoring a truth because you don't like the source is ignorant as fuck.

Can you comprehend the difference between a civilian fighter killed somewhere and piles of civilian bodies with hands tied behind their backs? Oh right, those pics are fabricated right.

You're a known putin lover, I remember you- namely because your screen name is the same name as my favorite hotel in Saint Petersburg. At any rate your judgement is suspect, and you have no credibility.

Then make a logical argument.

So far the best arguments are "covid was wrong so this is wrong" and "I haven't seen the bodies myself so it's false"

Weak.

I haven’t seen the bodies myself so it could be true or false.

Who profits from the corpses if it is true or false?

Ukrainians that want the EU to join the war.

Do I care if the EU joins the war?

No.

No need to argue.





Well perhaps you should open your eyes, because it's very easy to see the bodies if you care to see what's happening over there. Civilians killed with hands tied behind their backs, executed people, shelled cities, etc.

Your argument is that Ukraine is killing their own people to get other countries involved, when other countries were already supplying them with everything they need to win on their own.
What did the Red Army have to gain by murdering and raping their way across Germany?
What did the Nazis have to gain by murdering Jews?
What does Putin have to gain now?
Perhaps is just stupid soldiers with bloodlust, not thinking about profiting.
This is a conscripted, poorly trained army with no leadership doing things that the Russian army has ALWAYS done.

Use your fucking head.



I saw many photos of armed civilians (including models holding airsoft) and Ukraine's government (and many here) "proud of it".  Many videos of civilians helping the Ukrainian military killing "bad Russians".

So, once those armed civilians are killed they are reprocessed into "innocent victims" by the MSM for mass consumption?


As an example: Still keeping in mind several discussions not long ago, in this forum, about the Syrian civil war and many fabricated photos and videos.  In Ukraine that stopped and "all is true"?

So, if by not buying the "free Ukraine!" propaganda that makes me a "Putin lover", what does zealously pushing that propaganda makes you?  A "soros balls licker"?

You intentionally ignored my point.  

Using tour covid example, it was possible to see (by the non-braindead) that none of the information officially provided added up.  It has been possible to research multiple sources and crosscheck information to get near the truth.  

Transpose to Ukraine and the same sources that pushed the "covid pandemic" are pushing the "free Ukraine!" and trying to rally everyone towards that cause.

What makes the Ukraine case much more difficult to assess (by the non-braindead) is that is a smaller event taking place in a far-away location and with very limited sources of information, most of them already proved untrustworthy a long time ago.   However, we know for sure that Ukraine is a money-laundering corrupt-to-the-core shithole that only serves billionaires associated with organizations that do not have mankind's wellbeing in mind (e.g. WEF, clinton foundation, etc.) purposes.

Add to that how low important that event is, compared to much more pressing issues Americans are facing at home.  

Conclusion, that falls in the barely-move-the-needle category, since we are getting fabricated news from both sides of an event that is not important.

Probably, too bad he's yet to provide anything close to a convincing argument.

Also, as far as Covid, it was clear by week 2 that things were not adding up. Government overreach was obvious, and "rules" put in place didn't make sense. There's nothing like that here.


Yeah.  Absolutely nothing like that here.  LULZ!

https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/36058/B10D4C1D-9F1A-4BA0-89EA-036730D31BAE-230-2339682.JPG




Right, nothing like that here. With Covid, you could put together information coming from a variety of sources and understand that something didn't add up.

By your logic you will NEVER know ANYTHING because you can't trust any information, even information you see with your own eyes.

Have fun going through life never knowing a damn thing about anything. Or you could open your eyes, use your head, and make reasonable calls on things based on the information available.

Except you're wrong. There are a variety of sources we can use to make some judgement calls on what is going on there. Distance doesn't matter, but if it does then I was within 100 miles of the Ukrainian border recently so apparently I would know better than you right? Regardless, we do not have limited sources of information, only the complete braindead and ignorant would make that claim. There's more information coming out about this war than any war in history, and it's happening in near real time. Yes, some of it is bad, but quite a lot of it is pretty good and a smart person can piece those many sources together.
Corruption in Ukraine is an irrelevant talking point as well.

If you think this event is not important then you are almost not worth even talking to. This even has made the world more unstable than it has been in...decades...maybe longer. Both in a physical way, and financial. If you can't see that then you are an absolute fool.

Good psyops use the truth as a hook, then they get you with the follow-on or the explanation for why something happened.  "The civilians are dead, but here is the explanation for why they are dead." "The civilians are dead, but it was a rogue unit that is not being prosecuted."  What people fail to realize is that state-level black and grey propaganda doesn't have to all be one story.  One outlet will put out one thing intended for one audience, another outlet will put out another thing intended for another audience.  Its all manipulated and it appears to be inconsistent to the outsider, but it all serves a common goal.

I wasn't aware of that one.  However, it's not for nothing that the old saying "truth is the first casualty of war" holds true to this day.

I remember reading a very good article about the Rose of Tokyo (not sure if here on arfcom) that talked about this issue.

No, it's because our media is full of shit and completely untrustworthy that anyone seeking the truth needs to read "the other side" and try to figure out the truth hidden in between.

So, we know both sides lie.  Only way to try to find out what's really going on is listening to both sides.

Like the old-style courts of law do.  Have you heard of it?

Apparently you missed the part where I said our MSM sucks too, also opinion articles are a reach dude. So are ones from 2015.

No, it's because our media is full of shit and completely untrustworthy that anyone seeking the truth needs to read "the other side" and try to figure out the truth hidden in between.

So, we know both sides lie.  Only way to try to find out what's really going on is listening to both sides.

Like the old-style courts of law do.  Have you heard of it?

I'm not arguing our media doesn't suck. I'm saying it's irrelevant, and that RT is Kremlin owned propaganda- anyone that buys into it is parroting Russian talking points.
It's that weak binary thinking. Our media is full of shit, so the media that disagrees with our media must be telling the truth. It always helps if the alternate media is supporting the alternate narrative. It's almost like it isn't an accident and it's specifically targeted to support the confirmation bias of the audience that doesn't like the institutions of the target country.

In courts, there is something called an evidentiary standard.  You don't get to introduce any and all evidence that you want to.  Evidence that fails to meet a certain standard gets screened out and the jury never gets to see it because its BS.  I could care less if you want to read state-sponsored propaganda or not, but it is not necessary to do so in the search for "truth".

Don't be obtuse. It's absolutely moronic to make the argument that you can NEVER know ANYTHING as fact unless you personally witnessed it with your own eyes.

By your logic NOTHING ever happened because you didn't see it yourself. As Theodoric mentioned above, there's a standard for evidence.

Saying stuff like this will make people think you're dumb.

Who own those satellites?   Are we getting all the images?   Are the images we are getting being doctored?


Depending on the sources:

The 2020 "elections" were just, had no fraud and the pedophile really got 81 million votes.
The pedophile's son's laptop was a "Russia propaganda".
The "Trump-Russia collusion" was real.
Benghazi happened because of a video posted on Youtube.
The US southern border crisis is a rightwing-Russia fabrication.
The "covid pandemic and the required mandates" were absolutely necessary and the "vaccines work".

I can continue this list for a long time.

All of them based on "hard evidence by sources and experts" (provided by the sources publishing them).

How did it go?



Maxar technologies based in Colorado.



Is that enough to make it a reputable/credible source?

Like that famous Kenosha case?   I remember that even doctored images and videos were presented trying to incriminate the intended person and paint others as "victims", let alone "testimonies".

Another one?  Florida, a guy shot another who was about to kill him, but all the (same) media did everything it could to paint the guy who defended himself the criminal and the criminal the victim. Including posting fake photos and statements.  And the same government (and characters) pushing the "free Ukraine!" narrative using the full weight of the state to push the fake narrative in Florida.

I can cite other cases like that that happened right here, beside us in America.

So, how does "photos, videos and testimonies" that come from questionable sources somewhere far away make it true?  Who corroborated those "sources"?

True about Ukrainians being affected, whether on this forum or not. Obviously I don't want any innocent people harmed.

It's just that the globalists have had a hard-on for a USA v. Russia war for years. Some normal folks who are usually (and rightfully so) wary of the propaganda media are eating up every BS story out of Ukraine as if it were fact. They are reverting to some cold war mindset about the Evil Empire. The "globohomos", if you will, have been pushing their agendas in Ukraine and subverting the ethnic Russian people there. Somehow many of us have been tricked into rallying alongside these globalists. Personally, I support the Ukrainian people, which is why I don't want to see tranny kids and hordes of third world immigrants become the norm there. If the globohomos win and establish control, you just know it will be.

Globalists have a hard on for Russia and China right now because both have opted out of the WEF’s plan for the great reset.  Russia being the weaker of the two was pushed into a position where they would likely do something dumb.

In Russia’s mind Obama allowed Crimea and Georgia to occur, and probably thought like that the west would take a hard stance.  Problem is the democrats have something rotten in Ukraine.  You have all of the Biden family deals and cover ups, what I suspect was an illegally funded revolution through the Obama state department with funds ending at the CEO of Burisma.  You have people arrest in Ukraine for trying to interfere in our elections in favor of Clinton.  Now we have the Biden family finding bio labs in Ukraine and other areas.

The global establishment isn’t about to let Putin knock off their global revolution by blackmail or airing it out.  So War became inevitable.

LMAO

Yet when we look at all the evidence available, it became very obvious that Kyle acted in self defense. Thanks for proving my point.


You are believing what you WANT to believe in spite of the evidence. You're free to do so, but again, it doesn't make you smart.

So, if by not buying the "free Ukraine!" propaganda that makes me a "Putin lover", what does zealously pushing that propaganda makes you?  A "soros balls licker"?

If he says he eats potatoes for breakfast, you can bet I'll investigate before touching one for breakfast.

There was a CEO of one of those fracking companies who publicly drank a glass of water "from a well near a drilling site" to show it was clean.  It was later exposed the water he drank wasn't from that well.

So, there's that.

Read? Anything remotely independent. (Not RT except for entertainment). Read all you can, read accounts from people on the ground, look at pictures, watch videos, listen to captured audio. Then you have to use a little common sense and decide what is believable and what is not. I know, it's tough having to think for yourself. Nowhere here did I advocate for blindly trusting anyone or anything, but when you hear the same thing from 5 sources, you can probably make a decision.

We've been using Maxar for various things since 2019.  They are hardly a brand new entity.  Maybe you didn't know about them until 24 hours ago, but I sure did.
