“I told you all last week that Ukrainians were not upholding the Geneva Convention.”
Shooting civilians isn’t really following the conventions either. Nasty business all around it seems.
Some of this has to be real. All of it can’t be fake. I’m not letting the Ukes off the hook but you can’t fake the entire operation.
The usual fake news from Fake News Daily Mail?
Yup.
From a Twitter post from someone we don’t know about?
Daily Mail often sounds fake like this one
democrats, with guns...
The entire Trump Russian collusion story was fake. The entire thing, between government officials and thousands of news publications. It was known to be fake for 4 years, and yet it was the lead story every day and presented as fact.
Never forget what the news media is capable of faking.
Point the gun at Putin.
Once ordinary citizens are forced to take up arms against an invading force, in my view you are way past any Geneva Convention.
They’ve used movie stills to show people supposedly evacuating. Video game stills to show fighting, video from earlier conflicts as if it is now.
Really we have little idea what’s actually happening.
True. While it’s certain that there are atrocities occurring and it is heart-rending, we really don’t know what’s true/real and what’s not for the most part.
There is a huge fog of propaganda covering the realities here.
It’s propaganda unless you name names. Surely the young soldier knows the name of his lieutenant. Surely he knows the place where this happened, and I don’t think anyone removed the bodies. Journalists used to care about confirming facts on the ground.
“In full-spectrum warfare you are required to access and assess all sources of information. It requires you to develop a discerning eye for real versus fake. The skill is not easy to develop, but I think you and others can learn to do it.”
Very true - and true in non-warfare news reporting in this day and age.
As far as Ukraine, I’m not even sure there are sources worth cross checking.
I don’t know.
In this kind of war 500 isn’t all that many. We lost that many just at Omaha Beach.
No. I’m not saying it’s all fake. But I’m doubting that Russian officers are shooting their own men. And widely carried indiscriminate killing of civilians I’m doubting too. These aren’t Germans.
We won’t know the truth until months or years after the dust settles. There’s just too much propaganda.

This is called “ discernment “. True Discernment is a gift from the Spirit. Non believers have not been given discernment. My discernment tells me there are no white hats in this regional war. Pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia, their corrupted, dirty governments are both guilty of deceit and lies.A divine hallmark: Evil is used to destroy evil. Nations suffer for the officials they elect.
These reports are getting into the land of kray kray.
“I know they have captured a lot of Russians because of a bookface page I’m a member of.”
Bookface? Is that like Tertwit or Ditred?
The Pro Russian people here want you to believe everything the Russians say and everything coming from Ukraine side, is propaganda
