ah, the highly reputable... random user from genzedong, who definitely has no ideological interest in this issue whatsoever
Do western sources have no ideological interest?
i like how you evaded the "random user from genzedong" bit here, because it would be incredibly inconvenient to address how random people are completely unaccountable on all levels when it comes to fact-checking or disputing things reported on by established media; or to admit that propaganda isn't a one-way street and that far from being above it all you are as susceptible--or perhaps even moreso, because of your heterodox political beliefs--to lies as the brainwashed FOX News voter who thinks we actually did right in iraq, lol
in any case, this instance is not friendly to war-crime apologia--and certainly not from war-crime apologia based on uninformed speculation by people who think russia is a socialist country or actually think denazification is taking place in ukraine when russia is infested with ultranationalists and neo-nazis and is guilty of the same charge of employing fascist paramilitaries as ukraine is. to future people of this sort: don't bother, you will be banned with prejudice as well.
no thank you
