    The core of what they say is truthful, just like most propaganda. Why bother pointing it out? Why automatically doubt Ukraine, calling them very biased “at best”?

    Because it’s designed to undermine Ukraine and support the Kremlin and Pyong Yang.

      True, and Russia is always the one lying, it’s their own strategy, Ukraine numbers are backed by CiA and UK intelligence right after, they actually lose support if they start lying, not Russia they only have lies, so fuck .ml

      I can’t speak to that users motivations. I can only say that initial reporting out of any warzone should be viewed skeptically. I’ve already provided my rationale as to why, but ultimately, it’s a personal choice.

      I’d rather file away first reports as unconfirmed rumors, or incomplete assessments, until I’ve seen additional reporting from other sources I trust.

      Maybe that user really is what you said they are, or maybe they just suck at articulating the point that I was making. I don’t know.

        bit late to the party, but:

        it’s not that reports out of a warzone shouldn’t be questioned… it’s the way the user up top chose to frame their skepticism.

        it reeks of alt-right divide-and-conquer tactics…

        there’s plenty of people with poor articulation, but this is not that. this is on purpose.

        there’s a certain way the far-right tends to speak that’s very distinct, once you start noticing it. and tankies, certainly not by accident, use a lot of the same language.
