Oh for sure. The de-nazification claim by Putin is obviously bullshit. There probably are more Nazis in his country so if he wanted to de-nazifi anything, it would be his own country first.
@Acad23, there even more torture videos coming out of Ukraine, including women and children being tortured. Whole thread here:
Nazis nazis nazis. There aren’t enough nazis in the world, let alone one country, to affect any decision on a local or global level. On top of the fact that the term is so overused that calling someone a nazi has about as much credibility to it as calling someone a racist these days. This war has nothing to do with nazis. Period.
As I posted yesterday, @Youblacksoul has existed since 2015 but only posted a few weird spammy tweets between then and this war. A real journalist, even one who wants to remain anonymous, would start his own account, not repurpose an existing spambot. The torture videos are as likely to be a Russian false flag as they are to be Ukrainian soldiers.
It’s just so perfect that Dr. Bitcoin and Mr. FleXstradamus are the handles. @DaveG47 couldn’t have been the guys handle huh?
Tweedledum and tweedledumber don’t care about the provenance of their sources. It’s the message that matters.
FWIW... Youblacksoul's Twitter account was suspended. Does anyone believe that in the middle of an invasion, one that's not going well by all reports, that Russian soldiers stopped and staged these photos & videos? These abuses look to be the crimes against looters, Russian speaking Ukrainians, gypsies and men unwilling to fight. I've seen video of Ukrainian military shooting Ukraine citizens that were fleeing Mariupol. Ukraine was & is a fucked up country in many ways... that didn't change because an evil tyrant decided to invade them. None of this excuses the brutality that Ukraine is being subjected to by Russian forces. I add that postscript only so @BrowningNagle and @Dierking can untwist their panties a little bit... The more intelligent among us know better.
The face dye is zelyonka... commonly used an an antiseptic... but stains the skin for a week. Ukrainians 'taping looters to lamp posts as they try to capitalise on Russian invasion' https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/ukrainians-taping-looters-lamp-posts-26368205
I don't blame them. They are fed Russian propaganda and when all western and globalist align it is never good. Better support Dictatorship and a tyran.
No. I believe that specialized units trained to do this type of agitprop staged the shows. In case you haven't noticed Russia is losing the propaganda war big time. There's no doubt in my mind that their forces trained to do this type of stuff are on fully active mode. Putin is about 2 weeks of bad news away from a full-blown disaster and the mud probably is going to last that long.
Have you seen any evidence of these "specialized units"? I think it's Ukraine militants taking care of people they see as dissenters, deserters and looters. I'm hoping that sanctions and diplomacy have the desired effect before more lives are lost. And I hope that the 4 million displaced Ukrainians can return to a home not ruled by tyrants.
A month late, to bad this guy's ego got in his way. Could have had a much more peaceful resolution with not a shot fired. Also for all the people pushing the "Russia is losing" narrative, must be quite shocking huh? This is Ukraine surrending. These are the exact terms that would have avoided this whole conflict.
Not sure about your first or last sentence but this is definitely the time to cut the best deal you can.
Four weeks into War Russians are stalled Pentagon Press Sectry on News today confirms Russians have "command and control " issues and can't identify their commanders>>competing against each other for supplies! Also, news reported Ukrainians on Offensive...retook some Kiev suburbs...ha Putin getting his assed kicked I say keep sanctions on till Putin is kicked out and that may take awhile ..but he is a dangerous loose Cannon tbh
