@ToniScott @crapaud @paul You seem to be an unable or unwilling to access accurate information. I don't think even a week of TED talks and a dozen eye witness reports will open your other eye. Good luck with cheering on the US imperialists.

"The idea that Ukraine might join a Western military alliance would be quite unacceptable to any Russian leader.[It] would threaten Ukraine with a major war. The point is this is a serious strategic threat to Russia, which any Russian leader would have to react to. That’s well understood."-Noam Chomsky, 2015.#nato #ukraine #russia #natorussiawar #russianatowar #russiaukrainewar #ukrainerussiawar

@paul I remember the #US had a tantrum over #Russia placing missiles in Cuba in 1963 (in response to US nuclear missiles already being placed in Turkey). Fortunately, at that time, both leaders - Kennedy and Khrushchev - recognized that no-one likes having such weapons on their borders, within a distance which cannot be defended against, and both agreed to withdraw those weapons. The US could sure use another JFK today.

@paul And genocide, rape, murder, cultural despoliation, child abduction, torture, false imprisonment, war crimes, electoral interference, and territorial aggression are unacceptable to all western leaders, so Mr Chomsky had better climb into his bunker.

@ToniScott @paul You will easily find thousands of equivalent accusations being directed at Ukraine by legitimate, neutral sources.

@Karuna @ToniScott @paul That's a clear false equivalency. The UN has documented thousands of war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine. Accusations of war crimes committed by Ukraine come from Russian TV personalities.Not the same.

@crapaud @ToniScott @paul It seems you have limited access to information about the conflict in Ukraine. Not unexpected, as there are very strict controls over the information flow from there, leaving people in the West flooded with pro-Ukraine narratives - narratives that do not accord with the facts reported by journalists and others on the ground in the region. And yes, the UN has sided with the US on this issue. They often do the bidding of the US, so UN reports do not necessarily indicate objectivity.For a few other reports (not from "Russian TV presenters", and not in the UN reports) see the following. I have limited these to pro-Western sources, and excluded the dozens of far more detailed accounts provided by journalists actually living in the region, as I suspect you would reject these for not being impartial. Ukraine war crimes reported by Western media include:- Reuters (pro-West) reports the murder of a Russian POW by Ukrainian troops:https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/video-appears-show-ukrainian-forces-killing-russian-captive-2022-04-07/ - The Hill (pro-West) reports on torture of Russian POWs by Ukrainian troopshttps://thehill.com/policy/international/3482835-un-receiving-credible-information-about-ukrainian-troops-torturing-russian-prisoners-official-says/- Sky News (pro-West) reports on a video showing the murder of a Russian POW: https://news.sky.com/story/video-appears-to-show-ukrainian-soldier-killing-russian-prisoner-12584437Finally, while this is not a pro-western source, but rather a French NGO worker giving an eye-witness account of murders and war crimes by Ukrainian forces, and supports those reports from pro-Western sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftusr_pX_AMI am not prepared to deny Russia has committed war crimes. But neither am I so naive as to think Ukraine is some squeaky clean nation adhering to the Laws of War. You should pay more attention to Arthur Ponsonby, whose insight was as correct today as it was in 1928.

@Karuna @ToniScott @paul Karuna, I took a minute to watch the "French NGO video". Wow, you are deeply unserious. A video with 100 views claiming that the war crimes in Bucha were committed by Ukrainians not Russians. Oof. Yeah, you're not arguing in good faith.

@crapaud @ToniScott @paul If you judge validity by the number of views, you can find the same interview in French media reports (in French). That one was subtitled. I notice you totally ignored exactly the same reports of Ukrainian war crimes from pro-US media. Live in a bubble, it's your choice.

@Karuna @ToniScott @paul just like you ignore the OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE that Bucha was 100% Russian war crimes. Anything that says otherwise is playing to Putin's satisfaction.

@crapaud @ToniScott @paul So you claim to question what happened in Bucha accusations is a sure sign that one is a Putin puppet? That sure makes it easy to dismiss any contradictory evidence to the Bucha propaganda event, doesn't it? As I have said more than enough times now, if you want to stay one-eyed about this, it's your choice. There are many others like you. But it doesn't seem productive to have a discussion with so wholeheartedly committed to a very questionable narrative. Even evidence from your own preferred sources does not agree with your interpretation. Here ends the discussion that never even got past the most basic propaganda.
