I bet you haven’t even read their site. You are probably too stupid to get past the western restrictions. You just regurgitate the same talking points force fed to you by the most corrupt, evil establishment and media in the world. Our military history is horrific

Russia Today News Anchor Resigns on Air in Protest
BY DENVER NICKS
MARCH 5, 2014 6:55 PM ES
Updated: March 6, 2014, 2:26 a.m. EST.
A Washington-based news anchor for Russia’s state-owned TV station Russia Today resigned from her post on air on Wednesday, saying she was unwilling to continue working for a media outlet that “whitewashes” the Kremlin’s actions in Ukraine.
“And that is why personally I cannot be a part of a network funded by the Russian government that whitewashes the actions of Putin,” news anchor Liz Wahl said. “I’m proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth, and that is why after this newscast I am resigning.”
The Kremlin-funded station RT has issued reports on the unfolding crisis in eastern Ukraine that often sound more like Soviet press releases than fact-based news reports. The outlet has consistently repeated the Kremlin talking point that Crimean “self-defense forces” rather than Russian troops are responsible for seizing control of key spots throughout the region.
On Tuesday, another RT anchor made headlines when she broke with Moscow’s version of events to denounce the invasion of Ukraine. “I can’t say enough how strongly I am against any state intervention in a sovereign nation’s affairs,” Abby Martin said. “What Russia did is wrong.”

Now do the American media members that have been fired and or canceled for not toeing the party line. You have to be absolutely silly to think we do not have state-run media at this point.

The legacy media are just Democratic Party stenographers at this point. There is no "Don't Say Gay" bill. Nor are oil prices the "Putin Price Spike." They've been rising consistently since Biden's election. These are propagandistic lies now repeated ad nauseum by the media.

I hope people are finally starting to understand how communists could kill so many people without remorse. There’s just no humanity in them. You’re seeing it here. Mad about gas? Buy a Tesla. Inflation killing you? Oh that’s just Putin’s fault.
No humanity. No soul. Just evil.

1) On urban warfare. This in no way should be interpreted as a defense of Russian-inflicted civilian casualties (it will anyway), which I condemn. The harsh reality is that when you decide to defend cities, you will incur civilian casualties & damage to civilian infrastructure.
quote:
2) Both sides chose to fight in an urban setting. From Mayor Vitali Klitschko: "Kyiv has been transformed into a fortress. Every street, every building, every checkpoint has been fortified."
quote:
3) There are numerous photographs & videos from the capital and other cities that show armed checkpoints and defensive positions in or around civilian buildings & areas. I've seen video of Ukrainian troops firing anti-tank missiles from apartment building rooftops.
quote:
4) Ukrainian snipers are no doubt using upper stories of buildings as sniper's hides. As they should. Armor, checkpoints & defensive positions are placed on bridges & roadways used by civilians. Again, as they should if the plan is to defend a city at all costs.
quote:
5) Ukrainians are soundly executing a bloody & lethal urban defense. They are making the Russians pay dearly for attempting to take cities. This is why Ukrainian cities are holding out against some very long odds. Everyone is applauding the Ukrainian's determination ...
quote:
6) ... as they should, & as do I. But there are costs associated with waging a viscous urban defense. The Russians will use artillery & airpower to take out Ukrainian defensive positions. Buildings will be leveled. Civilians will be killed & wounded.
quote:
7) The Russians will not hesitate to use indiscriminate fires to terrorize and intimidate civilians into surrendering. This is a cold, hard reality of warfare that spans millennia. The Russians did not invent this tactic. So far, this has not happened on an industrial scale.
quote:
8) I know this all will be interpreted as a defense of the Russians. It isn't. I am discussing the brutal, harsh realities & consequences of the choice to fight in an urban environment. Sadly, there is little room on Twitter for dispassionate analysis. Only emotional outbursts.

I'm smart enough to realize that it is possible to believe that both the MSM and Russian media are BOTH full of shite. Apparently you are incapable of holding two thoughts in your head at the same time.

CTV News Vancouver aired a story Tuesday that included an image of two female Ukrainian soldiers who were wearing an offensive symbol on their uniforms, which was regrettably not recognized before being broadcast. The image has been removed from our coverage.
I think it was just a couple of weeks ago they were hellbent on showing a couple of flags at the convoy protest over and over. Convoy participants made those 2 people leave BTW. Their government even went as far as to declare a wartime martial law partially over those 2 flags.
Now they are supporting actual Nazis. Clown fricking World.

It would be like a Russian Nato existed and they began to add members. Then Mexico joins and they have missiles on the southern border. Remember the Cuban missile crisis? That Is how Russia feels.

To be fair, that is exactly why killing communist is so easy. No guilt involved as they aren’t human.

Man, I had no idea we were putting nuclear missiles on the Ukrainian/Russia border. Totally justified if true.
