There’s a ton of info available out there so that you don’t have to rely on what Russian intelligence agencies are trying to sell you.

ONE SIDED. I know you aren't used to listening to different points of view, but the world pretty much silenced any Russian viewpoints. I don't care if its Russian propaganda or legit sources, censoring opposing viewpoints or viewpoints that goes against the narrative is just the sort of tyrannical control Russia uses.

There’s actual videos that back up some of the claims in that article. It’s a bit of a step up from our anonymous sources we get all the time here

I can’t take this argument seriously.

That hasn’t been confirmed. You just think it’s all disinformation because you’ve been trained to think that your whole life

There's a reason you refuse to link your sources.

I’m under no obligation to do so. It’s not a secret where it comes from. Stop derailing the thread

Indeed Comrade indeed. It just reduces your effectiveness.

I have no issues with you distrusting US info (even though they nailed the invasion details).

I’m more curious as to why you trust the Russian info?

Yes, everything coming from the American side is the truth.

Literally nothing they are reporting is true

Oh no...the media all hates Putin/Russia now after invading Ukraine. I must do whatever I can to be against the media even if that means siding with Russia.
Stay off /pol/ for a little bit huh

I’m posting their side of the story and they actually provide details on advancements. There is a reason why both sides are represented in court hearings. It’s to get to the truth. The lies from the west have been so so bad and they are extremely damaging. People are going over there to fight as mercenaries based on lies and getting blown to pieces

I hate lies and hypocrisy

Here is one of those bad arse mercs and his story by Michael Tracey.

An American foreign fighter, who would identify himself only as “Zander,” said he was injured March 13 in a Russian airstrike on the “International Center for Peacekeeping and Security” in Yavoriv, located in far Western Ukraine. The strike drew much notice because it was the most westward attack yet committed by Russia, just around 15 miles from the Polish border.

“Zander,” who said he is originally from New Jersey, was in Ukraine fighting as a member of the “Zelensky Battalion” — a just-created international force named after the Ukraine president now being touted as a global folk hero. Ukraine government officials reported at least 35 fatalities in the bombing, as well as an unknown number of injured, but the nationalities of the casualties has not been specified.

After the attack, “Zander” crossed into Poland, which is where I encountered him March 16 — at a large processing center for displaced Ukrainians in Korczowa, just over the border.

“Zander” said he was watching the movie Saving Private Ryan in his room on the base at around 5am, when all of the sudden his “whole fricking window was blown out.” He said if he had been in a slightly different position on his bed, he would’ve been killed by a giant shard of glass. As he scrambled to get his bearings, he suffered some significant abrasions on his hands and arms, which he displayed to me.

Before departing the US for Ukraine after the invasion started last month, “Zander” got a tattoo on his hand of a logo for the Ukraine military:

With journalists glamorizing the foreign fighters flocking into Ukraine, and casting the war as a cosmic battle between Good and Evil, it’s highly probable that there will be additional US casualties. Which could subsequently be cited as justification for wider US military involvement. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
