    Now who’s assuming?

    I’m not assuming anything. This is what the people there say, and that’s why we’re not seeing any actual resistance to LPR and DPR forces taking cities the way we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan when US occupied those countries.

    Has it ever occurred to you that those interviews can be faked?

    Has it ever occurred to you that you might be a victim of propaganda?

      That can be faked easily.

      I’m sure Mariupol welcomed the Russians as liberators! Well, what’s left of it.

      I try to keep a reasonable level of skepticism. But I’m certainly not trusting an easily faked YouTube video from someone who is obviously a propagandist spouting Russian talking points.

        Unlike the propaganda you consume presumably.

        Have you seen videos from Mariupol after it was taken? What you don’t seem to get is that people from LPR and DPR are the ones doing most of the work on the ground, not Russia. These are people who live in these areas and they’re not seen as occupiers.

        I try to keep a reasonable level of skepticism.

        You regurgitate pure propaganda in every one of your comments. According to you people like Chomsky are Russian propagandists.

          Have you seen pictures of Mariupol before and after it was bombed to shit? Russia did that, there is no escaping that reality.

          According to you people like Chomsky are Russian propagandists.

          The fuck? I disagree with Chomsky, but I never called him a propagandist. Patrick Lancaster and his ilk are propagandists.

            Yeah, stuff gets bombed during wars. The reality is that Russia dropped far less bombs than US has in any recent conflict.

            Chomsky has exact same position I have on the war. Since you claim what I say is Russian propaganda, then Chomsky must be one by extension. What Lancaster reports is what’s actually happening on the ground. You dismiss that because it doesn’t fit your narrative.
