Russia & Ukraine

  1. It was surprising to see this journalist chick speaking out like this while in Russia, apparently.

    Someone is probably already planning her suicide.

    Watch out for the umbrellas.

    Let's take a look at reality -- this "U.S-run Bio-labs in Ukraine" is nothing more than a Russian disinformation campaign.

    A campaign that was already kicked off in early February....

    February 8, 2022

    And kept rolling into March - -being picked up by the Chinese press...

    Of course this was picked up the QAnon idiots who pushed all over social media...

    The conspiracy theory has been boosted by Russian and Chinese media and diplomats.

    I appreciate your "fact checks" and all. But if they have the same reliability as COVID and other political narratives, then you really can't trust any of them unfortunately and you have to do your own research.

    I know, I know. "Good luck with your fantasies", right GWB? Your tag line for all the stuff you claim isn't true - until it comes out that it is.

    But the meme was funny :)

    Well --- they are a source of material from respected mainstream sources. You can go read them and then tell us what details in the information you disagree with.

    Again, "Respected mainstream sources" have gotten numerous things wrong over the last few years alone. Everything from the Russian "pee tapes" to COVID. So they're - in the best of cases - just as fallible as everyone else, and in the worst of cases, malevolently leading us down a narrative path. They certainly aren't experts on jack shit.

    So you can't debate the facts --- so you just attack the source, eh.

    I'm not attacking the source at all. And I AM stating facts. Mainstream media sources have been flat out wrong a number of times in the recent past. Do you deny this?

    (watch how GWB doesn't answer Yes/No but obfuscates.)

    LOL -- -you merely choose to believe Tweets and Blogs from disreputable individuals over mainstream news.... this is very different than "stating facts".

    Yes or No, GWB. Has mainstream media been wrong over the last few years on more than one occasion?
