Is there any information about the "African women working in Russian drone factories" mentioned in the article? I read the linked article about it but the only evidence they had was anonymous witness statements and a dubious facebook group with 84 members ran by obvious fake accounts.
Almost certainly made up, but the target audience isn't going to question it.
I had a good look for any sources now but it's the same media bullshit where every source links back to another article that links back to another article etc. There's references to videos but I couldn't find any videos. There's a reference to a UN investigation but it turns out it was an out of context quote by a UN spokesperson with no actual investigation or even any information from the UN. The more I look into this the more bullshit there is. The quote is published on the website "Business and Human Rights Resource Centre" which is primarily funded by private philanthropists like the Schmidt Family Foundation (set up by the ex CEO of Google Eric Schmidt). It was honestly just a waste of time, I could have just assumed it was made up.
I guess now we know for sure though. Really shows how low reporting standards are in western media while libs run around presenting it as a paragon of objective reporting.
