Russia as the invader has no right to complain. Same as israel

[–] Smackyroon@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Except russia is a defender not an invader

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world -5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Bullshit. Russia used the same tactic as Israel to invade. it is always the same excuse for invaders create a fake eminent threat to do what they always wanted to do controlling the area.

Russia used the same tactic as Israel to invade.

No they didn't.
Israel used an attack on Israel from occupied territory as an excuse to do a full-scale genocide.

Russia went to Kiev to demand Zelensky to lay down arms in the Donbass,
end the civil war and allow Donbass separation from a military couped Ukraine.
If not, there Russia would continue with its special military operation
and demand all historic Russian Oblasts granted to Ukraine by Russia,
back to Russia.

it is always the same excuse for invaders create a fake eminent threat

No, one was about dealing with a terrorist threat
by attempting to genocide multiple civilizations,
the other acts accordingly after one side,
a Ukranian puppet leader
that takes direct orders from the US, where he breaks all treaties
and a US who literally tells Russia
"we're gonna do whatever we want,
place weapons wherever we want,
kill whomever we want,
break every treaty we want,
and you're not going to do anything about it,
deal with it".

"A civilization is going to die tonight"
after a country defends its own country
is what the US is all about.

Putin talks about how Ukraine is an artificial state and that it is russian. Israel claim that Palestinians are Arab colonizer and that Palestine and Palestinians never existed . They are the same using national security pretense to invade. Putin is a great friend of israel. The usa imperialist reason to support Ukraine do not change the fact that Russia is a real threat to Ukraine

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Both are true and both Palestine and Ukraine needed to decrease their size.
Around half for Palestine compared to their 1945 borders
and around half for Ukraine to Russia,
further land can be claimed by Hungary, Slovakia and Poland.

The difference is is that for Russia

  1. Russians are already living in Ukraine because their parents/grandparents never left.
  2. They wanted to vote to separate from Ukraine in Donbass but were shot at the voting booth, even killed.
  3. Russia was open to discuss where the new borders would stand, but Ukraine demanded Crimea back where 90+% of the people voted to leave Ukraine.

Israel on the other hand

  1. It's all Euro-import.
  2. No one gets to vote and they kill everyone not Israeli and bulldoze/bomb their homes. They kill every man, woman and child. Israel genocides like Nazi Germany, except worse, because they kill everyone of every country it has so far invaded.
  3. Israel demands the entire Middle East. Multiple Arab nations that have no Israeli history whatsoever.

The Kiev Nazi regime was already waging a war on its own people for eight years before Russia intervened to stop the genocide. Russia did for the Donbass what the world should have done a long time ago in Palestine.

Is there a source for this outside of Russian state media?

Is there a source for the Epstein files outside the US that does not get its source from the US?

[–] Darthcapi@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As England has made more arrests for Epstein related crimes than the US has I would go out on a limb and say yes, there are sources for the Epstein files outside of the US.

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Or maybe they just took the Epstein files seriously and didn't react until those files were released instead of when Epstein was arrested.
Have you thought of that?

And why would you trust any news media that has either a network of pedophile rapists where not even a public protest happened against it demanding for their heads, or any source of a vassal nation that just repeats the source of the Epstein class?

If you want to see multiple sources refuting "Russia's state media claims",
here's what "multiple sources" look like: https://youtu.be/ZggCipbiHwE

And here are "multiple sources" saying what a great company Amazon is:

[–] Darthcapi@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

And I consider CNN and CBS state media now. The US isn’t free from the label

[–] Darthcapi@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What network of pedophiles are you referring to? Who said Amazon was a great company? And as I’ve mentioned previously, media consolidation and ownership is shit. This is all because I asked for an additional source? And local stations are an awful place to get news. What’s your main point?

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

What network of pedophiles are you referring to?

The network of at least these people:

Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, Donald Trump,
Leslie Wexner, Peter Attia, Elon Musk, Ehud Barak, Leon Black,
Peter Mandelson, Ken Starr, Ahmed bin Sulayem, Larry Summers,
Peter Thiel, Nathan Wolfe, Thorbjørn Jagland, Mona Juul, Terje Rød-Larsen,
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor

What's your main point?

You're not going to get any other source.
If there's only one source, there's only one source.

[–] Darthcapi@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

When you said network I was thinking TV network, my mistake. No other source means you’re just pushing propaganda that fits your narrative. East or west doesn’t matter

[–] folaht@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No other source means you’re just pushing propaganda that fits your narrative.

And do you have any other sources except for yourself or the western propaganda source you got it from, to back that up?

Also, the UK is a western source just like the US, so that's the same source.
Thus you still haven't provided a second source for the Epstein files.
Also, has the UK confirmed that Epstein killed himself and/or is dead?
Otherwise, how do we even know Epstein hasn't simply been released from prison?

It's about the Russian ambassador in the OSCE, not about their latest statements.

Btw, russian has been very critical with the OSCE and their mission in Ukraine during their civil war.

[–] Smackyroon@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Article on a good outlet about how western media lies

Asks for western media propaganda articles because RuSSiAn STaTe MedIA

Libs never cease to amaze me

[–] Darthcapi@lemmy.ml -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So…no? I’m asking genuinely but I suspect you’re just trolling. Western liberal education taught me to find two sources to confirm a story. Also, as an American I don’t trust most of the ‘journalism’ I see today due to media consolidation and shady ownership. I Sure as hell don’t trust the White House or state department (regardless of administration) or any other government messaging. Additionally, the US concern for Ukraine is due to Cold War by proxy. If it wasn’t Russia we wouldn’t care.

the epstein oligarchy understand the truth perfectly. That's why they've spent millions burying it and why your hegemon's own OFFICIAL documentation -- like the FOIA releases -- flatly contradict the corporate or academic presses.
