    Not to detract from the horribleness of this, but in case anyone else is wondering how Ukraine had/has the world's highest mortality rate with the Gaza genocide unfolding, the latter isn't counted because America doesn't recognize Palestine.

    Then don't. Your remark comes across as disrespectful. Don't put horrible things as if it were an atrocity competition.

    I'm not; I was just explaining the background of the "highest mortality rate" thing because it's not what one would expect (or at least not what I expected). I wasn't trying to compare the two.

    Are you claiming the 81 Russian attacks on maternity centers didn’t happen, or that they did and it just isn’t a big deal?

    How incompetent would Russia need to be to “accidentally” attack 81 maternity centers? Unless you think Ukraine is just covered in maternity centers for some reason?

    Please clearly state which part of this is untrue. Just saying “western propaganda” is a thought terminating cliche and you know it.

    That didn't happen.
    And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
    And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    And if it is, that's not Putin's fault.
    And if it was, he didn't mean it.
    And if he did, the Ukrainians deserved it.

    Two great assumptions here; that I don’t already read “non-western news sources” and that any different narrative is somehow more true?

    Just because Putin says he’s “liberating” Ukraine doesn’t make it any more true than when the Nazis said they were “liberating” Poland. Non-western sources have exactly as much reason to lie to you as western sources do, and it’s kinda up to you to figure that out instead of slavishly consuming state media but it’s a different state so it must be more gooder!

    Instead of disgustingly mocking victims of war crimes and revelling in human tragedy, just go away and be one of Putin's useful idiots with the other tankies in one of your tankie communities.

    You are KGB's wet dream. Putin invaded Ukraine.

    Even if "Western Propaganda" is saying he's eating babies, not sure why your so eager to come here and defend Putin, like his honor needs to be protected. lol

    To some people "seeing through western propaganda" means deciding what to believe by whatever the opposite of western forces want

    Hate to break it to you but that's not thinking for yourself, in fact it takes no more self reflection and thought than it would to just blindly believe it all

    Isn't it about time that Ukraine starts reciprocating attacks until Putin deceases or is deceased?
