    Not sources I know at all, just trying to provide something that an individual who thinks Scheerpost is Russian propaganda for some illogical reason will give more validity. All mainstream propaganda spins the story to paint the US as the hero, which alone should make you highly curious of the other side to the story.

    But based on your user name, it makes way more sense a primative eukaryotic lifeform struggles to decipher the massive bias from mainstream news sources these days lol.

      Based on what did you come to the conclusion I think this website is Russian propaganda? I’m talking about you, and what you said, that the “US invaded Ukraine first.” It doesn’t say that anywhere here.

      Of fucking course mineral wealth is part of this conversation. Putin the as explicitly stated as much, and there’s a reason he went after oil-rich portions of Ukraine first. Russia is trying to take Ukraine’s mineral wealth away from its people, while ethnically cleansing the land it has taken. This is not “western propaganda,” Russia has admitted to removing Ukrainian civilians involuntarily into Russia and taking their children from them to be raised by Russians.

      I’m attuned to the study of Chomsky, Bernays, et al, and try to get information from a variety of worldwide sources. Being discerning about western bias in our own news media doesn’t mean you should reflexively believe whatever comes out of Russia, bro.
