#1 Russia stooges now stink of desperation. Like their predecessors who worked for Goebbels.

Do they actually believe their own garbage? I imagine this was mainly for internal consumption in Russia to bolster the illusions built on lies - and one that Putin has used to play upon Russian cultural biases. Everyone is a N4zi, don't cha know.

Both sides are heavily pushing propaganda. I say treat all reports with skepticism until independent verification.

But the obvious lies are piling up on the Russian side. The previous war criminal acts of the 331 Regiment are well known by people who are paying attention, and they were at Bucha. Same goes for the Chechen animals the Russians employ. So accusations are plausible, and in the presence of evidence, are believable.

Given the Russian penchant historically for looting and pillaging, as well as rape and deliberate killing of civilians to incite terror (Grozny), these accusations are credible in the face of the satellite and photographic evidence coming to light.

In this case, independent and international news sources have verified many of these things that look like summary executions done by the KGB/GRU back in the day. Interrogated, beaten, then hands bound, one shot to the head.

Pravda, the irony is too much. It now has the same reputation for "truth" as to when it was a Soviet mouthpiece.

#2 "Hey, Hitlerite Whites, would it kill ya
To die in a fire?" inquired Ilya.
"Lie back and relax
As I fill ya with facts
Till ya parrot polite Russophilia!"

#3 Both sides are heavily pushing propaganda. I say treat all reports with skepticism until independent verification.

And a major reason why both sides are presented here.

Apparently, you've made up your mind. Bully for you!

#5 I always thought Entropy would be a good punk band name with the first album being named A tendency for Disorder to be the best evah.
