... Clearly you are on the side of the majority. ...
... The SAME side as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Sean Hanity, like 90% of the Congress Critters and 99.9% of MSM. How does that make you feel?
... Lies and misinformation are addressed within minutes by indy reporters ...

I don’t see any evidence of that on the Russian side, but from 2014, we have seen it on the Ukrainian side.
I am on the side of facts, logic and intellectual honesty. Unlike some of you, I'm not emotionally invested in any side. I don't believe youtubers and bloggers misrepresentation of facts (many of which I have pointed out though no one here seems to acknowledge it) just because it aligns with what I want to believe (that's that cognitive bias I keep talking about).
Classic logical fallacy.
victoria nuland testifying that there are bio labs in ukraine. and she says that it's a big deal because russia might get their hands on what's in those labs. ...
To liberate requires invading.
We all meet in the middle and call it good. lol
You haven't been looking then. I don't post it here, because just like the tons of BS pushed by Russian propagandists, I have no way to verify whether video, audio etc. is staged/fake or real. That said, there are tons of examples of Russian soldiers on tape claiming that their Russian commanders committed war crimes directly, ordered them to commit war crimes and generally do evil shit. You aren't going to see it if you only follow Russian propagandists for your "news".
"Don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff." In the grandest of all scheme of things, I think that is at least worth considering, and maybe even more....
Little Lies (2002 Remaster) (3:39)
every liberation does not require an invasion
the liberation can come from within
Your "indie reporters" are pushing Russian state propaganda. They work for Russian state media and in some cases are embedded with the Russian military. Who is kidding who here?
... what they're doing in those labs is considered against the law in the US.
It's no logical fallacy. You clearly agree with Joe Biden here, do you Not? ...
Says the propagandists. Show some proof.
Don't read the link or understand my post. Double down on the logic fallacy. Bold strategy!
What proof do you have to support your claim that anything done in Ukrainian labs would have been illegal in the States? If your comment is based upon Russian accusations, you really need to check your cognitive bias and read through the debunking that the Russian scientists (again, not MSM NWO, CIA NSA tools) shared in the link I provided previously (and again below):
Russia Is Lying About Evidence of Bioweapons Labs in Ukraine, Russian Biologists Say
A careful look at the evidence Russia cites for its claim that bioweapons were being developed in Ukraine has been largely missing from global speculation.theintercept.com
Then you really need to read through the "biolabs as propaganda ploy" work that @searcher shared here for much needed context on the big picture (hint: this playbook has been used before):
News, propaganda and confirmation bias
Oh, so now you enjoy Russian state media. Just posting what comes down the pike. I'm sure it's all over the BBC...? Edit by PMBug: I moved some posts here from another thread as this was not germaine to the original topic.www.pmbug.com

I haven't seen any paycheck stubs from the Russian state that prove your assertion that you so deftly 'prove' using that forthright source wikipedia. In fact all the videographers seem to appreciate the financial support that viewers give them. The really odd part is how they've been tried in abstentia by their own countries for their reporting, bank accounts seized, effects confiscated, yet our own media, which you'd have to have been living under a rock to have missed it, lies to us daily and has for decades. Then again there is the theft of anything 'Russian' by the west from Russian citizens. Yachts for one. Totally illegal. So, exactly who is breaking the law here??Your "indie reporters" are pushing Russian state propaganda. They work for Russian state media and in some cases are embedded with the Russian military.

I have heard the people being interviewed by Patrick Lancaster however. These are not sophisticated "California type" people. Neither is he when it comes to reporting. He's kind of dorky in that respect. Learning as he goes. He is getting better though.
The Ukrainian people are simple country folks. These interviews are not scripted. They are from the heart. These folks are like Appalachian mountain people without the mountains. Missing teeth, tattered clothes. Some don't want to be interviewed because they fear retribution from the Ukrainian side - who have a kill list btw. The nature of the front line is that each side comes and goes. If you have a white armband when the Ukrainians advance you might get dead. Blue armbands showed you were Ukrainian friendly.
Nobody has to view the videos. I realize folks want to read text, but videos by their very nature are not 'readable'. We all know text is unemotional. You don't get feelings in texts and sometimes it is misconstrued because there are no feelings other than stupid emojis and LOLZ.
In these 'highly suspect' videos I've seen where the Ukrainians staged a street with cars and dead bodies blaming the Russians for a massacre after they left. It had been 3 or 4 days since they moved out. How do I know it was staged other than that was the point of the video? If one knows anything about dead bodies they would know that rigor mortis sets in and bloating. There was none of this apparent in the video. It was all over MSM. The evil Russian soldiers killed civilians! The other 'error' was they didn't remove the white armbands. Now ask yourself why would the Russians be shooting friendlies? Why would Russia bomb the nuclear plant they have confiscated? Why would Russia blow up Nordstream II? It defies logic to believe any of that nonsense.
Then there are the fake news stories of bombing hospitals and schools all made up to blame Russia. Never mind that the people being interviewed were saying the Ukrainians were setting up and firing artillery in those areas which naturally got the intended response. The people also said the Ukies were shooting buildings with tank fire. Remember? The west calls the east 'separatists'? It's akin to calling Japanese '<redacted - see forum guidelines on epithets>s', or Germans 'krauts' etc. They don't care if they live. They also have been bombing the Donbas and Luhansk for 8 years, but somehow that fact is missed in the analysis. Only about 15,000 killed so far!
If Russia was truly fomenting war the would have taken out the electric grid, communications, sanitation right from the start, just like we did in Iraq. That is how war is fought. You destroy infrastructure making it impossible for society to exist. Kiev is still standing. Power is on, water is flowing etc.
There is a reason Putin said this was a SMO. International Law. Funny thing is he's actually following it unlike the west. Declaring 'war' is another legal term that causes all manner of actions to happen.
If you all are so 'read happy' I suggest you read every one of Putin's speeches for starters. I think you will see a different Putin once you do. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a million or more!
What everyone seems to be missing is the reason for this political charade. We've all heard and seen snippets of it over the years. They have told us what their plan is. It's all over this site even.
The BIG picture: The Great Reset.
Getting rid of Trump was the reason for Covid. Upsetting the natural order of things, i.e., civilization, was accomplished using a made up disease. Oh sure, there is a sickness that was released upon the world. We now know it was a manufactured bio weapon. I've read where it was started in N. Carolina (?) and Obama said 'that violates US law' (he didn't want that jacket on his back) so they took it offshore (Ukraine) where it ended up in Wuhan - Who better to demonize than the Chinese? A virus scare ensued like never before for a 98% survivable disease.
If you've been paying attention you all know the hospitals were following a protocol from the WHO (look up Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus the guy who runs that operation). Also, again... watching videos check out Amazing Polly on bitchute and her fantastic digs into PEPFAR, Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, GAVI, Fauci, and all the interconnecting webs of funding and who is on who's board of directors. It would require weeks of writing to cover what she does in 40 minutes and it's not just ONE video. More like 20.
The phony PCR test that was run out to 40X. The inventor of the PCR just 'happened' to die in 2019. The President of Tanzania John Magufuli sent PCR samples that he had randomly assigned human names and ages to a Tanzanian lab. One test was from a goat. The other was from a paw paw, a fruit. They 'tested' positive for Covid! He refused the jab for all of Tanzania. He died 5 weeks later of a 'heart attack'. In fact 2 other African leaders met a similar fate for refusing the jab for their people. Ever hear of the 'heart attack gun'?
Trump upset the NWO applecart. She was supposed to win. Their 16 year plan was 8 years of Obama (confiscation of the 2nd Amendment - he failed), then 8 years of Hillary who would get us into a nuclear war with... of all nations Russia! Imagine that!! This 'war' would be one the US would lose. Nations that lose wars also lose their Constitution! How do I know this? Remember naval ships running into other ships? Are we that sloppy? No, but when Hillary has a private server feeding top secret intel to whomever donated to her foundation it's not a stretch to figure out they acquired access codes to ships GPS logs and locations. It would be a simple task to hack in and alter it.
Then there was Hillary's 'sale' of 1/4 of US uranium to Russia known as Uranium 1. Turns out that U1 has a unique marker (as does all uranium produced) that identifies the batch. It so happens that 'No Name' (John McCain) took a canister of THAT U1 to Iran who was manufacturing a nuke in Syria (remember? Trump blew that operation up?) Imagine having a nuclear device that could be set off in say Ukraine...? The unique marker would implicate Russia! You'd have instant war and not just the US, the WHOLE WORLD would be behind taking Russia out for using a nuke in Ukraine. That WAS the plan if not for Trump turning the tables on the Deep State NWO by daring to run AND win the POTUS! I think certain parts of the military were backing him. Remember "Do you know what this is? The calm before the storm?"
Then there is Jon Herold, who uses the nom de guerre Patel Patriot. If you are hell bent on reading this is right up your alley!
Jon has the unique ability to suss out in great detail from published sources what he calls Patel Patriot’s Devolution Series enjoy! Therein you will learn what he thinks is really going on behind the scenes of MSM political obfuscation. I think he's up to #24 now?
Are you starting to see the big picture? It's always been Russia Russia Russia! Beginning with 'Russia helped Trump get into office'. The $40 million Mueller investigation that was a total farce - actually it was to cover up their criminal activities. The fake Steele Dossier? That and the Alpha Bank hoax were proven in court under oath by Durham was paid for by Hillary in opposition to Trump. The corruption of the FBI at the highest levels? It's an invasion by infiltration, not head to head combat.
In the past wars were fought by first dehumanizing the opposition using the media to get the people to support a war, but today the internet makes fooling the populace much much harder.
I could go on for the rest of the day enlightening those who haven't been paying attention as I have, but I have to do what I've been doing for the past 20 years... researching the above!
So with all due respect, don't be telling me I don't know what I'm talking about especially when you all are late to the party.
You got a LOT of catching up to do!

Is that supposed to be an intellectually honest response? Your indie reporters are producing content published by Russian state media. That's a statement of fact that is easily verified. Eva has collaborated with a Russian media employee (RT reporter IIRC). Also an easily proven fact. Patrick is embedded with the Russian military and has been caught staging/fabricating scenes for his video reporting. Also easily proven facts. I've already covered all this, but if you with to ignore it, that's on you. It's not honest though.

We going to just keep repeating bs until folks believe it?
Excellent essay, I just don't do essay's though. Not my style. I'd love someone to explain how this area was being bombed for 8 years if its all Russia's fault.
8 years and 17,000 people dead in the Donbas region , blame goes on cia backed deviant maggot Zelenski , depending on who’s rag one reads
those regions that recently had a referendum and are now part of Russia have been liberated and are now defending their homeland with the help of Russia
Mission Accomplished
lulz.
Isn't a liberation that comes from within called a revolution?every liberation does not require an invasion
the liberation can come from within

Russia thought they were going to march in and take over the country in 3 days. They weren't trying to destroy infrastructure at start because they didn't expect the resistance they faced.
What the US did in Iraq was unconscionable. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I have skimmed through them. I just don't have a cognitive bias that interprets his words as gospel truth.
Yeah, from what I have seen and had time to investigate so far, a lot of the "news" that informs the common big picture amongst some of you is misconstrued at best and outright bullshit at worst. I have addressed numerous instances like this in the forum.
This is one of the huge problems I see where cognitive bias (ie. you want it to be true) shuts down critical thinking (. ie you don't do any due diligence analyzing primary sources). I'm using "you" in a general sense here, not specific to you Goldhedge.
That seems to be a two-way street here?We going to just keep repeating bs until folks believe it?
I would really like to see any evidence to prove your belief that:
"Russia thought they were going to march in and take over the country in 3 days. They weren't trying to destroy infrastructure at start because they didn't expect the resistance they faced."
