No, the Intel Crab is my source, and he's an open source journalist (independent) who is actually there on the scene, and he happens to have an account on Twitter. I care not what Twitter has to say directly, and yeah Russian propaganda was filtered on there due to the bullshit lies they were posting. I remember those US bombing campaigns, and I was outraged by them back then just like I'm outraged at Russian war crimes now. Don't dis the source just because he shared something that you may disagree with.

What analysts? The crooked ones from SouthFront? There are equally other qualified analysts that disagree and say the Russian Military is indeed committing war crimes. Mitigating civilian casualties you say? Yeah freaking right, there have multiple documented instances of the Russian Military deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians, but you won't hear about that in the Russian propaganda news outlets though. Reality is Russia is not having an easy time taking over Ukraine, why do you suppose there's renewed threats from Putin to use chemical attacks? Putin doesn't deny either that option is on the table for him. You want to talk about brainwashed, just what in the hell are your sources exactly? I wasn't getting my info from Twitter, I got it from an independent journalist who is actually on the scene over in Ukraine, big difference there between following an independent journalist and directly following what Twitter has to say. I'm not stupid, I know why you had to deflect the "fake news" ploy on me, because what I shared above makes you uncomfortable, it is actual evidence of an intercepted communication between Russian soldiers talking about indiscriminately killing civilians, so now you want to deflect and cry fake news. I don't believe Russia itself is backwards, its leader Putin and his regime is what's backwards. Your personal attacks (calling me brainwashed ploy) along with your blatant dismissal of actual evidence to the contrary of what you wish to believe to be true are the hallmarks of someone who is in denial of reality, and that reality is your boy Putin and his tyrannical regime are indeed responsible for carrying out ruthless attacks on innocent civilians. Don't worry dude, I won't have to pick up a gun and go fight the Russians in Ukraine, Putin will keep pressing his luck and screw up somehow, probably by using weapons of mass destruction, and then the US will be forced to get involved and they'll use their nukes on Russia and wipe that terrorist scum off the face of this world. Once you resort to personal attacks, you lose the argument, as someone only falls back on such tactics when they know the narrative that they wish to be true is falling apart right before their eyes. Keep believing what Putin has to say, in the meantime the other side is documenting his many war crimes/crimes against humanity.

@SpikeTalon LOL, only Russia is passing off BS and lies, yeah, sure. How credulous?

@SpikeTalon I will wait to see how the truth unfolds because it always bubbles to the surface. The analysts I speak of are the likes John Mershheimer, Noam Chomsky, The Duran group, and many others warned that NATO expansion on top of Russia will cause war
