It's fascinating that the people telling us never to trust the empire's word are suddenly turned into bleating sheep right out of "Animal Farm" and repeating pro-regime propaganda.

Remember when they lied about Iraq? What's changed to make them trustworthy?

FFS - Chipit - this isn't about "the empire's word" or whatever. (There's plenty of raw footage available for you to consider.)

When you find yourself parroting pro-regime media, it's time to step back and ask if you may have crossed a line.

Indeed - like Fox and others have done. (A regime is authoritarian.)

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

Yes - which is being used again by Putin (a fascist/authoritarian) to murder Ukrainians, by calling some of them fascists/Nazis. Whataboutism is in this case used to justify war crimes. Don't support war crimes, Chipit.

That's because they ARE Nazis. Did we miss the Maidan coup in 2014 that was spearheaded by Ukrainian Nazis? This wasn't a secret. Here's an unwelcome education: https://www.foiaresearch.net/organization/misanthropic-division

The Misanthropic Division is a world-wide neo-Nazi network, which in 2014 emerged in Ukraine, some of whose members fought as mercenaries against pro-Russian separatists in the war in Donbass. The Misanthropic division is closely linked to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, now part of Ukraine's National Guard. It fights for the independence of Ukraine - both from Russia and the European Union - with the goal of establishing a Nazi state.

Don't support Nazis - oops too late.
