Russia has gained the 4 Russian speaking eastern Ukrainian states and has fortified Crimea.

They have also destroyed the Ukraine army.

Two separate western sources put the Ukrainian dead at 300,000 while two other independent western sources (one being the Pentagon) put the Russian dead at 30,000 to 40,000.

While apopting talking points from all dark corners of the internet and call everything else for MSM propaganda is better? What is your goal with posting this on a forex website? More than anything I see onesided rethoric from twitter posts, which more often than not selfproclaimed "Truthseekers" and people that claim to know the truth. MSM is untruhtful so you have to CREATE your own truth? What about looking at your own ignorance, and start seeking different avenues, other than playing into the same rethoric day after day. If your point is to start a conversation or dialogue of what's going on in Ukraine, maybe we should start having an open dialogue, instead of perfecting your own bias and narrative. You don't have to watch on the news to be "completely in the dark", you are fully capable to make that "darkness" on your very own (ignorance).

What would Noam Chomsky say about your journalism? Are you interested in the truth? Or to strengthen your very own narrative, and tell that everyone else is stupid? What then, differs you from the untruthful politicans and "propaganda" media"? What makes you a credible source of "news"? How can someone trust in someone that takes the truth to be the average of, carefully selected "news" organizations around the world. Is the truth a median?

My point with this post, is that, you say: " relying on television news you would be completely in the dark". But when someone exhange the Television news with other "untruthful news" doesnt this throw you in the dark in the very same way that you criticize them for? I don't know enough about the Ukranian war to make any solid argumentation for the one or the other. Why? Because I know my own ignorance to not to tell everyone else what to think.

I know a great deal about our society and where it's going after my 10 years in school and doctorate degree. I recommend reading about "The allegory of the cave", and start exploring your own biases. What are those shadows on the wall? Are they created from society alone? Or could it be your very own creations?
This page is getting beyond ridicolous...

Sidenote: My intention isn't to stop your work in researching about the war and the consequences of it. I enjoy much of what you're saying, heck, i sometimes agree, but it's getting dangerously onesided at times. And maybe try to not to be to judgemental of other views and opinions. The only way to move forward is trough respectful conversations.

Best of luck!
