Alright I'm gonna pop some smoke and take the heat off Rob...
This is all the media's next big wet dream. The next edition of the narative. Its all for show. This guy from england bought a ticket and walked right into Ukraine and documented what he saw. There may be fighting in certain areas and regions but not as extreme as they are making out. Why have we gone from 100% covid covid covid for 2 years to 100% Ukraine practically overnight.

Please excuse my bias but the second I read what seemed to be a boastful statement of being unvaccinated the remainder of the article somehow lost its credibility. Maybe this guy had health or Religious issues that warranted his choice to remain unvaccinated. If that is the case, I apologize for losing my objectivity. Remaining vigilant when it comes to the media is noteworthy. However, public vigilance should never approach autocratic demonization of sound journalism.

That's what they want, for you to lose your objectivity.
 
Weird how some people are willing to believe that events they did not personally experience are staged. Covid, Sandy Hook school shooting, moon landings, evolution, the earth being round, the list goes on.

Weird how on one hand the governments of the world could get together and stage a massive conspiracy with not a single leak, and on the other hand these global conspiracies can be easily revealed by some doofus with a cell phone camera just looking around.

Also, I bet "LezLuther" went on and on around the campfire about the "33" on Rolling Rock bottles.
So he staged all this? Theres a lot of video documenting otherwise.

Edit: Not saying this isnt happening... Just overhyped by the media. Yes people are dying and its horrible.

Kyiv has taken some hits (rockets/etc), however it's not yet under "siege", with the huge concern that it could/will be. Is that controversial? Why does he (lezluther) think that's controversial when it matches reporting? What reporting does he consume which he thinks he is repudiating? I'm confused.

I appreciate that he travelled to Kyiv, that is more than most would do. But it's a big country, I think he should buy a bus ticket to Mariupol if he wants to make such broad conclusions.

Whatever. I'm not going to waste time arguing with someone who thinks the war in Ukraine is a stage set and not really happening.

Edit: saw your edit after I posted this. I'm glad you recognize that people are dying and it is horrible. I disagree that the war is being overhyped by the media, but reasonable people could disagree about that.

Satellite imagery is showing big time destruction in Ukraine. Especially the east, north and south.
The blogs of this pro-Russian spammer with a smart phone is only effective on the weak minded.

Who is this ever present "they"?

So you would rather believe some person with a made up name (LezLuthor, really?) posting on "thread reader", that has no editorial process than believe reporters who put their names, professional reputations, lives and credibility on line. An yes, he could have staged - would not be the first


You're welcome to that I suppose, but I'll pass.

There is a lot of very sound journalism and video documenting the destruction.

(They) is the media complex. Those 3 or so companies that control all major media, that we are supposed to blindly believe despite that being corporations they need your 👀 constantly to make money and follow the 24 hour news cycle. I have more trust in the guy with the phone documenting stuff himself then the BBC. That being said I dont trust guy with a phone 100% either. I'm just trying to point out all might not be what it seems. Yet still I am attacked just for raising the question. I would call that a win for (them) (they) are getting exactly what they want.
 
Believe your eyes when it shows the dead bodies of Ukranian citizens including children and women.
Anybody who would try to justify or diminish this horror is as massively a f'd up person as one could be, end of discussion.
Not saying there are not dead bodies and its not horrible, it makes me sick this is all still happening in the 21st century. Questioning it does not diminish anything. Next I bet you will call me a Putin supporter.
 
Believe your eyes when you see it in person.

In modern times, consider all photos as media mania.
 
At our church, someone w Ukrainian ancestry was, prepandemic, holding Ukrainian Easter egg dyeing events.

This year, it was held again, and raised $1200 for Ukraine.

I do an event every year that raises thousands for Ukraine charities. Horror has been a part of life there for a long time.

A perfect example of someone motivated to do what they can to help, however minor it may be viewed by some folks.
They get a 'Like' from me.

Not attacking you, just questioning your ability to use reason and critical thinking.

So credible reporters who put their names and faces and put their professional reputations on the line are not to be trusted? But some anonymous figure who doesn't use his real name, will not risk his reputation and livelihood by using his real name has uncovered the truth? It's all a media hoax? The President of Ukraine is in on this media conspiracy; the President of the United States and his entire administration and all of Nato have been duped by the media (or are they just in on it, cuz , well, ya know). Even Putin admits to the invasion, the use of conscripts and foreign fighters, so he is in on it too? This is what you believe? All that rubble, which has been confirmed with geolocation, is made up (much easier to use stock footage of intact buildings than to fake rubble).

Faked?


All this just to keep the 24-hr news cycle going? They couldn't think of an easier story line, something along the lines of the Khardashian's?

I also find this somewhat offensive, as I have relatives in Ukraine not far from Odessa that we have not been able to contact in over a week.
 
I love a good conspiracy but I haven’t seen a good one since the women in the office got together and accused one of the engineers of sending them sex toys.
Well...he should have included batteries!

Funny how Rob knows everything except Wednesday's lottery numbers.
