      OP’s posting history consists entirely of spamming such Putin-propaganda and similarly manufactured stories all over lemmy.

        Learn how to disagree.

        I’m not going to lend idiots like Clayon Morris any credibility by arguing their position in good faith when they didn’t arrive at their position in good faith in the first place.

        Knowing the source is enough to discredit and discard this video. They’re vatniks. They produce garbage. Garbage belongs in the garbage bin. The end.

          I’ve read Seymour Hersh’s Pulitzer Prize-winning report “How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline”. I stopped reading that “vatnik soup” when it dismissed them for reporting on the US blowing up the Nord Stream. The US government’s weak attempt at misdirection with the Chinese weather balloon only reinforces Hersh’s report. Anyone who doesn’t take Hersh’s report seriously is not credible. Moreover, the fact that Clayton Morris reported it while the rest of the media focused on the balloon only makes me think he’s more credible than most of the media.

        So how many sockpuppet/bot accounts do you have? Every comment you post immediately gets a +4. There’s absolutely no way that less than 1 minute after you post a comment on a Lemmy post that’s already downvoted to shit immediately gets 4 genuine upvotes unless you’re manipulating it.

        Edit: and now the fake insta-upvotes on his comments disappeared, someone’s getting rid of the evidence lol

          On kbin instances you can see the identities of everyone who’s upvoted and downvoted a post, I’m looking forward to there being better tools for automatically identifying clusters of sockpuppets and bots like this.

            Yeah but kbin still has huge issues with properly replicating posts, comments and votes from Lemmy instances. It often doesn’t match up with what I see on Lemmy itself.

        If someone linked you a 1.75 hour long video from Radio Free Asia/Europe, Voice of America, or Ukraine Pravda, would you sit through the whole thing just to make a counter argument, or would you (correctly) point out that they are garbage sources that should be disregarded?

          You could say the same about any other news source you dislike. You are just comparing it with news sources you already know get funded by the West without any basis.

    What infuriates me the most is my tax payer money paying for Ukrainians to have sex. Why can’t that money help me have sex? Absolutely crossing the line here.

        Ignore the shill account. It was only created 8 hours ago with this single post. Most likely will be seen again soon claiming mock outrage about fake news in some other country. This is just what Veritas and the other Russian trolls do to stroke daddy Puddin’s ego.

          I interpreted this particular comment as a joke. I still think it is, it’s just taking an opportunity to say “I’d like the government to hire hookers for me.”

    U.S. bullying ends now!

    So… when does Russia bullying end then? Or does that not exist?

      It is impossible for the good guys to bully anyone. Anything done by the good guys is, by definition, good, and so cannot be bullying, which is bad.

      That only works against properly presented arguments, which nothing in your video is. When your source is a mess of gish galloping propaganda, then it is indeed the only sound choice to criticise the source.
