    How are there not better sources than that? For all I know the book is Russian propaganda and the Telegram channels are conspiracy theorists who will say anything to convince me. Are there no videos and pictures of the events? 3rd party news sites? Anything cross-referencable?

    If I spent effort researching every rabbit hole someone on Lemmy said “trust me bro, you’ll understand after you dO yOuR rEaSEaRcH” I would be 80yrs old and hardly any more informed by now

      I think I’ve seen enough “behind the scenes” material from what is evidentially constructed attacks, I don’t think the presence of videos or pictures are great indicators if something is truthful.

      I think I’ve seen enough articles challenging whatever current narrative the mainstream holds disappear, I don’t think the lack of third party news articles is a great indicator that it never happened.
