    I wonder what this would look like with more accurate figures. The numbers for Ukraine are constantly manipulated in the press.

    Additionally, the writer’s priority seems to be to emphasise the number of westerners or their allies that are killed.

    Look at this:

    at least 85,000 Iraqi civilians were killed, but some estimates place that total much higher.

    So why not report the more widely accepted figures? That’s asking a lot of the qualifier, ‘at least’.

    • Both sides ridiculously inflate the numbers tbh. But from what I can tell, Ukraine’s 100k dead is apparently not so far off; apparently the US confirmed them. As for Russia no idea. I’ve heard 10k but who even knows.

        We’ll know the real numbers of the war when it’s over, now it’s hard to differentiate reality from propaganda

    Yeah, but are they including the Uighur Genocide, which has killed the entire population of Xinjiang 300 times over?


  • civil war is when imperialist countries train, arm and fund people to rebel against your government and then the aforementioned countries occupy one third of your land


    civil war is when another country invades, steals territory and tries to genocide the population

    Well obviously the Ukraine war is worse than all the wars in the Middle East. People in Ukraine have blue eyes and blond hair, they’re practically human from western perspective.

    They need to justify it. They need the sheep to believe this si the single most important conflict in human history so that if it does spiral out of control, people don’t immediately blame the US government.

    Encyclopedia Britannica

    Forgive me for not taking seriously the publication that documented the colonization and genocide of the world, completely uncritically from the perspective of the colonizer.

      And then there are people who say: ‘‘acthually, Britannica is different than CNN, BBC, Guardian or Fox News, they don’t just repeat propaganda, it’s good research and history!!!’’
