Andrew Milburn is awesome. Bought his book because of you guys. Keep up the amazing work!

Gotcha soundbites have sadly become common in media for awhile.

[@deadmanwalking6342]

Not taken out of context as Milburn confessed later he should not have said what he said! LOL

[@jamesallred6802]

When referencing Spanish civil war “Fight the nationalists” I think he meant?

[@ilyadashevsky9347]

Excellent work! You guys did the right thing by producing this segment to address the entire "taking Andrew Milburn's words out of context" controversy.

The addition of your context did not change the original implication what so ever. You have essentially replicated the "missing context" flag of the propagandistic "fact check" ie. fact manipulation organizations. I suppose in this sense you have given your audience a lesson in manipulation.

Well said. All of the blue and yellow avatars and melodrama is getting old...like this guy says, the Kiev regime isn't a model regime, least of all vis-à-vis Russian.

[@hugow.5973]

the "Kyiv regime" would have been gone next election cycle because Zelensky had a terrible approval rating due to using a helicopter for private use. But his campaign manager Putin helped him out and made him super popular. Also more Countries joining NATO. I want to hire him if i ever get into politics.

Sadly it's probably anger that drives the minority of Ukrainian soldiers to maybe do some horrible things they are losing ppl they love their land russian have shown videos of them beheading Ukraine soldiers stabbing them to death but I know that the majority of Ukrainian soldiers are not like that

Еще видел ролики, где уепки из кракена по ногам стреляют просто так на камеру. Пропаганда это его ссылка на то, будто украинцы так делают, потому что русские сначала так сделали. Только это не так. Все обвинения украины в адрес русских строятся на вранье. У прокуратуры украины нет ни одного реального дела об изнасиловании. И это по заявлениям самой прокуратуры украины. Изнасилования у них есть только в телевизоре. И эти фейки они используют прикрывая свои гнусные реальные преступления. Сегодня по факту США поддерживают нациков, вполне себе реальных. Впрочем им не в первой, в Сирии они поддерживали террористов, отмазывая это тем, что они якобы были какими-то умеренными. Все это дерьмо мы уже много раз проходили.

He should forward such videos to the Hague, NATO, UN so that these people can be tried after the war ends. Such evidence may evaporate with time.

[@ilyadashevsky9347]

This phenomena is a visceral reaction to the discovery of the Russian atrocities in Bucha, Irpen', Izyum, Kupyansk, Balakleya, Kherson, etc, as well as to the indiscriminate targeting of the Ukrainian infrastructure by the Russians to break the will of the Ukrainian people.

[@reginaldwelkin]

@@ilyadashevsky9347 Maybe, but does it make it right? Evidence for that should also be forwarded. On that topic, I find it disingenuous for the US to judge such activity after our atrocities in WWII. Sure, we were fighting evil, but targeting civilians "to break the will of the people" was not taking the high road. More people were killed with fire bombing, than were killed with nuclear bombs.

[@ilyadashevsky9347]

@@reginaldwelkin WRT WWII, you have no right to judge the US actions by contemporary standards. After what Luftwaffe did in London, Coventry, Rotterdam, Leningrad, and Gorkiy, US, by the standards of the time, was fully justified in doing what it did. WRT Ukraine, you are sliding ino he sin of equalizing aggressor and the victim.
