#24  One or two of our readers need an occasional assist. My wife gives me a hand in the kitchen from time to time also.

#23  I've read Rantburg for 2 decades. I support the integrity of badanov.

#21  BTW. he, I and others have had the same nyms since 2001. The anonym cowards lurk temporal and on this one issue. Paid/not paid, ....still trolls. Pick a nym and stick with it if you want credibility
Posted by: Frank G   2022-04-03 17:03  

#20  I support Badanov completely. He's trying to show both sides in all their propaganda glory so you semi-sentient non-paid trolls can figure out yerself. If you can't handle it, go elsewhere , or get Spamcopped.

#19  I post summaries from the Russians and the Ukrainians, as well as from the breakaway republics. As to the rest, the great lion's share of information about the war is sourced from the Ukrainian ministry of defense.

The balance between the two sides is roughly six to one in favor of the Ukrainians. I don't begrudge the Ukrainian side their advantage in information, why should you begrudge the Russians their side?

I can't believe I am having to defend a position I have stated. Repeatedly:

Both sides will be presented, regardless.
Posted by: badanov   2022-04-03 16:26  

#18  If you get both sides, eventually the truth turns out to be one, the other or neither. All three outcomes are instructive with respect to future assessments of source materials.

#17  Besides, badanov has been posting here long before the Ukraine conflict started and has earned the right to post.
Posted by: ruprecht   2022-04-03 16:24  

#16  I agree with Besoeker. I prefer to have both sides views. We are currently in the most egregious propaganda war I've ever seen and hearing perspectives allow one to parse the reality from what is said (and unsaid).

#15  #12 Badonov is a Putin suck boy like several posters here are. If he was just giving 2 sides, he wouldn't have his big lie "De Nazification Operation" as his title.

"De Nazification Operation" was how the Russians entitled the article. "From the "Russian Perspective:" was my idea.

#14  when do decent humans care about any side that viciously invades a weaker neighbor? Since never.
Americans are decent humans. They still cared about America after America invaded Iraq, Cuba, Grenada. So are Israelis. Hasn't Israel invaded Lebanon and Gaza again and again? What's your point?

#12  REDACTED is a Putin suck boy like several posters here are. If he was just giving 2 sides, he wouldn't have his big lie "De Nazification Operation" as his title.

Plus, since when do decent humans care about any side that viciously invades a weaker neighbor? Since never.

#8  /\ No decent human ever should and why has Rantburg felt the need to give a tyrant's side of an international war effort?

All sides of the argument should be heard. Confirmations of good and evil is oftentimes determined in this manner. We must assume the Burg readership possesses sufficient synaptic energy to discern truth from fiction, good from evil, fly shi* from pepper.

#7  Badanov scrupulously posts the perspectives of the Ukraine, Russia, and the "breakway republics". That's a good thing to do, and doesn't mean that either badanov or anyone else here is pro-Putin.

#6   No decent human ever should and why has Rantburg felt the need to give a tyrant's side of an international war effort?

They are no less an invader and mass murderer than their CCCP heirs were when they invaded Afghanistan in 1979.

I know why the fringe right is pro Russian, it would be good for the onwership of Rantburg to explain why they are in Putin's pr pocket like Tucker Carlson is.

#5  ^ I hear you. And again, thanks for your excellent posting.

#4   badanov, you do us all a service by posting these different perspectives, and I thank you for that. But after seeing the photos and reports from Bucha, I find that today I don't give a flying fork what the Russian perspective is. Maybe tomorrow.

I doubt anyone was killed. The photos I saw appeared to be staged, similar to what the Syrian "White Helmets" did a few years back.

But then, we can't know the whole story given that western media only follows the Ukrainian version of events, given the Russian defense ministry website is blocked.
