[Regnum] The arrest by the Belarusian authorities of the blogger Roman Protasevich , which was preceded by the forced landing of the plane on which Protasevich flew from Greece to Lithuania, received many different assessments from the Russian audience. Its liberal part was predictably outraged by the "violation of international law" and demanded that the Western countries severely punish the regime of Alexander Lukashenko...

So it's yet another "Who is the least villainous villain?" situation with that plane being forced down. And everyone is calling everone else a Nazi.
Another Wendesday in the wild wild East eh Badinov?

I think it's noteworthy that the Russians tell the same lies and half-truths about their enemies that the liberal leftists do here in the US: "They're Nazis!" And then they pretend to hate each other.
(By-now old joke from 20 years ago: "In the future everyone will be Hitler for fifteen minutes.")

Just showing Russian views of events on their own border.

The difference is one has a legitimate beef against Nazis, and the other doesn't what they're talking about.
[News With Views] The Netflix documentary, "American Murder," tells the story of a Colorado man who killed his pregnant wife and kids so he could start a new life with his mistress. I look forward to the Netflix documentary, "Chinese Mass Murder," on how the Red Chinese regime released a biological weapon on the world, as part of a plan to destroy the United States and other Western nations, in order to achieve global domination.
Perhaps Barack Hussein Obama can recommend such a film, since Barack and Michelle Obama signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce original shows.
I somehow doubt it.
Perhaps Netflix can also prepare a documentary on the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, labeled a "killer" by the American president China Joe Biden. Putin has been linked to the poisoning of various dissidents who threaten his power. Nevertheless, Biden is meeting with Putin on June 16. This is a killer Biden can do business with. Xi is another.
Not only that, but Biden has preceded the Putin meeting by approving his lucrative gas pipeline to Germany, giving the dictator leverage over Europe. Perhaps Biden’s next summit meeting will be with the Chinese president, to say all is forgiven for releasing a virus that has killed almost 600,000 Americans.
President Xi makes Putin look like a piker when it comes to extermination campaigns.
The mind of a murderer is something to ponder.
The Netflix show is instructive in that the killer, Chris Watts, demonstrates how he was able to lie with a straight face and deny any role in the murders. He was a very good liar. After killing his family, he comes to his house to meet with neighbors and police looking for them. He acts as if he is genuinely perplexed by them going missing. He calls his wife, as if he is expecting her to answer. He uses the media as a mouthpiece to find the "truth."
This cold and calculating approach to mass murder is contrasted with home videos of the family having fun and enjoying life. An observer must have thought this poor guy was a physical and emotional wreck as authorities try to find his loved ones. The "worried husband" Watts is captured in body cam and interrogation footage as the police try to find the missing family members. He seems cooperative. The only discordant note is one neighbor saying that Watts seemed unusually nervous as they search an empty house and watch security camera footage of Watts’ truck backing up to his garage.
By contrast, China’s fingerprints have been all over the virus from the start. Yet apologists for the regime, such as Bill Gates, didn’t even want to call it the China virus.
The evil monster Chris Watts is indeed an American murderer, but he is also the personification of a Chinese regime which claimed the China virus came from animals, even from American soldiers or an American lab. Chinese officials were using the disinformation techniques of Soviet officials. They were determined to escape any blame for engineering a virus that has killed millions.
