It's become more important to be uber pro-Ukraine and less about factual reporting. A prime example of this is reporters gleefully reporting "Russia breaks Geneva Convention" whilst saying nothing about the Ukrainians filming Russian soldiers as propaganda and having the SF guys post "we won't take any artillerymen prisoners" both of which also break the Geneva Convention.

Now it's important to note that how Russia is breaking the Convention it is far worse than how the Ukraine is doing it but ignoring what the good guys are doing because they're the good guys whilst hyping what the bad guys are doing because they're the bad guys is not good reporting. However thats all been lost in the rush to more anti-Russian than the next paper because thats what sells right now.
:confused: how did you learn about either of those things if there wasn't factual reporting?
 
Keep this up and it will be Russia asking NATO for a no fly zone over Ukraine.
 
I donated yesterday, very easy to do so just text "SKY" to 70150 and then fill in the form it text back so they get a further 25%, essentially tax free donation which all goes to the charity.
i was looking at these Home | Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk) but looking further they are middle men or not directly , they then pass on the funds to 14 other agencies who also take a cut.
are there any charities that use most of the donations for these people rather than take cuts and pas it on to others.
 
Given the amount of abuse I've received for simply asking people to ask questions it's simply not worth posting here.

Carry on as you were everyone, delete the posts you don't like and ridicule people who you don't agree with.
Don’t give up that easy fella. We live in a free country alledgedly, your opinion is equally as important don’t let them attempt to bully you. They will throw out childish insults such as comrade and bot but you can find it as amusing as I do.
 

Nah that bit about air superiority isn't a quote AFAIK, just that tweeter throwing that in.

Seems more like there is contested airspace, Ukrainian helicopters are clearly at high risk if they try to resupply troops with stingers/NLAWs etc.

Thanks for a little bit of humanity at least. Everything seems so binary these days with no room for nuance or discussion.

Every time I post here I invariably regret it so I've learnt my lesson this time.

Yeah it’s just tribalism mate if you stand outside the tribe they will try and bully you. Bullies are weak so treat them as such.

Various verified Twitter accounts for the SF comments and then the MSM for the filming of troops, which happily show the videos but without them also mentioning that it breaks Article 13 of the GC - thats the lack of "factual" reporting.

It's a polarising topic and people are literally dying out there so emotions do take over at times. If the other person does not engage in an honest conversation then just put them on your ignore list and move on. You're not going to change views here, all you can do is take other's view to enrich your own and share your own view. That's all it is.
 
Well he was asked to share the sources that changed his views and he instead threw a strop. If the only person you're willing to engage with is someone most of the thread probably has on ignore then you're doing something wrong.

I know you’ve said what the Russians are doing is worse but it’s more than that, the two things are not comparable.
Shelling/missiles/cluster bombing of civilian areas is clearly being conducted under order by the chain of command.
Random Ukraine soldiers or in some cases civilians filming a captured Russian soldier on tik tok is a bit different and harder t prevent. It’ll also be way down on their priority list given that they got the Russian army actively trying to assassinate them.

It is a free country and you are free to post but we are also free to ridicule you. Cant have it both ways.

Releasing film of captured/surrendered soldiers does not, in and of itself, constitute breaking the Geneva Convention. Ironic that you're sharing this misinformation in such a post.
