Woah careful there, we don't do "truth" in here.

If you don't tow the OCUK line and accept as gospel fact (and not some occasional propaganda) every single pro-Ukrainian post then you'll get called a Pro-Putin Troll/Bot/Stooge by the people who, just last week, you were agreeing with when they called for the torture and murder of someone just because they did the same thing first.

except the post you quoted was 4 hrs old and no one had done that. FWIW I really hate it when the media post photos made to look like they are from a certain event but it turns out they are "illustrative" only.
I mean, what happened was disgraceful enough, there was no need to sensationalise it with the hand. but sadly most media does it.

The picture of the hand is somewhat insignificant.
Is the story true is really what we should be concerned about.

The equivalent of when BBC use a Getty image to show someone filling up a car on an article about price rises.

We get it, we understand and most of us know what a hand looks like.
I suspect they didnt stop to document the hand at exactly the right point for a twitter photo.

Whilst some may go OMG thats not HER hand and fixate on that, maybe they would not be so keen to see the real thing semi decomposed and possibly even mutilated or showing other details you wouldn't want to see, such as being tied.
 
I'm not so naïve to believe every story I see, but I'm also sure that Russian troops aren't just running around being friendly as well.

100% there is raping and pillaging going on, some of what has been reported is probably only scraping the surface.

So is the rest illustrative too?

Off-topic ... but hexagonal ice crystal got overused as an insult and the mods were hacked off enough with having to deal with it they banned the word. There's also a ban on the name of a certain lovely town on the North Wales coast.

This place has its delightful quirks :D

Well that's not really true, is it? If something is posted that's demonstrably untrue then I don't think anyone in here has an issue with the record being set straight? Or you can choose not to believe that and stay on your high horse about lefty liberals or some such nonsense, whatever suits your agenda I suppose.

Yeah, the majority of posts here are pro-Ukrainian, because the majority believe they aren't the ones on the wrong side of this conflict. And yes, some posters get pilloried for their views when the narrative seems to be in almost every post anti-Ukrainian. But that's in much the same way I think a flat earther or creationist should be shot down in a debate with a scientist. They are absolutely free to have whatever opinion they want. Just don't expect people to put up with someone telling them the world is flat.
If you want to support them or their position then chime in whenever you want rather than sniping at people attacking their position.
