Yes, it all started in 2014. We all know that. Genocidal maniac had eyes on Ukraine for long time. It's good thing that Russia is incompetent so "second army in the world" can't conquere highly corrupt and underequipted neighbor.
Do you watch CNN?
No. Haven't watch that in a loooong time.
Where do you get your news?
Do you verify its NOT propaganda or do you blindly trust them?
I get news from many different sources, and depending on how important it is or how big claim is i verify on the source. I get news from nostr, from x, from reddit from news portals that i follow, from other social networks etc. I don't really care where news came from because larger the clam, more i verify it closer to the source.
For example, when someone says that Russian economy is in problems, i go to official Russian Central Bank web site and read at their report and i can see that claim is a true. They are burning their fat and are basically cooked.
If someone claims that Ukraine attacked Russia first i go on to internet and i search for Ukrainian tanks and APC's crossing Russian borders (vides, photos, reports from Russian side, reports from Ukrainian side etc), than i search for other side and i compare dates and i see that Russia attacked Ukraine first etc.
I don't use news as source of absolute truth, no matter where they come from i use them as source of idea what to explore and what information to search for.
Of course, if some sources continuously show themselves to be truthful i will follow them more than other and again depending on how serious clam is will more or less check on the source.
