The person I was replying to wrote "Common theme I've heard here (Kyiv, Ukraine)". They (Ukraine) are at war so everything in their media or stated by government and President is part of their war propaganda machine. That's how war works.
The West is effectively part of the war so we cannot trust anything we're told there, either.
The only thing we can do is think for ourselves.
Oh and I've just realised that my initial comment has been flagged! You could not make this up... Very disappointing.
Sorry, you're right. I should've read through the comment again instead of rely on my memory from yesterday.
And yeah, there will be propaganda on both sides. That doesn't really change what I said tho.
And you're right, pointing out that there's a difference between a dictator and their country is a common propaganda technique. But it's also just true, and if it's not part of your analysis you're probably doing it wrong.
And to be clear, I'm not arguing in favor of either side, I don't have any clue who did this and I'm not trying to pretend I do.
