Seeing as the west and Ukraine knowingly used tons of videogame footage and pushed it on us as real war footage, or used footage from Ukrainian soldiers and called them Russian if they do something ugly.

They lied knowingly to us several times, why trust them now?

I will just wait for the real information to come out, for the real war crimes investigations to finish. We will know then who was the war criminal.

Oh yes, yes, I'm sure they have.

Nah, you'll find some other excuse.

Yes, they did:

The magnificent irony of when pcgamer does better information than most newspapers. And there's plenty more material confirmed to be fake out there.

This is the ideal media environment for pro war hot emotional takes.

It looks like you are looking for any excuse to not see things for what they are.

Look who you're defending, man.

And if it wasn't for the NATO you hate so much, those same Russians would be doing this to you and your people, maybe for generations already.

I'm done here.

I have just one last word of advice. I'm sure your views are fine in Italy, but keep them to yourself in Eastern Europe or other places where people have personal experience with Russia. Saying what you're saying out loud around people who lost friends and family to Russia would get you hurt.

So your last argument is some whataboutism, where you share more fake news from the same media that used videogame footage to push their narrative? Go ahead, your choice.
