Bad stuff happens in war. Innocents are killed. Atrocities happen. War is the ultimate human folly. I won't take no moral high ground or be selective with my rage; for both sides have committed terrible atrocities. That is what happens when Humans are pushed to the extremes. I would also like to hear what the Russians have to say on the matter. Did their soldiers do that? It is a distinct possibility that they did; that their under trained, low educated conscripts totally lost control and committed those heinous acts. Or did the Ukrainians use bodies that had died in the fighting (it is a warzone after all) and moved them into positions that created the images we now see splashed across our screens?
I have zero belief in the narrative the west is spinning. As I pointed out on a previous post: It wasn't that long ago the British media had it in for Zelensky. What changed? How has the little comedian, and his country, gone from corrupt Nazi sympathisers, to bastions of freedom and virtue in the span of a proverbial eye blink? I think these are valid questions to be asked.
It could be. Crying that a whole nation is inhabited by nazis that are a threat to the Russian people has just worn thin with me there’s been no evidence of that.
As you say in war everyone can be prone to doing horrible things. We listened to during the work up to this war that Ukrainians are killing civilians in the breakaway provinces. UN investigators and Amnesty international did conclude there were but the truth of the matter was it was they were committed by both sides.
That popular fatality number of 14000 people killed in the region and so frequently laid at the feet of the fascist Ukrainians was actually divided somewhat equally between Ukraine militias or military, separatist rebels, and a slightly smaller civilian population killed in frequent intense urban fighting between them.
Or the bio weapons accusation where the only proof provided was the existence labs and pathogens samples indigenous to the region.
These labs weren’t secret squirrel labs they were registered acknowledged labs that the international community knew existed.
I do not mean this as an attack or harsh rebuttal to you by any means. It’s an explanation of my rational of my opinion.
As far as what likely happened in Bucharest. I came to some certainty last night when the region was opened up to what seems to be quite a lot of reporters.
If these bodies were staged and desecrated by the Ukrainian military it would be a huge risk to stage this in a populated areas and then allow international reporters into the area and hope that not one reporter didn’t find one or more civilians making statements that the bodies were staged by Ukrainians.
Anyway that’s why i don’t put faith in Russian accusations right now.
