We have a lot of people who are either professionals working to control these forums or just stupid people who refuse to learn to thinking skeptically.
We used to ask for sauce with any kind of news post. Now, we have to demand it because mods are constantly promoting screenshots of random text as if it means anything. Sometimes someone will do the legwork and get the sauce, sometimes not.
That often becomes enough of a battle that we don't do the next part which is to evaluate the credibility of that sauce and see if it's tasty and trustworthy or if it's bullshit.
With this one, we've got a Russian news outlet's social media feed. Socials are always weak sources. Russian state media is problematic, but it depends on the quality of the reporting. If I want to get Putin's words on a topic, I can't get them from a Western MSM source. They don't publish it without spin. Western media in this case wouldn't report Zelensky in Poland because they've mythologized him into a folk hero who stays and fights.
Fog of war? I'll wait for confirmation. Maybe he's there for secret talks of some kind. You don't flee to country with a long-standing extradition treaty with the US if you're trying to escape prosecution for crimes that have yet to be revealed. Even if he thought Biden was his ally because of bribes paid historically, it's clear Biden's not rescuing him now and might throw him to the wolves. I don't think he'd take that chance. He strikes me as a man who'd rather go down fighting.
Wait so we now take Russian propaganda as the gospel truth? You people have completely lost it. SMH...
