Thank you for the closer look. None of this surprising or news to me.

And kudos for compiling a very good short list of sources.

But also, none of this discounts or negates the fact that TPV is a clickbait / disinfo operation or that the third source in your original comment has all the trappings of a clickbait farm.

FYI, my comments are not disputing the factual things we know about Ukraine. I'm pointing out that on the basis of the factual information we have, anyone can make up virtually anything to tap into that river of information and exploit it for their own purposes. When no sources or credible data and evidence are provided at all, the information should always be viewed with suspicion, imo.

I know the TPV operation quite well, better than your average anon (having spent a lot of time researching, investigating, and analyzing them). Their reports should be rejected out of hand unless one is willing to do a deep analysis to find out what actual factual background they are seeking to exploit. (And it should be clearly understood that their objective is to exploit and that actual truth is not a priority for them!)

The list you provide above, however, is high quality and nothing like TPV stuff.

In the midst of the great awakening and the cessation of the Q drop part of the operation, its is far too easy for malicious and unscrupulous actors out there to exploit our confirmation bias. We counter that by being scrupulous in how we approach and deal with information and their sources.
