Russia Ukraine war

Why don't you just focus on the big picture and fundamentals not in dispute and cannot be subject to bias ?

Why all the vague and nebulous disappearing down rabbit holes, looking for reasons, comments and someone to blame with hints of conspiracies and speculation which you can't support or provided any evidence and are just the result of the Information War and overload you contribute to and often just peripheral issues to the subject of the stream ? It's a waste of time. It's pretty easy to spot...the bias that is, largely often revealed by its source and track record and reputation. And there's a mountain of it on this platform like most. The really obvious take about a nanosecond to spot and its regular propagators here stick out like the proverbial in a desert.

The issue itself is pretty simple really-Putin illegally brutally invaded and occupies a sovereign state, wasn't threatened or provoked by anyone, has breached various international undertakings, agreements and commitments his Federation made to the international community with most, if not all, his since and continuing justification already shown to be lies, just plain false or unsubstantiated. What is it now ? 8 million displaced ?
How many innocent people effectively murdered ? I could go on and on.

What else do you need to know or understand from that foundation ? Of course there's propaganda and one the greatest and most famous exponents of it with an envious track record just happens to be......wait for it....drum roll.......the Kremlin...what a revelation that is.

And you're continually waffling on about all sorts of tangents resulting from it looking for someone else to blame over Putin's illegal invasion ? The picture I've taken from what I've seen you saying is that you are fundamentally pro Putin and justify his invasion on this issue ? Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Info war cannot win the physical war, we can agree on this? So what is the purpose of the info war? To manufacture consensus so that whatever nefarious govt actions can have domestic or international support?

You can learn the precedence from the US right from the WMD Iraq invasion and the all the revelations detailed by Julian Assange and the million demonstrations in major Western capital cities. It didn't change the decision of US no impinge it from further destruction of regime changes in Libya and almost Syria. These are not 100% full proof facts but hidden in along the warm fuzzies. Nor was the hypocrisy of ISIS usage in Syria for the purpose in parallel to Nazis in Ukraine. You will understand that the lesson is that Super powers will do what is in their interest and will find ways to justify their action.

You and the rest of the moral mugs can take this moral high ground but it doesn't change things. The sheer absence of any encouragement to broker for peace does signal that US indeed wants to "fight" this war using just $/weapons at the expense of Ukie lives and also manufacture moral high ground consensus. I have no issue with their decision but for once in their multiple war experiences, they have not met directly a foe that possess even more nuclear weapons so I don't want to wake up to an incident that has cross Kremlin's ultimate red line of nuclear weapons contemplation. The bluff calling has to stopped because Putin as demonstrated doesn't bluff.

Leave the comic book morality behind when you observe and I don't mean to be patronising. This isn't about right or wrong but strategic advantage. The former is for the usual rainbow mugs who is part of the woke crew.
