India at the UN condemned “war crimes in Bucha,” which they stopped short of accusing their strategic partner of, but obviously it wasn’t Ukrainian armed forces walking through Bucha executing civilians, right?
Seems odd to lament the lack of truly free media in the west and then believe even half a word out of Russia’s mouth.
Also FYI, “intelligence community” does not refer to retired government people on the media circuit. It refers to the actual intelligence agencies themselves.
- unity1001 4y agoSimilar news were made, and similar condemnations were issued at the UN for a lot of other 'war crimes' that turned out to be nonexistent. > then believe even half a word out of Russia’s mouth. That's your own personal bias - 'either/or'. There are many other sources than 'Russia'. The world is not bipolar like in Anglosphere. > Also FYI, “intelligence community” does not refer to retired government people on the media circuit No. 'The intelligence community' as a term is used to include the retired personas now working in think tanks, in order to give them authority. Those people's papers from think tanks cant be referenced or cited as belonging to actual intelligence agencies after they retired. But if you say 'intelligence community', you can cite them all you want...
- ethanbond 4y agoBut you just said there was no reporting on it in non-Western outlets. Turns out there is? I never said it's either/or. Not sure where you're getting that impression. No, IC refers to the actual agencies themselves. You're misinterpreting and then getting upset about your misinterpretation.
