No one has to buy what Russians are selling.

Ironic. You've been buying it all hook, line and sinker.

why do you consider it posturing?

MSF team witnesses hospital bombing in Mykolaiv

The team reported that the regional pediatric hospital, about 300 meters away, was also hit. No large crater was visible. In the wake of the explosions, they saw numerous small holes in the ground, scattered over a large area. These effects could be consistent with the use of cluster bombs.

"Bombing such a large area within a residential neighborhood in the middle of the afternoon cannot but cause civilian casualties and hit public buildings," said Lacharité. "In the past two days, three hospitals in Mykolaiv have been hit by strikes. In addition to yesterday's strikes, Hospital No. 5, located in the south of the city, was hit on April 3. Hospitals, patients and medical staff must absolutely be spared from attack.”

So, why would Russia do this and prevent humanitarian assistance to people in Mariupol ? The pathetic part is Russia is still pretending to be interested in negotiations.
Scourge of the world Russia is.

I'd like to see/hear any reports out of China regarding president Xi's thoughts about the massacres ( NOUN
massacres (plural noun)
an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people:) perpetrated by Russian forces.

Images of dead civilians 'deeply disturbing,' Chinese officials say

45m ago / 8:01 AM PDT
China's foreign ministry said Wednesday that it is unsettled by the images coming out of the Ukrainian town of Bucha, where reports from the weekend showed dozens of bodies in civilian clothing strewn in the streets.

"The reports and images of civilian deaths in the town of Bucha are deeply disturbing. The truth and origin of the incident must be thoroughly investigated," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told reporters.

But, he added, the circumstances of the scene should be verified and any accusations based on facts.

While the United States and its allies have accused Russia of war crimes over the past weeks, Moscow has pushed back, calling any photos and videos from Bucha a "provocation" by Ukrainian authorities. On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the scene of being "staged."

Pope condemns 'horrendous cruelty' in Bucha

1h ago / 7:29 AM PDT
Pope Francis has condemned the "horrendous cruelty" Russian forces have been accused of carrying out in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha.

“The recent news of the war in Ukraine, rather than bringing relief and hope, attests instead of new atrocities," the pope said Wednesday toward the end of his weekly general audience.

Citing Ukraine's accusations that Russian forces killed and tortured hundreds of people in Bucha, he said the situation was representative of "ever more horrendous cruelty done even against defenseless civilians, women and children."

"They are victims whose innocent blood cries to Heaven and implores: Put an end to this war! Silence the weapons! Stop sowing death and destruction!" he said. In a powerful moment, the pope also held up a Ukrainian flag sent to him from Bucha.

Russian lawmakers push bill to fine anyone equating USSR with Nazi Germany

Russian lawmakers on Wednesday adopted a bill to impose fines on anyone who equates the role the Soviet Union played in World War II to Nazi Germany – a position it claims is necessary to counter "slander" by Baltic nations.

In the third and final reading of a bill first introduced two days before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, fines and prison sentences were attached to a 2021 law that banned language associating actions by the USSR with Adolf Hitler’s Germany.

Russians would disagree. I know, you would say, they are just lying. But at the same time, you would believe the MSM here, which has lied just about anything they scribble, .. anywhere from "Russia collusion", to Hunter Biden's laptop and criminals dealings with the Ukrainian government, just to name the most recent.

Where do you find logic in this?

Of course they would. Because if they don’t, they get arrested and jailed.

Oh ya, you don't watch news

Clearly. The media is using actors to portray dead people in Bucha with their hands bound and bullet holes in the back of their head (special effects) and to portray protestors in Moscow being beaten, arrested and taken away in handcuffs.

All very Hollywood.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

A thread that exemplifies why today's Russian Armed Forces is too stupid to be involved in a war in Ukraine. This shows what happened around Chernobyl. An area where the Ukraine army wasn't even remotely interested in entering into combat with them.

They dug in anyways. And then, lit the surrounding forests on fire.

More fake news ...

Drones, phones and satellite technology are exposing the truth about Russia's war in Ukraine in near real-time

Russia's lies may be catching up with it faster than it ever imagined.

The war in Ukraine is defying President Vladimir Putin's expectations at every turn, not only with Russia's failure to capture Kyiv as planned but with the war crimes his soldiers are alleged to have committed in Bucha, a city close the capital, exposed for the world to see.

Credible Factual Reporting: Mixed - Not always Credible or Reliable
LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information reporting that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Overall, we rate MSNBC Left Biased based on story selection that consistently favors the establishment left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to news hosts and the website producing 3 pants on fire claims.
