Dont put words in my mouth. I didn't claim any of these things.
So what were you trying to say when you said “… videos like this should be taken with a grain of salt. There is propaganda on both sides.”?
I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but you’re very obviously trying to imply something there, so just say it.
For the record I made it very clear that I was asking you what you were implying, I doubt any rational person would read anything in my previous comment as putting words in your mouth.
@nebulaone @borari No one put words in your mouth. Just asked simple questions.
There is a reason this was recorded and posted online. I don't think it is fake. But I also don't believe that every POW recieves the same treatment.
@nebulaone Why not?
@nebulaone You have evidence otherwise?
This will be my last reply. I can believe whatever I want. And as I said I want Ukraine to win. I am not some russian troll if that's what you're getting at.
@nebulaone I am not getting at anything. I do not dispute your right to believe what you want, just interested if you had anything to support the idea that ruzzians were being mistreated by Ukraine. I have not seen anything to support that.
In a war you rarely have independent proof, that's the point. So there is nothing wrong with being a bit cautious and sceptical when hearing news and I feel you are being a bit harsh.
And for sure propaganda exists on both sides, I guess no one is seriously disputing this. At the same time I have no doubts that being a PoW is 1000 times better than being in a Russian trench. But still I can acknowledge that reports like this are not some kind of independent journalism.
