I would say they intentionally misinterprete information to make a story, yes. And far from "the first time". Bilds reputation didn't manifest out of thin air you know. Not even the partner-paper "Die Welt" calls it news, but instead also just goes by "according to BamS". Not to mention, i'm kinda not entirely sure that the NSA is stupid enough to give us the information about blackwater. According to Bild, we didn't "find out" but "got told". Could you come up with a reason why the US would tell us that their mercenaries are involved? If so, i might change my mind. If not, i stick to occams razor. | ||

Here's an equivalent Daily Mail article on them: Click to read more trash. Summary: there's a Russian youtube video of armed men, with people shouting Blackwater. But not a single reputable newspaper or independent journalist in Ukraine has reported seeing them. *** Regarding Mariupol's chief of police being found dead earlier: | ||

Russian media will just draw a picture of a long line of people and manipulate its viewers into thinking that the turnout was really high. | ||

That's what it looks like to me, i just wasn't sure if "peoples court" is an actual thing or just made up, basically. I wonder how one would get rid of these people. The voting is bullshit, we all know it and only retards would argue otherwise after everything we've seen (not just hearsay). But in the end, it actually could lead to war in my mind, and that's the saddest part. | ||

And yes it could end up being not pretty but as has been said a lot this isn't a peoples revolt from discontent like Madian was. | ||

I would not want to be on their police force then. | ||

I know its not a popular opinion but yes sometimes your only option is to let someone do whatever they want (not an option really) or sending in the army and shooting them. | ||

 And that also, most likely, would end up in war. That's what i'm on about. You obviously can't let happen what's happening right now (no country could or would) - but there's still that little thing of 40k russian soldiers on your border, ready to "prevent russian genocide". | ||
