    Putin brutally silences dissent in a way even Trump can only dream of.

    Israel has murdered more journalists than Putin could dream of, with full support of Europe.

      And the media report it. That is my point.

      Western governments are (too) slowly changing their stance on Israel and Gaza because western media keep reporting about it.

        Pretty fucked to say that murdering journalists isn’t “brutally silencing dissent” just because other sources report on it, sometime. Do you apply the same standard to Russia?

        Besides, the western media have done everything they can to downplay it without losing credibility entirely.

        Bullshit

          Yeah. Is that something you wanted to deny? Or are you desperately trying to put words in my mouth when I said the exact opposite?

          Then you’re reading the wrong media. I’ve been reading about these atrocities constantly.

          Bullshit

          It’s happening. Dutch government just fell apart over this (and the Dutch government has been pretty awful in their blind support of Israel so far).

          You need to come out of your bubble and inform yourself.

            No, I was just pointing out that it’s fucked up that you denied that Israel and the West killing far more journalists than Russia is “brutally silencing dissent”

            Then you’re reading the wrong media. I’ve been reading about these atrocities constantly.

            Really? What have you been reading that has accurately been describing Israel, and the West’s, planned extermination of the population of Gaza, including the deliberate killing of journalists, and has been doing it consistently over the last two years?

            It’s happening. Dutch government just fell apart over

            Really? So Denmark is a governmentless failed state now?

            You need to come out of your bubble and inform yourself.

            Have you considered that maybe you should come out of your bubble and inform yourself? Do you really think that I, as a westerner, am not exposed to Western Media all the time?
