    You know someone has nothing when they’re resorting to “are you saying that [obviously false statement that doesn’t actually resemble what they said]?”

    the reports on Russian atrocities, even against their own soldiers, are overwhelming. They’re also coming from Russian sources.

    You say, having only been able to provide sources from the Ukrainian government.

      U see you defend imperialists and deny reports of their atrocities. You may call that “nothing”, but I don’t.

      But sure, let’s get some nore sources:

      https://www.foxnews.com/world/russian-war-hero-the-executioner-allegedly-ordered-troops-shoot-him-massive-payout-scheme-report (note: originally reported by a Russian source)

      https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russian-troops-raped-tortured-children-ukraine-un-panel-says-rcna49168 (UN reporting on Russian atrocities)

      https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4297872-shooting-their-own-soldiers-one-more-russian-act-of-barbarity-in-ukraine/ (US and many other sources)

      https://metro.co.uk/2023/06/13/russian-troops-filmed-executing-comrades-trying-to-flee-frontline-18943873/ (Ukrainian drone, but it’s caught on video. Want to argue that didn’t happen?)

      https://guardian.pressreader.com/article/281908777399398

      Here’s Wikipedia on barrier troops: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_troops

      Obviously you’re unlikely to see Russian media reporting on how they shoot their own soldiers as a matter of policy, and obviously the only parties close to the front lines as Russian and Ukrainian, but there is a variety of sources reporting on this, and Russia has a known history of using barrier troops.

      But if you believe only Russian state media is telling the truth, then no amount of facts will convince you.

        Once again: Not believing every single piece of anti Russian propaganda, no matter how silly it is, is not the same as being pro-Russian.

        This article literally does not contain your claim! You are just LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH now.

        I’m not going to address the rest of them if you’re just deliberately posting unrelated articles and lying about their contents, because at that point it’s clear you’re just being dishonest and trying to waste time!

          Lying? Because a Russian source talks about Russian soldiers shooting Russian soldiers in a different context than barrier troops? You’re just cherry picking so you don’t have to address the facts.

          Do you seriously want to argue that atrocities don’t exist unless the party committing them admits they exist? You live in a very pleasant world.

            Yes, lying. You claimed that Russia was shooting it’s own soldiers, and now you’re trying to pass off an article about Russian soldiers deliberately injuring themselves to defraud the Russian government out of benefits as a source for that claim. THAT IS LYING.

              Ah, you see your precious government defrauded. That’s what’s upsetting you. I’m pointing out the brutality of the Russian war machine, I’m pointing to a lot of different sources about various kinds of violence, but it’s the fraud that gets you.

              You haven’t even addressed any of the other links I shared, because you’re not here to learn, but to spread propaganda.

                  Learn what? Most people here just repeat shallow dogma. Brainless zingers like that, no actual info. Nothing new at least. Bully people into accepting the propaganda. That’s not how people learn.

                  I have learned quite a bit here, though.
