True. But why are people ignoring the US journalists arrested in Ukraine? Why is it bad when your enemies do the same thing you do to journalists?

@@neilnelson7603 Who exactly?

@@artmcteagle Gonzalo Lira

@@neilnelson7603 Seriously? What other American journalists?

Cathy Young (The Bulwark) said it best; Gonzalo Lira was not a journalistic hero but a grifter and propagandist for a regime that kills and imprisons journalists. Dead, the best way to neutralize his potential martyrdom is full transparency. From her article; Anti-Ukraine Chorus Seeks to Exploit an American’s Death Subtitle; Gonzalo Lira was a pro-Putin propagandist. Even so, the questions about his death require transparency. You try to imply an equivalence between Ukraine and Russia on treatment of Journalists which does not exist, citing one very questionable case and no others.

Nice, but you are going to 'confuse' very few of they type making those comments (none of the propagandists, many of which know they are lying, and which is the largest percentage of such drivel) with facts and logic. If people operated on those principles Russia would be a very different place, especially if you included empathy and concern. Actually, the entire world would be a much better place. Don't hold your breath. But like you, I try to make a difference, so I'm not trying to dissuade you, by any means. As far as Ukrainian govt Nazism, there was a well know Rabbi, not from Russia or Ukraine that addressed that topic, in precisely the manner you would hope to hear. He said that the claim that Ukraine's govt was run by neo-Nazis was patently absurd, at least that was the gist of his statement. It was made on Marjorie Traitor Green's twitter feed, if you want to see it. It was in response to her idiotic post about something to do with the current or previous aid bills being antisemitic. If you want to see antisemitic, just read her posts back through the last few months.

Thanks for that context to better frame the world view narrative we all share. And with respect to this Gonzalez Lira activist person you mention (hopefully with an actual toilet?) and especially during the current, active, ongoing state of genocidal siege invasion... hopefully after the whole war madness is finally quiet, we can all resurface - being more normal again in expressing our various differing human views. Peace

@@MrJdsenior - very wise perspective, regardless of the turbulent state of politics within... Yes, it's very sad that the principles of Goebbels Big Lie propaganda teachings are so true - that exposure to continuous sufficient doses of lies can remove a human mind from making more normal, reasonable, rational inferences of our daily situation.

And he was giving Ukrainian military locations to the russians.

​@@donkoh5738Why such "person" does not exist?

Do you think that is normal? Do you think that is right?

@@natalieturko4808 Of course not. To be clear I'm not from Russia but you don't really have to be from Russia to understand that things are a "bit" different over there

Somebody said she was visiting her sick mother. Life sucks, sometimes. If true that would be a pretty difficult choice for most anyone who thinks like a rational, caring human, I expect. I do agree with the last part of your statement, though. Visit, keep your mouth shut, and leave, or take the consequences of your actually correct and true actions.

She visited her mother because the mother was ill!

@@stevenimme2148 They weren't actually asking a question, they were just ranting....at least I;m guessing that is probably the case.
