You haven't provided a link from CM, but the article in reality is a copy from Euroactive.
https://www.euractiv.com/section/global ... n-ukraine/It puzzles me how on earth you made yourself believe you are getting "enough" truth from westerm media. Even in cases they are forced to say something, they immediately blur it, just like this article saying:
"Artillery fire had hit the town’s outskirts and there had been 10 strikes around a thermal power station, he said on the Telegram messaging app on Wednesday.
Reuters could not independently verify battlefield reports".
And then Reuters again that knows everything from "official sources"
Ukraine accuses Russia of using Iran-made Shahed-136 “kamikaze drones”. Iran denies supplying them and the Kremlin denies using them.
However, two senior Iranian officials and two Iranian diplomats told Reuters that Tehran had promised to provide Russia with more drones and surface-to-surface missiles.
This is typical yellow press...
Kallispera.
Yep, apologies for the verboseness.
I don't really post that much. Compared to some others that is, anyway. When I do I sometimes get carried away.
That doesn't detract from the message of course.
Ohh no! I'm going to do it again.
Not long ago the great man posted that protests had taken part in various western places about the Russian sanctions and effect on the cost of living but that there was a total news black out. You know - "they" had ordered one. Ipso facto, you can't trust anything the western media says or, in that case doesn't. Total bollocks.
I did a quick search and posted a few links (as much as I dislike doing that). The great man then read the links and contemptuously dismissed them, one by one. Missing the point completely. Dahhhhh! His assertion that there was a news black out was - wait for it - Trash. The protests in Paris, for instance, were widely reported in the French press. In Manchester and Liverpool though they really couldn't give a fuck and it wouldn't sell copy compared to Liverpool FC's latest victory - for instance.
Sorry but, you've sort of done the same thing.
Your claim that the shelling by Ukraine of parts of their country which have been invaded and occupied had gone largely unreported in the west is without substance. Yet, like the great man, you don't acknowledge that but just dissect the example I gave. Posted on the basis that it's local (doesn't the CM get
all of it's off island news from other sources?
). Again, you miss the point. I could have posted dozens of links from western media about Donetsk being shelled by the Ukrainians. You're claim it has in some way been blacklisted by "them" is ............................ sorry ..................."trash".................... wince
Yet both yourself and all the others who support Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the killing of thousands, obliteration of huge parts of the country and enforced fleeing by millions (sorry I'm "whining") never once address what the Russian people are getting through their State controlled media sources. Seems a bit hypocritical. Maybe it's me though. Anyway, there you go.
As far as Russia buying and using Iranian drones. Well, you only have to follow the great man's links for the proof. What????? You don't?????
