Disinformation accounts on the Ukraine/Russia war...

 Been reading the comments on the blog and every time I post something from the "Russian" side its labeled as disinformation by my readers.

I am good with that.

What has me spinning is that the same isn't applied to Ukrainian accounts.  I get that some if not most of what I'm getting from Russian sources MIGHT be disinformation but to not apply the same standard to the Ukrainian side is a mistake in my opinion.

My goal is to get a full view of the Ukrainian/Russian war.

You won't get that if you're just reading the Ukrainian side.  So why don't I post the Ukrainian side?  Because everyone here is inundated with that info.  Whether you want it or not, if you're anywhere near military Twitter you get that info.

Its usually cheerleading too which annoys me to no end.  Its quite obvious that the offensive hasn't gone well.  Every alarm bell possible is ringing in Western capitols and in NATO headquarters but we're still hit with rosy projections.

I understand why that is and so do you.  They want to keep morale up in the Western nations and they want continued support of the war.  The fact that they're dressing it up as a fight for democracy helps too, as well as painting Zelensky as a saint and Putin as an omega villain from our most tortured dreams.

I guess the point is that open source ain't pretty.

You gather all possible information, do an analysis of that info (that's why the CIA, DIA, NSA and every other intel outfit has tons of analysts....they 're looking for many opinions from the same data and then suss out which is correct) and arrive at the best conclusion possible.

We don't have armies of analysts so its up to each individual to get the job done.

That's on you.  I give my opinion and try to call balls and strikes.  When I do have a solid idea I give it.  If I don't know I try and make that clear too.

Warfare ain't what you want it to be and ignoring info that isn't favorable to your desire outcome only gives you a momentary reprieve from the truth.

Truth is truth and it eventually wins out despite human attempts at manipulation.
