Your first two paragraphs look like observation, which I agree with, but the second part is just belief what mainstream have reported to you, after RT etc was removed, so we would not hear the "Other side", unless we were watching the removed media, or even searched it out, to hear the other side of the story.

I was a fan of RT, for the technical crypto commentary we got on there, but never saw much of in Western media, hence why I watched RT for years up until it was removed from UK freeview, a day or two after the special op started. I also watched Al Jazeera before it was removed also. We have been cut off from all media from outside the UK. This is not freedom of information, far from it, we are effectively in a cult, or social bubble, becoming progressively removed from reality, and we should know where that ends up, if nothing is done about it. It isn't even humans in control of this, we work systemically as a beast, with no one really in control, nobody willing to take responsibility.

Those of us who watched RT saw blow by blow, the trials and tribulations of the folk persecuted in Ukraine, at the hands of the Ukrainian government, throughout the years, since the Maidan. These were innocent folk variously disappeared, tortured, killed, just because they insisted on keeping their Russian heritage. Thousands of people were lost like this.

Russia put up with it for eight years. All the time they complained about it to Ukrainian and EU authorities, but nobody followed up, on what were probably empty promises.

How long do you think the US would have put up with this in Mexico, or the UK in Northern Ireland?
