      So I’ve just gone and done some reading based on this comment to try to understand how it is a rebuttal to anything I’ve said, and although there were some details I wasn’t aware of, I’m still not seeing it. You can reply now to re-emphasize my stupidity whenever you are ready.

        I was simply making a joke about the idea that the Russian perspective should be thrown out and we should only listen to Western-Aligned sources because the latter were insisting in the wake of the blast that Russia blew up its own pipeline while Russia said that they obviously weren’t.

        A better example might have been the prison full of Azovites that got rocketed, but I was going for something that I was sure anyone who gave a shit about Ukraine/Russia, even from a superficial culture war perspective, would be familiar with.

          My expectation was that it was evidence of a disagreement with my comments sourced with something other than a swipe at my general intellect or capability, but I see my standards were too high. I never made a statement that the Russian perspective should never be listened to, my statements were very specific to this event.
