    I think you should take a break, walk outside for a bit, and hop back with a clearer mind. Your are arguing about… I don’t know what about.

    Fact: Russian newspapers are announcing that an attack by Ukraine on the ZNPP is imminent. It doesn’t matter whether you trust Ukraine’s account of it, because this is literally in the Russian newspapers: https://www.rt.com/russia/579215-ukrainian-attack-nuclear-plant/

    My question is: (what THIS thread is about) from the viewpoint of a Russian propagandist, how can they make this story seem credible, (or, IOW, what would Ukraine’s motive be) considering that this would hurt Ukraine the most.

    Next time you can use less of your condescending tone and more of your reading time to post on point.

        Dude, I’ve been super polite, factual, and thorough with you. The context is, a thread started off a (light/teasing) comment of mine. All replies in it where on topic and on a similar light tone except yours. I showed. I explained. I re-explained to you why what you said (no matter whether I agreed or not) is off track, but you keep charging with partisan arguments.

        By all means, keep going with your crusade, but you are just talking to yourself at this point and demonstrating that you are giving very little consideration to other’s opinions and messages. Your time would be better employed doing something else is what I think.

            Meta: Anyone who claims Lemmy can’t replace Reddit should just read this entire thread. I nearly forgot where I was for a moment there…

            linked to rt.com , Russia’s state propaganda

            You haven’t been factual. You’ve been linking to Ukrainian propaganda sites

            well, I must owe you a lot of respect, and an apology. You absolutely, totally, tricked me into feeding the troll and kept the joke going on and on. You Sir are an absolute master, and a madlad. Well Done!

            Or you really are dumb like a box of rocks. But I want to forget this thread on a positive note.

                You never know when to stop, do you ^^

                The RT link doesn’t support your thesis

                You cannot even say what my thesis is, because you keep shifting goal posts and writing only for yourself.

                My thesis, which I wrote 12 messages up thread, is that it would be silly for Ukraine to strike itself because they have the most to lose, and if the Russian propaganda really is claiming that, good luck shaping up a cover story that makes sense. You keep saying “no, it’s not true, the source is not valid, …”, because you really miss the forest for the tree.

                It is indisputable that Russian Times (RT) reported that Ukraine might soon attack their nuclear power plant: fact. And furthermore, when you read the article, the Russian propaganda makes no effort as to explain what would be Ukraine’s motive in doing that, which brings us back to my thesis (aha): this whole episode is laughably amateurish.
