The facts they choose to print are probably true - which again is part of the alt-right playbook. Cherry pick the facts that helps you muddy the waters enough to instill doubt and create false equivalence in the mind of the reader between there being Nazis in Ukraine and indiscriminate murder of civilians plus turning more than a million people into refugees in less than two weeks. So I'd ask you - do you think that…

I think seeking to know the truth as best we can is the best path to peace.

So that's a no to being opposed to the indiscriminate bombing of civilians then.

Oh, I thought it was the blanket ban on Russian news by the EU.

That's also not censorship. Censorship is when * an individual is told by a government that they may not publish* . A government telling another government that they can't broadcast in the first government's space is something really quite different.

Correct. Elon Musk has said he will ignore EU law and not block Russian internet on StarLink.

He's talking about the Azov battalion. From wikipedia: > Azov Special Operations Detachment is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion Neo-nazis and hard-right nationalists were instrumental in the violent coup of the democratically-elected government in 2014, and have since taken positions in the replacement government. I recommend this…

I can step in, because I have personal experience with Azov. As Jew, I was suspicious about Azov, because of Andrey Biletskiy, which looked like a Russian agent for me, so I took opportunity to visit Azov, when Civil Azov (volunteer organisation) asked for help in the end of 2014, because many Azov members wanted to visit home for Christmas after half of year at front line. I found no Nazi in Azov at all at that time…

Is the article inaccurate? Are there falsehoods?

Those people and their pesky truth! How dare they!?
