I can't find any source on that tweet

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The source is linked in the thread. Here's the video that aired on the news https://twitter.com/Egitaniense/status/1512813737580941315

This is the video of the serial number. Which source link this number to Ukrainian army?

Which aren't source. Tweets, posts, telegrams, etc. claiming something aren't sources

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

What you presumably mean by sources is western mainstream news, and then when western mainstream doesn't report on it any other sources have to be discarded. Seems rather convenient.

The fact is that Russia decommissioned tochka-u in 2019, but Ukrainian military still has them in use. Ukraine originally claimed it was an iskander missile, which Russia uses. They have since admitted that it is in fact a tochka-u.

These tweets include pictures, documents, links to other sources, etc. How can a tweet not be a source when it contains first hand evidence? It has to be posted somewhere...

Obviously the twitter poster is an expert on tracing back missiles

Didn't you read their bio?

Imagine the embarrassment you could've saved yourself if you only bothered to read through the thread before commenting. Multiple sources are linked there. Here's an actual video that aired on the news:

The source we search is the one who linked the serial number to Ukrainian army, not the video of the serial number itself

[–] ree@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That site is exhausting. For one piece of good information we need to navigate blatant misinformation.

[–] gun@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Such is life. And research in general.

[–] ree@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

where's your proof?

https://voxnews.info/2022/04/09/kramatorsk-missile-che-ha-fatto-strage-e-ucraino-la-prova-inconfutabile-foto/ its something, but IDK, photos are too vague. Still wouldn't be surprised at all if it was those nazi scum.

Voxnews is a known fake news publisher

yep, have you seen their north korea stuff? just leave them alone

[–] garret@lemmy.ml -2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I can confirm that website is known to spread misinformation. I have seen the OP defending Russian propaganda in other posts. I don't know what is his/her aim but i just hope that some action will be taken. My only worry is if he/she is really a pro Putin fanatic instead of just a troll. That would make me even more sad for such person.

[–] FruitFactory@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Just use "they"

bruh you know your side has so much fucking propaganda that Goebbels would have an orgasm

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've stated on many occasions that I don't think the invasion was in any way justifiable, and I'm certainly no fan of Putin. That said, it's pretty clear to me that there is a ton of misinformation about the war in western media. Dismissing things you don't like as Russian propaganda makes you yourself a propagandist who is unwilling to engage in honest discourse about the situation. I just hope some action will be taken against such people.

I just hope some action will be taken against such people.

So, basically, people like you.

I'm not the one calling anything that doesn't fit my preconceptions western propaganda.

Go the fuck back to reddit with this bullshit
