Take note all, Jonesy has decided what we need to do.

Look - at the risk of being called names again, the whole reason people create disinformation is so that it is spread by others and influences people into thinking in a certain way.

If people instead educate themselves about issues - which takes time and effort - so they can realise what is and what is not true, we end up with better outcomes. We are not lied to so openly, our governments are less likely to take decisions that ruin (and end) people’s lives, people start to trust others again.

You just cannot help yourself can you.

You made yourself look foolish, it happens, accept it, hold your hands up and move on.

Yes, warning about disinformation on Twitter is wrong.

As far as I am aware, no one has appointed you editor of GOT nor asked for your advice. That you feel that you are qualified to be telling the good folk here what they can and can't post is quite something. Seeing you flounce around and lets be honest, often spouting ill informed positions under the delusion that you are some sort of oracle is classic Owen Jones type behaviour, as is your inability to accept mistakes.

Keep it up though, its midly amusing.

You know you are posting on a discussion forum, right? Everyone here is entitled to post their opinions on everything provided the rules are followed.

You post up a lot of tweets from dodgy people, probably without realising it. I think you should check who those people are before doing things that help those people.

Now you have understood this maybe stop trying to control what people post. It's vey weird behaviour.

You pulled up a post from a Ukrainian who had info about the Russian planes shot. Was he wrong? Did I look elsewhere also?

Stop pushing your incorrect assumptions on us Jonesy.

Igor Sushko portrays himself as the head of a think tank in Washington DC. The think tanks website literally only has one button on it, which welcomes donations.

Much of what he’s posted about the war has proved to be mostly or partially wrong (as was that tweet btw) and in the case of those FSB letters may have been made up entirely, for clicks and money. That’s why I said more authoritative people than him were reporting that incident.

He gives the strong impression of being a grifter, as is Mario Nawfal FWIW.

Lavrov’s annual press conference today was mainly notable for an attempt to claim that Russia isn’t part of the Western tradition, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
