From The Guardian, “Soldiers fighting for Ukraine appear to shoot a Russian prisoner of war outside a village west of Kyiv in a video posted online.” I first heard this story on CNN during two different shows — one led with the report — but I found it in print in several places. No matter the source, I say f*** the MSM. So, what? Is this the MSM trying to be “fair and balanced” and “both sides” good versus evil? WTF! I don’t give one m*****f***ing G.D. f*** about Ukrainian soldiers killing Russian prisoners of war. This is not news in any sense at all. The MSM needs to just shut the f*** up and pick the right side. Hint: Russia is the enemy, and Ukraine is the ally. (I should note that I have not heard this reporting story on MSNBC, nor would I expect to because this story is not newsworthy!)
Is the MSM on the side of democracies or autocracies? Because when they start dedicating air time and print space to point out what Ukrainian soldiers are doing to Russian captives, then they are disparaging Ukraine and promoting Russia. And I will be the first to admit that I’m openly being hypocritical. I will admit to (rightly) accusing Russia and Putin of war crimes while looking the other way regarding Ukraine’s behavior. So, what?!?! I don’t care because to do so is a false equivalency. There is a difference between war crimes used as a military strategy and the misbehavior of a rogue Ukrainian soldier. These two scenarios are not even close; they are not in the same universe. I’m sorry, but when someone kicks you in the teeth for no reason, then you have the right to blow their brains out. No questions asked! Of course, none of this should be new to readers, for I have written before that Ukraine should not be taking prisoners of war — at all, ever! Every Russian they let go is just one more enemy who will come back to kill Ukrainian civilians, and every Russian captive they keep alive drains Ukrainian resources. Slava Ukraini!
