It all started when Skin said Russians were on their best behaviour and all reports of rapes were fake. Professionals investigated and determined no rapes were happening because Putin did not want any bad press. Message 33908207 -edit- I see you recommended Skin's original post... Are you another rape denying Putin apologist...?

I see you recommended Skin's original post... Are you another rape denying Putin apologist...? Last night I did what I should have done earlier - searched TWTR for the words “Ukraine rapes” — and everything became clear. The search brought up an ocean of recent rape tweets - many containing the same articles we had the displeasure of seeing posted here, on our favorite thread. Many included the same sources, names - and the same quotes. Many of the posters, apparently, weren’t even human. If Musk suspected that a high percent of TWTR accounts were bots - the “Ukraine rapes” subject attracted probably double that number. There is just another campaign going on. The point is - if it weren’t effective, they wouldn’t be doing it. Millions of people who ought to know better get victimized by the propaganda - if it’s massive enough. Where there rapes? There are always rapes, especially in an atmosphere of violence. The real questions are - do they get investigated? Are the perps punished? Or, as the latest propaganda asserts, they’re encouraged as part of a policy? But -- it’s totally pointless to argue about any of it. Just more clutter. So, thanks for the support - and apologies to the thread.
