Ah yes pointing to the completely organic resistance movements that cropped up simultaneously with Russian equipment and Russian soldiers contributing. But of course the US psyop'd 80% of the entire country to be in favor of EU membership. And the strong definitely not russian backed leader said no, I will carry on the true will of the Ukrainian people, which is to be subservient to Russia. And the people unjustly protested and got righteously shot for it. And then the totally not russian tanks rolled in.
I’m curious as to what you think a reputable source is. One that agrees with you? I’m sure there are plenty of YouTube videos that do, are they disreputable and untrustworthy, simply because of the platform?
a reputable source is one that provides the source of their information.
youtube content creators get their information from other Youtube content. It's like a human centipede of misinformation.
in rare occasions youtube can be reputable if it's content of the event as it happened, like when George Floyd was murdered and body cam footage was leaked online.
however, with better AI that can create archival footage like that, it's harder to trust just any video.
point is, sources matter when you want to prove your dissertation.
