I closed the tab for casualty stats and don't feel like digging that back up, but here's An article on white phosphorous in Bakhmut. I specifically remember watching videos of it falling from the sky when it hapoened., although this article may or may not be on a different incident, been too long to be 100% sure.

    "Russia accused."

    "Attack targeted unoccupied areas of Bakhmut"

    "close to a children's hospital" (heartstrings, despite the article saying the area was unoccupied?)

    "could not verify the use of phosphorus" (so what is this article about??)

    "Use as an incendiary weapon near civilians would still be illegal... practically no civilians left in the area"

    So in summary... it would've been illegal and a war crime if civilians were there, which they weren't, and if it could be verified, which it wasn't.

    What a shite article. Western media is really the best at saying nothing at all. Though I'm sure it had the intended effect on people in Europe scared of Russia.

    Just trying to show you how the West does propaganda, that's all. It's basic media literacy. It may be small, but compound it and repeat it and you get powerful feelings of the war such as yours.

    They aren't my allies. I am no friend to Putin. He could die a hundred times over and I could not give a shit. What I do give a shit about is the constant imperialist machinations of the west who see outsiders as "orcs" or lesser human beings who don't deserve to live in peace because the people who lord it over you and me can't stand the idea that there are places in the world that don't obey them - however problematic those places may be (usually because of the very neoliberal imperialism I'm talking about...)
