1/3 of the population of Ukraine is Russian. It makes no militaristic sense for Russia to indiscriminately fire on civilians. Civilians who may be friends/family/supportive. The easiest way to see through the fog of war is to watch the actions of the forces involved.

So again... who is laying waste to these cities we see in the media?
Military follow the orders of their superiors... so IF they say "aim and fire here" they do it regardless of the target
Russian Forces don't bomb cities... well who the hell is doing it?
Is it all fake? I happen to know quite a few people from the area... believe me... its happening

But if you take into account the actions of the forces on the ground it sounds more plausible than what the Ukraine side is saying. They are after all the side that has produced the most blatantly obvious propaganda since this conflict started.

Not really...it appears as if you are one of those types who is ignoring the events from 2013 up until current. Is russia invading sure...but its sure not because "putin evil" or even the whole crap about him wanting to "restore the USSR". He invaded because the west was doing corrupt sgit on their doorstep including weapons development in labs as well as puppeting the country. We wouldn't stand by if anyone was doing that to your neighbors on the border...why would they?
The propaganda is needed to gather support for the west to continue puppeting and taking advantage of the corruption in Ukraine. If they let us see it for what it is no one would be behind us supporting this crap.

A more apt comparison would be if russia spent 5 billion to have a coup in mexico then installed the new government and also a bunch of secret programs and labs. Had their politicians and kids taking part in fiscal corruption and also mexico had a bunch of nazis allowed to not only be in the government but to attack citizens they had a beef with.
