Victoria Nuland versus Douglas Macgregor.

She says 10,000 Russians have died in the counter-offensive. Douglas Macgregor says only hundreds of Russians have died in the offensive compared to 20,000 or more Ukrainians. I wonder what the truth is.

I certainly do not trust her. I think her wholly malign. I don't see the evidence for what be says. He mentions that it comes from newspapers and records of funerals but he does not give us a link to the information online.

  1. You don't tust the mainstream media, but put up posts from BitShute. Hardly a reputable source of news, let alone fact. More of a home to QAnon and anti vax election deniers.
    .."In this paper, we characterize the content and discourse on BitChute, a social video-hosting platform. Launched in 2017 as an alternative to YouTube, BitChute joins an ecosystem of alternative, low content moderation platforms, including Gab, Voat, Minds, and 4chan. Uniquely, BitChute is the first of these alternative platforms to focus on video content and is growing in popularity. Our analysis reveals several key characteristics of the platform. We find that only a handful of channels receive any engagement, and almost all of those channels contain conspiracies or hate speech. This high rate of hate speech on the platform as a whole, much of which is anti-Semitic, is particularly concerning. Our results suggest that BitChute has a higher rate of hate speech than Gab but less than 4chan. Lastly, we find that while some BitChute content producers have been banned from other platforms, many maintain profiles on mainstream social media platforms, particularly YouTube. This paper contributes a first look at the content and discourse on BitChute and provides a building block for future research on low content moderation platforms." From a Harvard University study.

    1. Douglas Macgregor is the point. I found this talk on Google. How stupid is this habit of guilt by association.

    3. I am not sure.

      He is often right but I am not qualified to say always.

      He expected a victory for Russia within 2 weeks but so did everybody.

    5. "You don't trust the mainstream media". But Victoria Nuland is the US Government not the media and I didn't say she was wrong and I said I saw no evidence to believe Douglas Macgregor. You are not attentive.
