Truth is the first casualty of war

Professor Marandi (Tehran) to Piers Morgan: 

Piers, allow me to offer some advice. I'm not going to debate who is right or wrong – Russia or Ukraine – right now. That's not the point. I simply want to say that your media outlets have been misleading the public for two years, constantly claiming that Ukraine is winning. And then suddenly, it turns out that it is on the verge of collapse. Imposing false narratives ultimately becomes a disaster for yourselves – for the people of England, Europe, and America. Your endless wars, which are based on these false narratives and disinformation, create massive waves of refugees that are overwhelming your own countries. And all of this is happening because of your own actions.



John Mearsheimer: 

The Russians went to enormous lengths to try to negotiate with the West to avoid a war. The Russians were not interested in war. This is perfectly clear if you look at the historical record for those three months before the war started. Nevertheless, the West had zero interest in negotiating with the Russians to make sure that a war did not break out over Ukraine. Just look at the historical record. You'll find hardly any evidence that the West, which believed the Russians might attack, many people in the West thought there was a good chance that the Russians would attack, did virtually nothing to prevent a war. Here, I'm talking mainly about the United States.



Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray, Aug 15, 2025: 

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%. Zero point three per cent. The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%. Thirty seven point seven per cent. In a single statistic, there you have the difference between a war and a genocide.
