Similar thing happened across the border, in Ukraine, with a pacifist being accused of "justifying the war", as reported by Democracy Now!

Whataboutism and false equivalency. Nice.

Thought terminating cliches. Nice.

I don't doubt this as it's happened to others, but Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is a literal CIA mouthpeice and tends to make stuff up.

Compared to Russian sources radio free liberty is a baron of truth and press accountability, so frankly it does not matter.

A shitty source not being the absolute worst source doesn't make it any less shitty than it is. If your only options for news are US government propaganda or Russian government propaganda, the only valid choice is to stop following the news.
