The reason I would not trust Russia to be a neutral observer.
Emphasis mine. You have no way of knowing that.
You implied it...I responded with a fact (Sunnyside is not albanian). You then claimed I put words in your mouth.
I never put words in your mouth. I simply pointed out that Sunnyside isn't Albanian as far as I know. Which is true. Stating a fact is not putting words in your mouth.
I did not defend him. I stated a fact.
From what I have seen, he can defend himself quite nicely.
To clear up any possible confusion. It seems to be a variable with you.
If you want to convince me of your position you do.
If you don't want to convince me of your position, then I'm not sure what the point of your response is in the first place.
You asked why I did not acknowledge that they "lied", and I gave you an answer.
I don't accept your premise, and it isn't up to me to find evidence to support your own claims. If
you are making the claim,
you are expected to provide the evidence. Your accusations are not correct by default.
I am not taking your word for it that they lied.
Then your effort was pointless. I already knew that. You have told me nothing new.
I trust them more than I trust you. They have to answer to the media and to their superiors. You dont. They are under public scrutiny. You are not.
See above. I dont assume they are by default. Whether they are accurate or not is irrelevant if all alternative sources are less accurate than they are.
Nonsequitur.
Collateral damage is not deliberate.
Why?
Which is fine. But killing someone by accident is not the same thing as shooting them deliberately.
Request denied.
Semantics are relevant to this discussion. If the words both mean the same thing to you, why use the word "lie" at all? Why not just say "mistake"?
I disagree. The level is irrelevant. A lie requires intent.
I have no idea. I don't know the details surrounding each individual that made the decisions.
In order to stop their oppression of another people? Yes, it is ok to do that.
