Comments
The truth matters - and your comment is deeply appreciated. We're always pained on TikTok when we see comments like, "you only report the good news," or, "why don't you ever cover when Ukraine does something bad." Yes, we want Ukraine to win the war because we believe the current situation is the greatest threat to European stability since the Cold War. Additionally, prior to many people discovering us, we assessed World War III started in 2012 and is being fought non-kinetically. Russia is winning in the irregular warfare space, and it isn't even close. But we consistently call out Ukrainian failures, investigate accusations and evidence of war crimes, and report on them when they happen. We have investigated videos and accusations with the same rigor as when Russia is accused and with the same critical eye. We're also not afraid to say, "we don't know," and stay in our lanes. The truth matters - and part of the truth is - the Russian Ministry of Defense is, how do I say this charitably... Lacks self-awareness, is unwilling to adapt, alienates its coworkers, and is in need of performance improvement. We recommend a Performance Improve Program with a 90-day probationary period.
This makes all of us happy!
It's because in this time of misinformation people like me are valuing your accurate information more than ever! Keep it up!!
