11. Guilt by association. Trying to invalidate some uncomfortable truth

by identifying it with a source that's considered extreme is a disinformation tactic.

Actually, I'm not sure what the "this" is that you're referring to.

For my part, I've been fortunate to have a significant amount of free time available here of late, and I've been able to follow these blogs in depth.

I've watched as this person who calls himself "The Saker" has created a blog that is now available in Russian, French, English and German, thanks to many people who are doing translations on a daily basis. A group of Russian speakers are translating into English, and just a couple of days ago he put out a call for native English speakers to proofread the Russian translations to make them flow more smoothly.

Possibly this doesn't interest you, but that's ok. I think others who are reading this thread should know it. I consider it a significant accomplishment in furthering an understanding of what's going on in Ukraine.

As far as the BOG, I can't help but feel that you're being deliberately obtuse. My point, as I clearly stated it, was that those who post in that group do not have to keep defending their positions and I don't see why those who post in the Progressive Media Group can't avail themselves likewise.
