Russia's Investigative Committee said on Sunday it had launched a criminal probe into the killing of a Russian war reporter, an incident the country's defence ministry previously blamed on Ukraine's use of cluster munitions.

    Lol, Russian “journalist.” Must be the same ones not reporting on the war crimes Russians are committing.

    Rot in hell, shitbag.

    When you send a propagandist to the front line with a gun, it’s a valid target. This coming from a country that targets childrens’ playgrounds, hospitals, residential homes, and grain exports.

      Thankfully the Geneva Convention doesn’t agree with your faulty logic. Your personal value judgements on the quality of journalism being produced has absolutely zero bearing on whether killing a journalist is acceptable.

      A good write-up here.

      Just to check if you’re applying your “logic” evenly or just cherry-picking where and how you apply it: should targeting of Russian medics be allowed, since they’re only saving the lives of Russian soldiers? If not, how is targeting a journalist (for Russia) different than targeting a medic (for Russia)?

      And remember: the Geneva Convention disagrees with you. Maybe that should be motivation to check if what you’re saying is actually reasonable or not.

          Why did I expect anything different?

          Instead of reading the points made and perhaps agreeing or disagreeing, you get to shortcut the whole thing by just saying “I didn’t read it, and yet I disagree!”. Why even pretend to participate?

          You’ll notice I actually wrote a comment and made points of my own, and linked to a secondary comment going into more detail. You didn’t bother to address either. Must be nice to be proud of being ignorant.

          “When the facts are against me, shut the whole thing down with namecalling and dismissiveness!”. Again, I guess I really shouldn’t expect any different. Only one side is even trying to have a conversation; the other is just playing a game of yelling loudly with no substance and shutting down anyone with contrary views.

          You’re a blight on society.

              I don’t have to read into it because it is bs anyway.

              “Thankfully, I’m prescient, so I know something is bs without having read it.”

              In case there was any doubt that you weren’t actually willing to have a reasonable discussion, you cleared it up.

                Stop bullshitting. I’m not going to provide links to some neonazi sources about immigration and expect you to read that either. You’re a tankie and rashist and that’s pretty evident by your various comments on those topics. That makes you an extremist and clearly irrelevant to be taken into consideration in such discussions.

    Well, he didn’t fall out of a window - so I guess his death is something out of the ordinary.
