on a related note, duckduckgo clearly on that #censorship because :

I even put CGTN in the query and nope. Only western media outlets. So laughable since I started using duckduckgo to avoid google’s tracking, but even google will relent and provide me a link to CGTN

    Well I don’t want to call it the start of the war which is why I put it like that.

    The fact is the war was started by the US Nazi Ukrainian proxies in 2014 and involved Ukrainian citizens fighting one another for 8 years. Russia simply got involved in an existing war that was on the verge of escalating.

    I refuse to accept or propagate the western propaganda framing of Russia as the aggressor which is why I put it that way. They didn’t start the war, they got involved in one being waged against them instead of turning the other cheek. But that’s not a succinct way of putting it.
