A brilliant example of the Arab “finesse”.
I have been always admiring the depth of Arab thinking (what makes arabic literature absolutely magnificent), particular way of communication and natural wisdom, “wisdom of the desert”.
Out of topic: I remembered a story told by one of my elder colleagues, in his late 70s. Once he and his colleague, a documentary filmmaker, were moving from point A to point B across the Sahara desert. They had to reach point B by a certain time.
They were late, and his companion kept glancing nervously at his watch. Their guide was a Berber nomad, as calm as the desert itself. He had been silently watching the nervousness of a man looking at his watch for a while. Then he asked:

That’s an absolute fake since:
1. There’re spelling/style/punctuation mistakes
2. Buglakov cannot fulfil the duties of Shoigu, because there are two first deputies for this—Tsalikov and Gerasimov.
3.Everything related to a special military operation goes under a special marking
Those who tried to falsify the document have to learn the style of the Russian language, punctuation and guidelines for the design of official documents, especially mandatory indents! And that’s not the first fake “leaked” document.
Ok 😄

Legendary professor John J. Mearsheimer.

The voice of wisdom was ignored. Or the real political goals are far from what is declared.

"The West is leading Ukraine down the primrose path and the end result is that Ukraine is going to get wrecked"
On Feb. 15, John J. Mearsheimer gave an interview to the King’s College students’ YouTube channel on the Ukrainian crisis.
Bitly, a URL shortener, marked the video “as potentially harmful”.

The world in which brilliant and professional political analysis is considered harmful is doomed.

Refreshing memory:
Ukr politician Tymoshenko urged "to take up arms and go to kill these damn katsaps together w/ their leader". She vowed that she was intended to make every effort so that "not even a scorched earth is left of Russia!" (That was in 2014).
She called to nuke Russia and the Russians as well.
Irina Farion, who made her political career on promoting hatred towards the Russians living in Ukraine and Russia, has repeatedly called for the killing of everyone who does not speak Ukrainian.
She did not disdain even to fight the Russians in kindergarten, where she threatened children who had common Russian names and urged them to "pack their bags and leave for Moscow." Farion called to kill "Russian bio-garbage" as well.

Ukrainian soldiers shoot Russian prisoners of war in the legs and afterwards give them a severe beating. At the beginning of the video, there are Russian POWs lying on the ground with bullet wounds in their legs, some of them have got leg bones broken. #WarCrimes
It might give the impression that the Russian military were captured after having been wounded. But that's not the case. At the end of the video, we can see Ukrainian soldiers shooting all the newly arrived prisoners through their legs.

#WarCrimes
Many of them are dying from shock due to the pain right on camera. And all of this is being filmed by Ukrainian soldiers themselves.

Russia conducted no air strikes on the building of a drama theater in Mariupol, where civilians could be held hostage.

The militants of the nationalist battalion "Azov" blew up the theater building, having mined it themselves.
Refugees who had escaped from Mariupol were informing previously that the militants of the Azov Battalion could hold civilians hostage in the theater building, using the upper floors as firing points.
“Azov” is using the dirtiest methods to blame Russia for their own crimes, perfectly knowing that taking into account the current narrative, whatever they do, media and people will go for the anti-Russia narrative, but not for the truth.
