AI summary:

A Chilean journalist, Gonzalo Lira, who had been living in Ukraine, was arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine on suspicion of pro-Russian sympathies and criticizing the government. He had been detained before in April, released, and then rearrested for voicing views critical of the West and Ukraine’s government. He faced torture while imprisoned, then managed to post bail but decided to flee to Hungary for political asylum. He believed the Ukrainian government was setting him up to be arrested again. He went missing after attempting to cross the Ukrainian-Hungarian border. The situation highlighted concerns about free speech and the treatment of dissenters in Ukraine.

He was reporting on Ukrainian military positions to the russians.

Funny how that gets left out.

If that’s true why aren’t the mainstream propaganda outlets all over this story to make the Russians look bad?

If he did that why did they let him back out on bail?

The bootlickers are the ones who believe everything that the elite tells them through the mainstream propaganda outlets.

At least I’m looking at alternative sources.

I’m not telling you to believe what he says. RT shouldn’t be trusted and neither should BBC, CNN, and other US propaganda outlets. The only way to learn the truth is looking at both perspectives and using critical thinking.

Oh wow a TikTok and YouTube video. Irrefutable proof that everything you say must be true and factual. 🙄

Can you explain why your title reads “U.S. journalist” yet the very first line of the article states “Chilean journalist?” Why does your link contain material directly from Russian state media? You claim that US media are pushing lies, but how does that have any bearing on whether your link is true? Sounds like someone needs to redo their Propaganda101 course. Good luck, comrade!

The TikTok video appears to be more well-researched than most of the current reporting.

The summary is AI generated. You need to hear both Russian and US propaganda if you want to be able to know the truth about the war. The link doesn’t have to be true, you have to do your own due diligence by gathering as much information as possible and sifting through it if you want to reach the truth. This is just a piece of the puzzle. I don’t know why someone so critical of Russia would say comrade.

Edit: a dual citizen of the United States and Chile, who has been living in Kharkiv

LOL unironically baying for Russian blood and demanding more tanks to be sent to the proxy war meat grinder and watching war footage and cheering as long as the narrative is Russians getting shot and then lacking self awareness to the degree that you call someone else a bootlicker? Will wonders never cease.

Jimmy Dore, a man who has publically admitted he will say anything for the highest bidder. I’ll never believe a word he says about anything.
