Like Putin's most hated apartment building back in February that was actually hit by a Ukrainian air defense Buk? I doubt they're aiming at playgrounds, all the telegram channels are talking about infrastructure destruction (which is an escalation after 7 months, to be sure)
Best place for detailed day-to-day information on the war. ASB Military distinguished themselves early on by weeding out fakes and reposted videos from Syria for instance, confirming locations and identifying weapons systems from video. Banned from Twitter a while ago (I think for showing the detached booster section and serial number of the Ukrainian cluster rocket that hit the railway station in Kramatorsk and that was blamed on the Russians) and now apparently rebranded.

Yes, but to quote Adam Johnson of :the-podcast:, the base unit of propaganda isn't lies, it's emphasis. I don't think anyone here is sincerely doubting that at some point in the now 7 month long and ongoing Ukrainian conflict that at SOME point, the Russian military did end up blasting a children's playground. But the fact that the tragedies committed by the Russian forces are routinely highlighted while all of the arguably more obvious tragedies that the Ukrainian army commits are routinely swept under the rug is pushing an extremely dangerous narrative that can only logically conclude in NATO intervention.
Is it a tragedy that this happened? Of course. But the way this is framed as some unique tragedy committed by the dastardly ruskies is just consent manufacturing for NATO to get involved and doing something even more horrendous

i'm writing this down
Twitter libs, neocons and neolibs celebrated the death of the "collaborators". Even if Ukraine does something openly heinous I think they will get away with it.
That too is also a possibility. I don't live in Ukraine, nor have I ever been anywhere close to it in my life. I'm just some schlub on an entire different side of the world. All I know of this is that some guy on Reddit posted a picture of a bomb crater in a playground and said "look at evil putin". This could be a picture of a different event. This might just be a completely photoshopped image. Who fucking knows?

Need to remember this

Some of the stuff they say about places like North Korea and Cuba is obviously completely fabricated though
That playground carried all the water, heating and electrical infrastructure for the whole nations.
