You don't need to say "both" because "equal" already covers that.
For intents and purposes, CNN is right with Fox as far as trustworthiness that the "news" is more than just political talking points for their respective sides.
You calling it a false equivalence doesn't make it one.
Task and Purpose probably fits the bill of what you are looking for.
Hater loved it when Putin used barrel bombs and aided Syria in the use of chemical weapons to kill Syrian civilians.
Hater loves humanity first dont you know. I imagine nuclear weapons would suit him fine. He could use so many:
And then later claim nuclear weapons are not as bad as they seem.
Youtubers and twitter freaks can supply all his fantasies.
Plus the Iraqi's did most of the heavy lifting there.

You have yet to prove it is an equivalence. You claiming they are "equal" doesn't mean that they are.
Your claim, your burden of proof, Cosmored.
How are things going for the Trump-Putin wing of the Republican party today?

You tapped "the everything on Biden at any cost."
They followed.
You deserve it.
Hater having a full on meltdown today. I can only assume that means Russia hasn’t finished the “operation” yet as he earlier predicted.

Car Parts, Chips, Sunflower Oil: War in Ukraine Threatens New Shortages
The Russian invasion has shut down auto factories, hit steel supplies and severed transportation routes. Commodity prices are soaring for sunflower oil, natural gas and wheat.
Usually you cite me with some demeaning job and I mope around all day on here and in the house. "What's wrong, Dale?" --- "That gd guy on the Internet, he treated me like ."
"Then why don't you take a bath, honey, you smell like a skunk."
You have taken on the job of a fanatic.
You accepted a burden. There is a cost. I did not think smell was one of them, but, oh well...

I like when Hulka got knocked off his tower by a stray mortar round and he kind of beeped laying flat on the ground and proceeded to choke John Candy.
Q:"What happened to your commanding officer?"
Murray: "Blowed up sir"
Troops in unison: "Blowed up sir!"
Yep, and this gem..."Never hit anyone in anger, unless you're absolutely sure you can get away with it."

https://the-blindspot.com/is-putins-...domestic-cbdc/What could Plan B be?
Putin may well have realised that his current “managed democracy” is unlikely to survive continuing interactions with the Western countries – especially if Ukraine turns West.
He needs a software reset and that software is now available. And that is crypto. But not Bitcoin and similar. He will be using a “fiat crypto” – a central-bank digital currency which is used to replace cash across the Russian economy. China is already basically there with the digital yuan.
Imagine a world where the state could monitor everything that you spend, and also switch your access to currency on and off at will.
China is already almost there. Living in China almost mandatorily requires access to WeChat. This is how you pay for your McDonalds (which no longer takes credit cards, by the way) – and it is how you organise your life. When your access to WeChat is limited, life becomes very difficult very quickly. And shortly a digital yuan, riding on the back of the marketing machine that is crypto, will mean that the state, through the central bank, will be able to abolish cash. And then the state will have full control. Big brother will have truly arrived.
Is this where Russia is going?
In the last few years, we can observe two very important technologies emerging in Russia:
- Every single shop till in Russia is now connected in real-time to the tax system. It is illegal for a shop to sell goods or services via a till which is not connected. Every receipt that you get has a cryptographic code evidencing that the transaction has been recorded for tax purposes in the central system. The man who delivered this project for the Federal Tax Service is now the deputy prime minister of Russia, Mikhail Mishustin.
- In the years since 2014, Russia has built its own internal clearing system called “Mir”. This has enabled Russian banks and commercial infrastructure to operate independently of the visa, mastercard and SWIFT as an internal matter.
Russia has already demonstrated the ability to roll technology out across the whole country in order to increase the control of the state. Russian citizens have not yet appreciated what this means – but the next step is now required and it is much bigger than before.
So why invade Ukraine?
Putin’s focus here is the manipulation of his own population.
He is going introduce a digital rouble and likely abolish cash. The technology to do this is already available. With this in place, he will be able to control his population through their wallets – monitoring everything that his people spend and deciding who should have access to money and who should not.
A software reset based around a new digital currency requires mass adoption and acceptance – and a population that is ready to accept a much higher level of centralised control.
In order to do this, he needs to isolate his country and ensure that his population is submissive and accepting of a significant change in how things work. This necessarily includes undermining confidence in the rouble as a cash-based currency and cutting Russia’s payment systems off from international markets. Then he can bring in a state-controlled digital alternative – something that the Chinese are already well on the path to implement for themselves.
This is the dictator’s dream – controlling the people via their wallets, absolutely and totally. As we have been saying ourselves: “banks not tanks”. How much he must be laughing when he hears this phrase. And we are willingly helping Putin here, we are his accomplices in this grand plan – not that there is much we can do about it.
And once the new system is in place and working, borders can come down, concessions of a kind can be made and maybe interactions with liberal western democracies resume – but now with control systems in place that can conserve his regime for the long term.
