What's worse: it's not just Berlusconi TVs (and newspapers). That would be expected.

State TV (Rai) mostly hosts "pro-peace" pundits, casually echoing Kremlin propaganda talking points one by one.

The newspaper Republic, once known to be anti-Berlusconi, is regularly hosting articles written by De Feo, who constantly dooms about *nuclear apocalypse* and advanced hypersonic russian weapons that would not give us italians a chance if we make Putin angry.

And I won't even talk about politicians.

Would love to send your writing to Armin Wolf. But I'm afraid even there no reaction to be expected.

Real Life is way scary than conspiracy theories... Here in Portugal it's a little better, but depends on the channel. Only the far left political scene is "pro putt.... i mean pro peace". But most of the political scene openly condemnes Putin, even some of the left. Most of the people is also against Putin. But I do get the feeling that the damage situation is underreported. And most of the media is on the fence about who did it... I really find this situation appalling.

hey.. I'm from Nova Kakhovka. I can't describe what I'm feeling lately. It was scary and dark and now it's getting to level of absurd and real hell. and I feel the same reaction from the world as described here, even from the friends or collegues from "the west".. "as if nothing happened". The whole life, childhood, happy memories, LIVES are going under water. And world doesn't hear. I really feel like those characters in "don't look up" movie.. But hey, thank you for being a human, thanks for this post. We'll never give up.

Thank you, Tom. In fact, I am sincerely grateful to people who support Ukrainians. And I thank you too, because information is an extremely powerful weapon (the pudding knows). I have complaints against high-ranking officials and international organizations. I understand - bureaucracy, fear of losing one's position. But isn't a broken career worth thousands of saved lives? Will they wait for the accident at the ZNPS? These are rhetorical questions...

Thx.

And nope, it is not. In ORF news, everything is nicely organised: if they spend 10% of the news show for reporting about one of parties in parliament, then they must spend another 10% of reporting about any other of parties in parliament (in the same show).

That's where no space is left for some strange country there, which spoiled the business of Raiffeisen, STRABAG and similar corporations...

My friend said unpopular opinion today:

"German leaders were forced to dupport Ukraine against their will and hope that Ukraine will loose quick. So now no surprise Sholtz wants to call putler after 2-3 days of negative news, despite of over a year positive news"

Corrupt old politisians I understand.

But all leftists, globalists and feminists I dont.

Raping women, children, destroying ecosystems, treat of nuclear station bomb.

Chance to fight for: ecology, women, children and so on.

Still not a single feminist, not a single freaking Tunberg is signed for Ukrainia foreign legion to fight russians.

After this I dont believe them at all. Liers

I have just realised that you are god, you know who blew the dam, while other’s who have presented all kinds of evidence and arguments still don’t know for sure and clearly state that, while you are positive. Good for you, very similar to the MSM, but with less resources and funds. I subscribed hoping for some real journalism, but it’s just shallow opinion, my bad. I will unsubscribe from your nonsense, but thank you for the effort, I see you have some similar followers needing confirmation of their fixed views, at least you are doing them a service.

Firstly, nobody forced you to read.

Secondly, it's your decision to ignore fundamental physical laws - even if, if you prefer to do so, it's certain to appear 'strange' if construction of such massive facilities like Dnipro-dam turns out to be based on them.

One way or the other, the department for reporting about Satanic mini-Biden-zombies on dope cultivated in Ukrainian bio-labs is three doors further....

Good riddance, take your nonsense somewhere else, and while you're about it, try telling everyone Hitler was a great statesman and Stalin was a humanitarian.

all the italian news reported about the great counteroffensive, with little details as Ucraine is obviously zip-lip about what is going on. on the battlefields The first title however was the final football match between Inter and Manchester , the second was the health of the pope ... ok it's saturday and it's Italy, but our rprime minister is very strongly on the side fo Ucraine with utmost convinction .

It is not you who should feel ashaimed. You are active and sharp, and bright, in favour of complex principles, not for easier life just for yourself, no matter what. Thank you, Tom.

I think that we see the result of the Russian and pro-Russia propaganda. They have managed to sow just enough doubt about who is responsible for the dam destruction, so that nobody dares to write about the massive impact is having (and going to have), because ‘what if it was Ukrainians after all’. Makes me sick, honestly.
