Think it’s a bit dark myself.

Dark or respectful and dignified, as the request for Red Cross to repatriate the dead could be interpreted as. It’s a fine line but I’d tend towards the latter whilst being fully aware of how powerful a message that is. Doing the right thing but not necessarily entirely innocently.

Stuff posted like that does seem to resonate though.

There’s a widely circulated video at the moment of a guy sending his wife and little girl on a bus. It’s all translated but the premise is there that he’s staying in Ukraine.

It is a powerful video, though I have no idea if it’s authentic or not.

To be clear, I’m not a propaganda spreader or an expert in spotting photoshopped pictures. I just thought it was a sad image.

Sometimes you can kind a way to do the right thing whilst still maintaining a narrative or agenda, the best military propagandists in the world did it.

We are building up our numbers in the region. I genuinely think we will be there defending Kiev before too long.

“British forces have arrived in eastern Europe to bolster NATO’s eastern flank.

Royal Navy ships, British Army troops and Royal Air Force fighters have been deployed.

HMS Trent is in the eastern Mediterranean, according to the Ministry of Defence (MoD), with helicopters and patrol aircraft. HMS Diamond, a destroyer, will join from Portsmouth.

Tanks and armoured units from the Royal Welsh have arrived in Estonia from Germany, with 1,000 troops arriving in the next few days. This means the British presence will double.”

I’m presuming you don’t understand what’s going on politically?
