    Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there’s little they can deny…

        Conflating Bellingcat with the CIA is a hilariously bad take.

        “Last year marked the final year of project funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) that provided funding for Russian-language workshops at no cost to journalists and human rights researchers based in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia and the Caucasus. We continued our project for the Swedish Postcode Lottery (SPL), which among others supported free trainings on ideological extremism for organisations in Europe.”

        You seem to be misinformed. Also, provide proof that the NED is CIA, because that is quite a claim!

        That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:

        The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

    Zionists can murder whoever they like and Western governments will defend the killers.

    Israel claims it was unintentional.

    This is the fourth clearly marked and coordinated aid convoy that I can recall getting hit just from news stories.

    The only thing unintentional about this was killing passport holders from western countries. This is a clear pattern of targeting aid convoys.

      was killing passport holders from western countries

      I think that was intentional too, it’s aimed at scaring the volunteers.
