'Western' Conflict Reporting Has Come Down To "Officials On Our Side Said ..." (There are at least three reasons behind this journalistic failure. First, journalist are hired to support the conventional narrative. Secondly, funding a real news room is expensive and doesn't pay for itself. Thirdly, Rupert Murdoch showed that the way to make money through "news" is entertainment, thus, the tabloid model. Caveat emptor.

“Pro-Russian officials ‘assassinated’ in Kherson ahead of Ukraine offensive” (Col. Lang comments, "Comment: This increase in partisan activity probably reflects the presence of US Special Forces soldiers (Green Berets) advising and training. This is our preferred mode of operation. It is why we were created. DOL. pl" Interesting that he, in a position to know, cites this type of activity as the speciality of the special forces. I had thought of assassination as the speciality of the operational division of the CIA rather than the military. Learn something every day.)

(W.E. Talk) Wolfram Elsner: Why has China found a way to peaceful rise, without repeating the previous hegemonic conflicts? (longish but worth a read.
