51·9 months agoOh to be clear I’m not doubting the story/headline, I’m just curious about the source because I’ve never heard of them before.
There are a lot of AI generated ripoffs out there, as well as straight propaganda. I like to at least understand where my news is coming from.
What is this source?
As far is I can tell, “The War Zone” is part of The Drive (a defunct YouTube channel, now a website), owned by a company called Recurrent that also owns Popular Science and Bob Vila.
Maybe it’s credible, maybe not, but without context it’s super hard to tell.

For anyone unaware, Eurasian Times is a Russian propaganda outlet banned by Wikipedia.

192·10 months agoHere are some options I use in my rotation.
Brave Search (skip the browser)
Mojeek
Qwant (French)
Yandex (Russian)
Mullvad Leta (Mullvad VPN subscription required)
MetaGer (German meta search)
Startpage (Private Google results)
DuckDuckGo (Private Bing results)
SearXNG and similar self hosted options are awesome, but I’ve found them unreliable.
Be skeptical of Kagi… It’s promoted pretty heavily around here for something that’s not FOSS.
Not sure why you got downvoted like crazy, but Brave legitimately has a great search engine. It also uses its own crawlers unlike DDG, Startpage or Kagi who are really just meta search engines piggybacking off other companies’ results.
It’s funny how quickly the conversation went from Israel is committing genocide and the US is supporting them to “DPKR, CCP, and USSR did nothing wrong…”
If you’re gonna keep throwing that word around, you really ought to define it.
As it stands, calling the Korean War, or more specifically the American bombings during it, genocide is ill informed at best. While the US did have a substantial role, so did China and Russia. This included boots on the ground and pilots in the air. It is true that ~2 million civilians were killed in the war though, and casualties were split roughly even between both sides of the conflict.
I would venture to say that the Korean War was no more a genocide than the American Civil war was.

Reposting my comment in a way that hopefully doesn’t violate rule 5.
This type of comment is everything that is wrong with geopolitics. The correct response to hearing about an atrocity is not whataboutism.
The statement isn’t factually wrong, but it’s an asshole thing to say.
