If you bother reading the sources, then you'll see that these aren't primary sources of anything the Russian government said. These are articles and interpretations by western analysts and think tanks. Feel free to link statements from the Russian government though.

Again, if a source is incorrect, feel free to remove it.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

Again, provide primary sources for your claims.

[-] sweng@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago

I already have sources. If you don't believe them, it's up to you to show that, not me to provode you with endless sources that you anyway will reject for some reason.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Do you understand the concept of a primary source?

[-] sweng@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago
[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

then feel free to provide some

[-] sweng@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

I'm happy with the current ones, thanks.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

You did not provide any primary sources, so evidently you don't understand what a primary source is. Good chat.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Where are your primary sources?

Does that also mean you don't understand what they are?

See this does not work the way you think it does.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago

I'm not the one making the claim. I'm saying that I have not seen any official Russian statement to this effect. However, if you have a source for one then please show it.

See this does not work the way you think it does.

[-] sweng@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

You are the one claiming the given sources are incorrect. You are the one making a claim, and you are the one the burden of proof falls on.

You are really hurting the Russian case here. They do their best to act all tough and intimidating, and here all you come with is crying about not liking the provided sources. You're making them look even worse then they already do.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

I said that you failed to provide primary sources to support your claims.

[-] sweng@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Yes, and then what? Are you somehow suggesting that only primary sources can be used as sources? I've never heard anyine take that position before.

Of course, one can challenge sources (of any type) but that does usully require some type of argument for why the source is incorrect, and not just because you don't like it.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago

I'm suggesting that when you say Russian red lines have been crossed without consequences, you need to provide primary sources from Russia regarding what Russian red lines are. I see this is a very difficult concept for you to grasp.

Of course, one can challenge sources (of any type) but that does usully require some type of argument for why the source is incorrect, and not just because you don’t like it.

The source is incorrect because the red lines claimed in the source haven't actually been articulated by Russia, and none of the links in your source actually trace back to statements from Russia. So, claiming Russian red lines have been crossed when there is zero actual evidence these were Russian red lines is nonsensical.

Oh its so much funnier then that, They then provide non primary sources while demanding everyone else "Proves" them wrong only with primary sources. This is a joke at this point.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

They did and some of us watched it live (we are told) on russian state TV in 2022,2023 and just last month. Please provide primary sources that contradict what I witnessed.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

still waiting for that official statement bud, should be really easy to find since you obviously wouldn't make things up

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Wrong person, you want @sweng@programming.dev

But yes, if you want to have a official statement watch the victory day parade speech putin made.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

Again, feel free to link to the part of the parade where Putin says what you two are claiming he said. Should be really easy to do since it's publicly available.
