False Framing, Genocidal Ecocide, Greta, and First Fellas.
It's false to frame the story of Ruschia's genocidal ecocide as a "debate" between Ruschia and Ukraine over blame.
1949 Geneva Conventions determine Ruschia, as Occupant, is 100% responsible for the dam.
Those who fall for the Russia versus Ukraine framing for this war are falling for a Ruschist troll: Ukraine is fighting for the rules-based order established for ALL of us after WWII.
Ruschia by violating the ABSOLUTE prohibition on Wars of Aggression explicitly introduced after WWII is the Aggressor. Ruschia has no right to False Balance.
"Balance" and "objectivity" and "impartiality" means framing everything about Ruschia's war of aggression as Ruschia vs. post-WWII legal order.
There's NO debate about Ruschia's unlawful occupation and destruction of the dam.
Ruschia unlawfully occupies 100% of the dam.
Ruschia knows our media's weakness for false frames. So, Ruschia reflexively controls the framing of our discourse, simply by introducing a doubt. Our media and many of our minds fall for this troll.
A "Story" that can be framed by an actual river with two banks is a perfect frame for Ruschist "Both Sidesism" mental models to take hold. Ruschia plays our minds and biases towards False Framing like a 🎻.
So editors avoid the Ruschist ecocidal genocidal catastrophe "story" like they would a poison yet it is wholly caused by Ruschia.
All that said, during the 1930s for years on end Muscovy executed genocide in Ukraine in complete silence. This is NOT happening today. Ukrainians have a voice today.
Yesterday was the one year anniversary of the existence of #NAFO #FELLAS.
A lot done. A lot more to do.

I remember meeting, as a diplomat a group of Ukrainian school children at an Eco Fair in Zaporozhzhia in 2019. They told me they were inspired to school strike by you @GretaThunberg. Their teacher was very proud of them. This is why your statement after speaking to @ZelenskyyUa is so welcome.
