3. I have the same impression of LBN posts about how the war is going in Ukraine

I'm "pro-Ukraine" as my avatar suggests, but frankly I don't think posts from Ukraine sources about how the war is going meet LBN standards, although I don't alert on them as I know it would be a waste of the hosts' and my time. (Ditto Russian sources of course, although I would be much more likely to alert on them if I saw them).

I always thought LBN was supposed to have a higher standard about what are and aren't "reputable mainstream sources" than general DU posts (which aren't subject to the "reputable mainstream" rule, but just to rules like about RW sources, RW talking points, and Kooky/extremist), but I guess maybe I'm wrong about that.

And then there are all the videos being posted (on DU generally, thankfully not on LBN), that long have made me wonder why not, by then/now, the last remnants of the Russian military and government aren't reduced to barely holding out in a last redoubt at the tip of the Kamchatka peninsula.
