A UN team has found “clear and convincing” information that hostages in Gaza were sexually abused, the UN special envoy on sexual violence in conflict told reporters. There are “reasonable grounds” to believe the sexual violence is ongoing, she added www.cnn.com/2024/03/04/e...
A NATO official sends me some salient and measured analysis on the Germany-Ukraine leak. (yes, this really was from a NATO official).
This is, naturally, very unhelpful at a time Western support for Ukraine is facing some particularly tricky challenges. I wrote last week about the next 12 months being critical, especially regarding European financial support for Ukraine. edition.cnn.com/2024/02/22/e...
It is the default position of supranational institutions to not rule out things that might help a crisis. What Jones has done is taken a fairly bland statement of fact and not only spun it into the most absurd version of itself, but surrounded it in EMERGENCY FURNITURE.
What Macron is doing here is not ruling something out. That thing is probably unlikely, but that is why things like NATO exist. I am not ruling out having a car accident one day, which is why I have insurance. I hope it doesn't happen, but I am not ruling it out.
Jones, whose own lawyers said in a defamation case that he shouldn't be taken seriously or believed, probably knows this. It's DISinfo rather than MISinfo because it's designed to deceive rather than spread accidentally. It's manipulating a truth to spread a lie.
Classic example of disinformation. Macron, of course, has said nothing of the sort. Here is what he said: "There is no consensus ... to send troops on the ground ... Nothing should be excluded. We will do everything that we must so that Russia does not win"
