False report of 40 NK casualties prompts Seoul to warn against Ukrainian disinformation
False report of 40 NK casualties prompts Seoul to warn against Ukrainian disinformation
South Korean intelligence officials have adopted a skeptical stance when it comes to reports from Ukraine
South Korean intelligence officials have adopted a skeptical stance when it comes to reports from Ukraine. It’s gotten to the point where Korean intelligence officials are telling reporters to hold off on relaying reports about North Korean troops from Ukrainian officials until they receive third-party confirmation, because Ukraine makes “fake news” at the state level. This means we have to carefully consider the source of the information and the intentions behind it.
Thought this was pretty funny lol
Information is one of the biggest fronts of this war, you can be damn sure that both sides will release information that is favourable to them and not the enemy.
Does NK have free press?
That would be irrelevant because it's not SK's "free press," it's their government agents issuing this warning.
Friggin' downvotes on a serious question? I hope it brought some relief, you gentle egos.
I thought the article mentioned North Korean press but apparently it's about South Korean press.
Seoul is right in the headline.
And in the article (right at the top, repeatedly) it's not SK press, it's SK intelligence agents saying this. The headline wouldn't say "Seoul" and then have it be a private entity; "Seoul" is a metonym for the SK government. People only conflate individual institutions with the government when it's China and some Chinese business does something stupid but not illegal.
No, they haven't been allowed to develop that yet.
Na, not right now
Lol wut?
How come they don’t get downvoted like I do when I call out Ukrainian propaganda !?!?
Because downvotes don't exist in real life so Nazi supporting world users don't have a way to show disapproval at pointing out their favourite Nazis are basically lying about the state of the entire war.
Because you're not an imperial running dog like Seoul is.
