How to fight against war disinformation? Julian Assange shows a way
January 1st of each year is the time for formulating resolutions to keep or break (usually the latter) during the 365 days ahead. So Martina, an ex-pacifist who now is no longer “ex”, has decided to make only one resolution for 2023. “That way,” she says, “I’m sure to keep it.”
The Ukrainian government, like Israel in Gaza, relentlessly goes on bombing residential areas in the eastern regions “to kill the terrorists hiding out there” (but also the civilians living there). The separatists, called “terrorists”, are in a siege; to break it, they have launched a bloody counteroffensive to the South, with civilian casualties there, too.

Another £22 billion will be allocated to military defence spending. Minister Giorgetti invoked Article 52 of the Constitution to say that "the defence of the Fatherland is a sacred duty of the citizen". But the figures on the military gap between NATO and Russia help us understand that this is propaganda.
Altri 22 miliardi saranno destinati alle spese militari difesa. Il ministro Giorgetti ha richiamato l'articolo 52 della Costituzione per dire che "la difesa della Patria è sacro dovere del cittadino". Ma i numeri del divario militare Nato/Russia ci servono a capire che è propaganda.
Per il ministro della Difesa polacco Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, un aereo militare russo operava nello spazio aereo internazionale "senza un piano di volo e con il transponder spento". Non aveva violato lo spazio aereo polacco ma le procedure di intercettazione e identificazione sono state attivate.
