Open Letter: IEEE Spectrum editors apparently fell for Russian propaganda

Are these true? You tell me - is the interpretation that Russian should not have invaded Ukraine, and that the world should support Ukrainian sovereignty "questionable" in any serious sense?

Historically speaking, which wars would have been stopped had your policy been in place?

Would either of the two world wars been stopped? How much more consideration would we need for Germany's perspective on Lebensraum as a justification for territorial expansionism and genocide?

Would the American Civil War have stopped if the South better understood the North's position regarding slavery, or vice versa?

Would the British have NOT gone to war with the Falklands if they had just listened more to the Argentinian's long-held land claims and the junta's need "to mobilise the long-standing patriotic feelings of Argentines towards the islands, diverting public attention from the chronic economic problems and the ongoing human rights violations of its Dirty War,[19] bolstering the junta's dwindling legitimacy"? (Quoting Wikipedia.)

Also, when you write "other side's perspective", who gets the right to decide that perspective? Why Gorbunov and no mention of the the 8,000 Russian scientists who have spoken against the war?

The US claims they invaded Iraq because of Iraqi nuclear weapons, despite the IAEA findind "no evidence or plausible indication of the revival of a nuclear weapons program in Iraq". The US even presented "evidence" to the UN Security Council - much of what was latter shown to be wrong.

Yet presenting that false propaganda increased world-wide support for war.

Just like false propaganda can dissuade support for the defense of Ukraine.

Don't trust FUD arguments.
