True But ....'Real time' images can be biased too. Ukranian soldiers demonstrated racial biases against the Africans and Indians...acc to some reports pushing/shoving them with their weapons and being very unpleasant. Threatening them too. Treating them like animals..herding them in various directions. We will never know the truth until after all this is over...for fear of other threats to non-white racial groups. Mankind does not learn from its past errors.
Wars do bring out many variables in emotive behaviour!

All wars have wanton death and destruction, immeasurable pain and suffering, unfairness and hypocrisy. I think this war is different because of the unprecedented coverage of 'real time' images that haves a visceral effect on us.
