I'd rather not leave people spreading disinformation unchallenged / unchecked. Someone else might read their comments and think that's the right opinion to have.

Oh absolutely report them first, but remember, a simple downvote and then (report+block) means they're shouting into the abyss.

I rarely report people anymore, especially on communities that don't even state any rules at all. I pretty much blocked all direct news communities due to them ignoring Tankies & disinformation within the comments, arguing they cannot fact check everything. And yes, I get that. But there's been so much obvious ones that I cannot support moderation on this platform in good faith anymore. Especially when some mods end up threatening me with a ban for reporting people, since reports here are not anonymous.

It's technically not disinformation. Just a flawed conclusion. Politely pointing out alternative, more accurate, ways to look at it is the recommended method.

Given their previous bullshit comments I'm very much convinced that it is indeed disinformation. They're certainly not acting in good faith with their arguments.

Had he stated anything about what the SOF in Ukraine were doing I would agree with you. I believe the consensus is they are there training Ukraine troops.
