    Nobody should believe anything because of a “bro trust me” and if you do you have a serious problem. I know nobody cares if I believe it, I am not stupid

      Denual is a refuge for weak arguments. Obviously the the countries that control fund8ng are not in denial.

        Bruh, “above our paygrade” is a prime example of denial, deflection, and appeal to authority.

          Another way of saying I do not have the information that the various countries have is not denial.

        Scepticism in the face of a lack of evidence, especially for a claim from one side involved in a war, is not only a good idea but necessary. Would you just believe a Russian claim about Ukranian schools, no questions asked?
