Why would anyone attack Belgium?  the only evil thing about Belgium is that their chockolate  tastes like it is made from mix of poo, dead roaches and urine.
After this attack this is the first time Belgium even appears in news. Belgium is so insignificant, that you can just leave it as blank space on europe map.

I still don't see any mention of that dead security guard on other websites, but reading the DH's own article they do mention that security services apparently tried to hush things up, so it's possible the other website are just better at respecting instructions than the DH. And before you go about the Lügenpresse protecting muslims or whatever, keep in mind that if the info in that article is true, they suspect the badge was stolen, but they deactivated it. So now they just have to wait for the killer to show up at the plant with a non-working badge and catch him there, so it make sense not to publicize the fact that they're aware it was stolen and planned for it.

Thanks for ruining everything again DH.
I know that feeling...
Now imagine that kind of journalists during a war. They happily disclose military secrets and then scream about freedom of speech.

Nah, it turned out most of the story was false.

Sure it happened. Nowadays it is not as common but in 2014\early 2015 we had a lot of stuff like "Unit X arrived to city Y" or "unit Z has no enough anti-tank weapons" or "enemy artillery strike was successful and we lost that that many soldiers and such equipment" in open press.

Should anyone criticize them for doing so they go "Corrupt military officials want to shut our mouths to hide how bad our army is!" mode.

Eh. Yeah. Problem is that when you don't let anyone report on the war, no one's there to speak up about the crimes. Least not if the soldiers are well trained.

Either way you run it, someone's boned.

Reporting in the war is possible. Just give a few days for units to relocate before running your news story, or keep detailed position out of your article.

The most delicate thing is reporting own causalities. Sure, no one wants to be Russia who don't care about their own dead but immediate reporting of causalities is an idiocy bordering treason.

*posting this is probably a very bad idea, but well, here goes*
EDIT: It was a bad idea. Putting all under the spoiler, to avoid polluting the "friendly and polite" space.

Oh, Sergarr, I love you. With Knit Tie departing from the Eurothread, I was afraid we wouldn't have a Putinbot here anymore. :) But you deliver.

"because, as we know by this point, Ukraine has never actually won an engagement with Russian forces in which the Russian forces wanted to win"
 
Such a great statement! Cannot be disproved, because any engagement won by Ukraine would just be one you didn't really want to win anyway. <3
