Russia claims it did not massacre civilians in Ukraine, citing conspiracy theories that evidence was manipulated or filmed with crisis actors

Business Insider|21 minutes ago
Russia is following a familiar playbook, promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation in denying its behind atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine.


Maybe Alex can get a gig there.

Ah yes, the ever busy Crisis Actors troupe.

They are everywhere these days.

Now are these living actors supposed to be playing tortured and dead, or are these crisis corpses?

I mean, we need to know to properly give respect to the wardrobe and makeup depts. Oscar worthy SFX.

They stole the bodies from the COVID-19 plandemic team.

Large Ukrainian surrender.

"First major surrender of Ukrainian forces in Mariupol, reportedly 267 marines."



Essentially, those Ukrainian POW's are hostages for negotiating whatever Putin's whim is at any given moment in time.

It seems to me Putin has the same absence of compassion, morals and ethics and the same myopic narcissism as Donald Trump. Small wonder that Trump is the perfect protégé for Putin to cultivate in his image. It's the kind of character defects that dictators are so well known to have in common.

Not tweezers??? How?

Edit: To remove a stinger, scrape the back of a knife or other straight-edged object across the stinger. Do not use tweezers since it may squeeze the venom sac and increase the amount of venom released into the wound. Next wash the site thoroughly with soap and water.

Ah, well, I had no idea.

NEXT time be sure to check in with us PRIOR to getting stung!

Gazprom owns a significant chunk of Germany's natural gas storage capacity and they want to go into next winter full. Taking control is necessary to accomplish that.
PJSC Gazprom is a Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation headquartered in the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg. As of 2019, with sales over $120,000,000,000, it was ranked as the largest publicly listed natural gas company in the world and the largest company in Russia by revenue. Wikipedia

"I don't believe this video either. Every Ukrainian warrior has clearly marked blue or yellow. These guys, only the front guys are marked with blue. Did they run out of tape ? Or is it another fake video from Russia."

None of those surrendering looked to have been wounded. Not even a scratch. After 40 days in a war zone. In a besieged city.


The video is appearing and disappearing on the internet, here is one link, not sure how long it will be good:
no blood, no grit, mismatched uniforms, no patches, just a bunch of relatively clean looking guys walking past a camera.

In a minor side note on who to not donate to, the International Committee of the Red Cross has earned themselves a horrid reputation in Ukraine.

Have echoed Kremlin propaganda, held photo shoots with Russian politicians, collected tens of millions in donations for Ukraine. And … that’s it since start of war.

Oh, they finally did send a half dozen or so reps to Ukraine finally in last few days, that were supposed to somehow magically evacuate the 100,000 or so remaining trapped civilians in Mariupol. But they’ve only managed photo ops and press releases from safe areas so far.

Latest gem of let’s “both sides” blame the victims:

I am more sympathetic. If they are going to evacuate anyone in Ukraine, they need to suck up to the Russians.

That said, I also would not send them a penny.

I'm pleased to say that my Twitter "posting privileges" have been suspended for 12 hours simply for suggesting that Tucker Carlson deserves to have naughty things done to him with a sharp stick.



Far as I'm concerned that POS belongs in a cage for life just for the poison that's come out of his mouth related to Putin/Ukraine alone.

Seriously tempted to delete my Twitter account.

Ukraine war has been first time I’ve actually found Twitter to be useful.

That being said, I had deleted my account years ago, and get by just fine without it. (Limits on scrolling down specific feeds is irritating, but can be mostly bypassed using Twitter search engine)

Why the Red Cross has to stay neutral in Ukraine (BBC News)

"The International Committee of the Red Cross has condemned what it calls a "widespread and systematic campaign of misinformation" about its work in Ukraine."

Don't need an active Twitter account to read stuff!

And I only said I was "tempted" not that I was doing it even though I almost never post there!

Not saying it is, but looks a lot like a bunch of Russian conscripts dressed up for a propaganda piece. Time will tell I suppose.

It's almost as if selling off all your critical national infrastructure to the highest bidder is a bad thing. Thatcher would not approve.

Can't believe congress was so fucking stupid as to believe the lie that selling off critical/strategic infrastructure to potential geopolitical adversaries was a smart play.

Probably was sold as a mechanism to bring such flare ups to heel under the guise of economic leverage. Guess we see how that played out.

An enemy of Ukraine is no friend of mine.

More to the point. Russia's Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing is what China would also do to any nation or people of a nation that China gets their hands on.
China has already used a quieter approach of the same idea against the Uighurs.
Of course they do not object to Russia doing the same.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that overall the Red Cross has helped a crap-ton more people then they've hurt over many decades.

The fact is that being politically neutral means they will also provide aid to civilians on the dreaded "other side".
