Everything with the democrats is fake.

Nolte: Why the Media’s Moral Panic Around Ukraine Failed to Reboot Biden’s Presidency
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/04/11/nolte-why-medias-moral-panic-ukraine-failed-reboot-bidens-presidency/

As we all saw in the first days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the goal of Democrats and their corporate media allies was to swamp the news cycle with hysterical, 24/7 stories about this moral outrage. The invasion was deliberately covered in an overwhelming and coordinated flood of “outrage” stories that would knock inflation/crime/illegal immigration/gas prices, etc., out of the news cycle.

Your article says - “More specifically, the far-reaching campaign has been focused on stopping the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which Ukrainian officials argue is as much of a threat to their security as Russian troops.”

So this is what the communists at The Intercept are accusing Ukraine - lobbying for exactly what Trump wanted and Biden reneged on.

The magazine tries to make it huge by focusing on a meaningless measurement of “contacts”.

Meanwhile Ukraine doesn’t make it anywhere near the top with their $2M spending in 2021.

Our MSM backs them up! Makes me sick that even Fox News is pro-Ukraine. The only one I know who isn’t pushing the BS Ukraine message is Tucker. Even Levin is spouting Ukraine bs.

Lol. Those are officially reported numbers. Ukraine just hands out cash in brown paper bags here. But keep supporting Soros.

Do you know what is funded by Soros - Quincy Institute - the author of this article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_Institute_for_Responsible_Statecraft

“Initial funding for the group, launched in November 2019,[1] included half a million dollars each from the Open Society Foundations (George Soros) and the Koch Foundation (Charles Koch)”
