Did Russian Kinzhal Missile Take Out 'NATO Command Center' in Ukraine?
Newsweek.com ^ | 3/31/23 | Kulychev

Posted on 04/19/2023 4:14:20 PM PDT by wardaddy

Did a Rssian precision strike supposedly destroyed an underground "NATO command center" in Ukraine earlier this month, with "dozens" of Western officers and military personnel purportedly killed in the "Kinzhal" (or "Dagger) missile attack.

At least, that is the claim circulating on some social media channels, including those known for spreading pro-Kremlin talking points and Russian propaganda.

In some cases the claim was supported by a photo of the supposed strike site, showing large-scale devastation and a burned-down building.

People have been posting the claim but I don’t recall if threads were.

It would be hard to hide a lot of dead Germans, British or Americans. Sure the media can hide and lie about it forever, but what about friends and family?

At some point, families who get told your CIA/Military husband died in a car accident in Krakow or pottery kiln explosion at Emily Dickinson College are going to start asking questions.

Probably after a few dozen it becomes difficult to hide.

Newsweek fact checker, Yevgeny Kuklychev, says it never happened.

It has been my experience that most people don't ask such questions. Most people defer to authority.

I follow the war closely and from roughly 15 different sites and didn’t pick this up which seems odd. Even “Snoops” is calling BS on this story. “ Claim: In early March 2023, Russian forces used a Khinzal hypersonic missile to strike an underground NATO command center, killing up to 300 people including at...
Fact check by Snopes: False”

“Most of the posts on Twitter and Telegram appeared to base the claim on one of two sources: An obscure Greek news website ProNews and an outlet called “The Intel Drop.” The trustworthiness of both sources is highly questionable, however.

TheIntelDrop describes itself as “an unaligned news source for the intelligence and financial community,” but the awkward wording, basic grammar mistakes (”oversite”) and strange terminology, such as “black propaganda”, raise suspicions, indicating that it likely was not written by a native English speaker.”

And we all know that native English speakers are far more trustworthy.

It’s one way to get rid of NATO, getting rid of which will prevent more U.S. casualties later.
