Any other fake news? Yes.

Most likely it’s fake news Melitopol hasn’t fallen. News outlets from India reported it fell. I’m almost certain the Turkish news video clip I watched said it fell.

Any more fake news? Yes.

And...

WMD’s in Iraq.

Obama said we’ve got to have NATO bomb Libya with the U.S. “leading from behind” over unproven allegations that Gaddafi was going to attack his own citizens.

Obama/Biden said the Arab Spring would be so wonderful.

No, I’m tired of unending militarist interventionism as opposed to the chickenhawk trolls like you I encounter from time to time who want to use Putin and Russia as a foil to try and egg Americans into yet another war they won’t fight in themselves.

Snake Island surrendered. They did not die defending it. They are alive.

The “tank” that ran over the old man’s car was Ukrainian.

Nothing beats the “Ghost of Kyiv” literally being an NPC except maybe the people buying this stuff.

The ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ Is The Mythical Hero Ukraine Needs Right Now

Do not tell the RINO Freepers this because their war boners will go as flaccid as their minds.

It figures that RINO idiot would fall for something FAKE. I’m sure “Raul” can spot those Russian jets so clearly with those reading glasses.
