Ukrainian Amb. Sergei Kyslytsya read out a screenshot of a text exchange between a Russian soldier and his mother from before he was killed during a meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.

I knew I couldn’t be the only one that was thinking of that song. I would never want to make light of people in a real wartime situation, but this 24/7 BS environment we’re in just overdoes it to the max.
“Gotta love misplaced modifiers.”

I’m just glad that nobody’s reading texts somebody wrote AFTER they died. That would be just too dang spooky.
Here’s another fake.
They aren’t even trying with these.

Funny - just today, seeing some of the amazing tales of astounding derring-do being uncritically reported reminded me of the ep with war correspondent Clayton Kibbee.

Her name was supposedly “Nayirah," and she had been in one of the hospitals that had been attacked. She was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States.
Her congressional testimony was a propaganda stunt that had been orchestrated by the PR firm Hill & Knowlton, which was being paid by the government of Kuwait.
So I'm taking this guy's testimony with a grain of salt, sorry.
The crazy thing is most FReepers have disregarded everything they have ever known about the effectiveness of Russian armor and its mechanized troops. They do this on the merits of blatantly obvious Ukrainian and western disinformation. Risky, dangerous business.
Agree, Yeah, you’d think with all the real horrors of war that people wouldn’t have to manufacture fake wrongs
If the real bad things about a war aren’t really all that bad, I’d say ya got a nice little spittin contest there.
LOL,.. could be. He’s an officer you know.
they dint pull all the phones before execution?
This story is also on the Daily Mail and it is unbelievable how many of the commenters absolutely believe it and any doubters are vilified. Gullible tools.
Nothing new. Not the first time fake war propaganda presented at UNGA.
Nothing new about tricking journalists, either:

Well, that goes both ways. The Putinistas 1st assured us Russia wasn’t going to invade, then that Putin just wanted to secure area the separatists controlled, then it was only those entire provinces (Putin “confirmed”), then it was certain Ukraine would fall quickly...
The best indicator to me is that Kiev has not yet fallen, and the Ukes were ok with concluding the negotiation session yesterday without any urgency, it would seem, to resume quickly.
A big question for me is that 17 mile long Russian convoy headed to Kiev: Will the Ukes get enough Javelins in place in time to disrupt that convoy B4 it gets to Kiev, or will they let it enter the city or encircle it and then try to pick the Russians apart? Are the Russians willing to kill thousands of civilians? How is the newly reconstituted (but still very small) Ukrainian Air Force going to play into this? And survive long?
Indeed. The touching ‘’Mother reads soldier boy’s letter’’.
Classic Russian bs. They love this kind of thing. The maiden who waits for her soldier far away or the mother who mourns.
They’re good at it, clumsy as it seems sometimes.
And what’s up with the mercenaries? If you have an army why do you need to hire paid killers?
The Russians haven't been in a real tank battle since 1945 and those they won by sheer numbers.
Ya hate to see it.
“… Don’t take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don’t take your guns to town.”
And how will they win this time? Sheer numbers. Even going up against those highly experienced Ukrainian tank forces, they win. By the way, how many tank battles have the Ukrainians won since 1945? When your neocon pals are arguing to borrow more trillions to shore up NATO against Russia, I hope someone reminds congress of your brilliant take on this. They haven’t won a tank battle since ‘45, they’re harmless. When’s the last time the Chicoms defeated a state of the art multi trillion dollar navy? Never, they’re harmless too! You better watch out, you’re undercutting your neocon raison d’etre.
Stop believing the propaganda. For one week now you have been fed the exact opposite of everything you and the entire world has believed about the Russian war machine for 70 years. The network talking heads repeat these the obvious Ukrainian lies and your neocon blood gets up. Take a minute and look at everything your neocon leaders have told you about Russian armor prior to 2/22/22. Did you end up with whiplash trying to daily change your take on Covid to agree with the latest obvious lies you were fed for two years? In reality, you have no more idea what’s going on in Ukraine than we knew what was going on in Wuhan January of 2020. You’re being had by the propaganda AGAIN.
It seems odd that the Russian military would allow its troops to freely divulge such information. Usually, messages home are heavily censored to prevent leaking vital information.
Also, how did the Ukrainian government get said confidential information?
