State Dept. urges embassies not to retweet Russian ‘war crime’ post: reports

The US State Department is urging US embassies across Europe to not repost a tweet from the US Embassy in Kyiv which called Russia’s attack on a nuclear plant “a war crime,” according to multiple reports.

An internal message obtained by NBC News and CNN revealed the Department is urgently urging the embassies to avoid sharing language posted by the Kyiv envoy, or delete their post if they already have.

“All – do not/not retweet Embassy Kyiv’s tweet on shelling of the facility being a possible war crime” the message reportedly reads. “If you have retweeted it – un-retweet it ASAP.”

The warning comes just hours after the Kyiv embassy tweeted in response to the overnight Russian assault on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest facility of its kind in Europe.

“It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant. Putin’s shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear plant takes his reign of terror one step further. #TheHague #Zaporizhzhia #StandwithUkraine,” the embassy’s official Twitter account posted.

As if any sentient being believes anything coming out of our joke of a “state” department.

Elvis left that building when Dorkbama shat upon it with his clown show...which continues today with many of the same perps.

It was an unauthorized statement by someone lacking the competence to make it. And it sets a precedent for punishing Israel for knocking out islamic reactors used for making bombs.

So if you are anti-Israel pro Muslim, jump right on board.

By the way - the Embassy there doesn’t appear to have a US Ambassador running the place.

Because now they are supposedly saying that the Russians did NOT attack the plant..my guess either a false flag or it was the Chechens

““It is a war crime to attack a nuclear power plant.”

No, it’s not.

Doubly so in this case as no impact to operations has occurred.

Lol

The cartel’s little scheme has gotten out of hand.

They’re trying to reign it in.

Putin and Biden are both demented in their own ways and weak leaders.

Ukraine guy isn’t even a leader, he’s an actor playing a president, literally.

I concur with your assessment, additionally we may at some point have to take out some Irian facilities in the future.

Don’t retweet our tweet. Really. Please don’t. Tell everyone you know not to even read it, much less pass it along. That is all.

They are probably concerned that if we pursue war crime charges against Russia then they will do the same against us.

Because that little lie was a bridge too far? Some office buildings got shot up by incompetence from trigger happy Russ.

The war crime was the attack on the Human Resources Building.

Nothing must interfere with the Holy Writ of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

What would you expect from a bunch of lying crapweasels like Blinken.

To them, the faster Ukraine folds the better, so they can get back to 'business as usual,' surrendering to Iran and Russia in Vienna.
