Remember too that the night of the orange thingie in Ukraine, there was a post here saying that tanks were headed from Russia to Ukraine. I don't think one poster even questioned it, for at least several pages.
It was just accepted that Putin was now going to try to take over Ukraine. I can remember how hard I was laughing, but it is really sad, I guess.

It's good to have you here with us, Gary. Ignorance is a terrible thing.

Ukie was the one who posted the nonsense about Russian tanks coming from Southern Ukraine headed towards Kiev. It doesn't take too much intelligence to see that Russia is a long ways from Kiev, and clearly is not south of it.
Furthermore, Ukie posted the nonsense about 1,000 Russian Spetsnaz landing at the airport outside of Kiev. Granted it was in a newspaper article. However, there would have been a major outcry from the world community if that were true. Have you heard one word about that since then? Clearly the Opposition was using propaganda to play on fear to strengthen their position, and many Freepers have bought into this nonsense.
