Russia’s use of sustained artillery fires on entrenched Ukrainian troops in places like Bakhmut and Soledar is taking a toll that is being counted in the thousands. It appears that for every single Russian casualty there are 10 Ukrainians killed or wounded. Take a look at this letter notifying prospective patients who had planned elective surgery in Kiev to stay home (at link):
Scheduled hospital admissions have been halted in Kiev since 2 December on the orders of the Kiev administration. The reason is the huge number of wounded coming from Bakhmut.
According to an eyewitness, a journalist for the major Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, more than 100 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers are being admitted to one hospital evacuation point alone.
Yep, Larry Johnson is best known for his lies:
1-He is best known for spreading a hoax in 2008 that Republican operatives had a videotape of Michelle Obama complaining about “whitey”.
2-In March 2017, Andrew Napolitano spread the unfounded conspiracy theory that GCHQ, one of Britain’s top intelligence agencies, had wiretapped Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign on orders from President Obama. LARRYJOHNSON was the source for Napolitano’s claim.
3. In 2013, JOHNSON FALSELY ACCUSED John Kerry of war crimes in Vietnam, alleging that Kerry had “raped some poor Vietnamese woman.” To support his claim, JOHNSON used a YouTube video that contained audio clips from a 1971 debate on The Dick Cavett Show between John Kerry and John O’Neill.
The original interview audio was ALTERED to piece together words that Kerry spoke at different times during the debate, falsely making it sound as if he said, “I personally raped for pleasure.” When the falsehood was exposed by a reader of Johnson’s blog, JOHNSON DELETED the article without apology.
*In the late 1990s-early 2000s, Johnson DE-EMPHASIZED the threat stemming from terrorism.
