The 14 biggest lies your government is telling about the war in Ukraine

1. “Ukraine is a democracy”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky banned all opposition parties and outlawed the use of Russian as a second state language.

Why did he break his 2019 campaign promise to end the genocidal murder of thousands in Donbas, even though they voted for him? Did he lie because neo-Nazis threatened to kill him if he didn’t do what they wanted? Or is he afraid of the CIA, which has assassinated other leaders and made him their puppet? Should we trust the judgment of a man who demands a no-fly zone that could trigger a global nuclear holocaust? Zelensky has overseen the torture and murder of political dissidents.
2. “National sovereignty is sacred”
When Idi Amin committed genocide in Uganda, the UN violated Ugandan sovereignty to stop it. When Ukraine committed genocide in Donbas and planned to escalate, Russia stopped it. The US violated Cuba’s sovereignty to bring the planet to the brink of nuclear holocaust. The US has violated many sovereignties in recent wars, killing millions. But given Ukraine’s genocide of a national minority, “Ukraine’s sovereignty must be respected.”
3. “Putin is a war criminal”
If he is a war criminal for causing the deaths of civilians, what do we call Ukraine, which has killed 14,000 civilians in Donbas since 2014?
Is someone calling Zelensky a war criminal? US killing millions in other recent wars is hundreds of times worse. Calling Putin a war criminal prevented Biden from negotiating with him with the excuse “you can’t talk to war criminals.” That makes it very difficult to stop this war.
Apparently the US wants this war to continue until the last Ukrainian. The Rand Corporation’s plan is to “swamp” Russia just as the US bankrupted the USSR by unleashing Al Qaeda opposition in Afghanistan.
4. “The world condemns Russia's invasion”
In fact, most of the world does not, including China, India, most of Africa, Israel, half of Latin America, and many others. The two largest political parties in Russia are not against Russia's invasion, the second largest party is the Communist Party.
5. “Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons”
Russia Follows U.S. Policy On March 22, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia would use nuclear weapons only if its very existence was threatened, Tassnews reported.
Russia had a “no first use” policy until the U.S. refused to do the same, so Russia dropped it. U.S. presidents have threatened to use nuclear weapons against countries that posed no threat to the U.S. several times since the end of World War II.
6. “With his back against the wall, Putin will resort to chemical warfare, just like in Syria”
Russia has not used chemical weapons in Syria. Russia has negotiated the destruction or removal of the Syrian stockpiles. The chemical attacks in Syria were carried out by rebels backed by Saudi Arabia and the US.
If anyone has their backs to the wall, it is the Ukrainians and the neo-Nazis, who are trained in false flag tactics by the CIA. As in Syria, the US media is falsely blaming the Russians without any evidence. As in Syria, any chemicals released in Ukraine will likely be the work of Russia's opponents to blame Russia.
The US gave Iraq chemical weapons, which killed thousands of Kurds and Iranians in 1982-83 before the stockpiles were destroyed by Iraq. The US is the chemical killer, not Russia that prevented it. History is full of US false flags.
7. “Putin may resort to biological warfare”
Although this accusation was promoted by the media in the second week of March, since the embarrassing revelation that the Pentagon had funded bio-labs in Ukraine, the media has not said anything about it since.
First, the US reported that dangerous specimens had to be destroyed so they would not fall into Russian hands; later, it was reported that the specimens were not dangerous at all, so as not to incriminate the US.
Which was it? Any false-flag release of pathogens by Ukraine to blame Russia is now likely ruled out. The Pentagon is guilty of funding “gain-of-function” virus research in China after it was banned in the US, implying a possible lab release of COVID-19. The US is the biokiller that used a US military strain of anthrax in October 2001, not Russia.
8. “Russia targets civilians in Ukraine”
According to Newsweek, “Putin is not deliberately targeting civilians… Over the course of nearly four weeks, the missiles fired at Kiev have been sparse… The destruction is a tiny fraction of what is possible.”
The alleged massacre of civilians in Butcha, which led Biden to accuse Putin of war crimes, was perpetrated by Ukrainians who “cleansed” the city of suspected collaborators after Russian troops had left days earlier.
9. “Russia will carry out false flag attacks”
There is no evidence that Russia attacked targets and blamed Ukraine. On the contrary, seven days before the Russian invasion, the OSCE monitoring mission provided evidence of a Ukrainian false flag attack on a kindergarten to blame Donbas separatists.
There were no fatalities, but Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk increased a hundredfold over the next four days, prompting Russia to intervene to stop it. The attacks on a maternity ward, apartments, and a concert hall may have been false flag attacks, staged events, or situations in which civilians were taken hostage by fighters. Ukrainian snipers were reported to have fired from a maternity ward. Mariupol residents who came out testified that Ukrainian fighters prevented civilians from escaping through the humanitarian corridor, using them as human shields.
10. “If Putin wins in Ukraine, he will attack NATO countries next”
This is simply ridiculous, because Russia is already overextended and unable to attack anyone. Russia also does not want nuclear war. Russia’s goal is to protect Donbas, get Crimea recognized, denazify Ukraine, and prevent nuclear missiles from reaching Russia’s borders. By exaggerating Putin’s goals instead of negotiating them, the West is prolonging the war and causing the destruction of Ukraine.
Russian soldiers were ordered to “guard and control” these plants to prevent accidental or intentional damage. Photos showed the Ukrainians firing the first shot, destroying a Russian tank, which was then returned by a second tank. A training building was damaged in the exchange. The fires were not near the reactors. The electricity for cooling was never turned off. But the hype was spun to frighten Europe into intervening in the war in Ukraine.
11. “Russia's invasion threatens the entire world”
If Russia can prevent US nuclear missiles from being deployed in Ukraine a seven-minute flight from Moscow, Russia will be doing humanity a great service. Just as US stationary ICBM missiles are on razor-sharp alert with “launch them or lose them” orders with no possibility of cancellation after launch, missiles in Ukraine would increase the likelihood of an accident or miscalculation with little warning time to verify.
Doomsday would be brewing. That should terrify everyone. India had an accidental missile launch in March that landed in nuclear-armed Pakistan without a warhead. [15] Putin warned in 2019 that any incoming missile would be assumed to be nuclear, so Russia would have to launch a retaliatory missile before it hit, lest Russia’s deterrent be destroyed.
12. “The US has a “free press”, while Russia's news is controlled”
The news channels in the US are owned by the billionaire oligarchs of Wall Street who give the so-called journalists the script to report, making the TV reporters paid actors who know where their bread comes from. The American media has proven to be more dangerous and belligerent than the Pentagon, as shown in previous American wars (Vietnam, Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Yemen, Afghanistan).
Now these billionaires are censoring social media so that we are censored from doing personal research. The US has shut down Russian media like Tass and Russia Today (RT) to prevent Americans from hearing the other side and deciding for themselves who is lying and who is telling the truth. What are the US afraid of when they tell the truth? According to Carl Bernstein, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, the CIA has seized The New York Times and The Washington Post.
13. “Russia plans cyber attacks on the US”
“Russia remains open to dialogue and cooperation on information security with all countries, and the United States is no exception,” Kremlin official Andrei Krutskikh told Newsweek. “Moscow’s vision for such a multilateral cyber regime includes a set of commitments not to use ICT as a weapon.” One potentially important meeting came in April, when Krutskikh sought cooperation with Washington on digital issues.
The numbers are exaggerated like all other exaggerations by Ukraine to get NATO into the war. All child deaths are accidents, unlike the deliberate killings of children by the US and Israel. When Madeleine Albright was asked if the half million children who died of hunger in Iraq because of US sanctions were worth it, she said “yes.” During Israel’s 2014 “Operation Protective Edge,” Israeli forces killed 2,200 Palestinians, more than 80% of them civilians, and almost a quarter of them children.
14. “Russia may use tactical nuclear weapons”
Russia could have flattened Kiev with conventional explosives but didn't, so why would they use nuclear weapons?
