Russian Rhetoric Ahead of Attack Against Ukraine: Deny, Deflect, Mislead
https://www.factcheck.org/2022/02/russian-rhetoric-ahead-of-attack-against-ukraine-deny-deflect-mislead/ ^

As Russia amassed troops on the Ukrainian border, Russian President Vladimir Putin, his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, and other Russian officials repeatedly denied that their country had plans to invade Ukraine. They blamed the U.S., Ukraine and others for the tension, insisting that Russia is a “peaceful country” and that it is “not going to attack anyone.”

That, of course, was proven false when Russia launched a full-scale invasion against Ukraine on Feb. 24 — two days after Russian tanks rolled into eastern Ukraine on a “peace-keeping” mission.

And now... we are supposed to believe Russia when some of them say they “did not” blow up the dam - because Russia is a “peaceful country”!? Right??

Putin, do you really think Americans are a bunch of naive gullible people!?
We don’t believe you anymore. We’re done.

What was the old joke? How can you tell when a Russian is lying? His lips are moving.

Believe all the same lying scumbags that are destroying America everyday. Ukraine isn't corrupt. They didn't kill 14,000 Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens before the war. They would never blow a dam up or a pipeline. Trust Zelensky, trust Biden and trust the deep state.

The Ukies who were occupying Kherson have been playing catch with Russian artillery for MONTHS.

The Ukie high command [less Zaluzhny] needed their cannon fodder occupying Kherson city over in the Zaporozhye line, so they blew the dam - just like they'd been publicly planning to do.

I'll bet those poor suckers in Kherson city got The Warm Fuzzies when they got the order to load the transports. The feeling was probably similar to the one they got when they were first press-ganged.

“Posted on February 24, 2022”

Exactly. That’s why I posted this reminder. Putin lied back then, in a MASSIVE way, and started a whole crazy war. So why wouldn’t he continue to lie now about the dam? The whole point is that Kremlinists lie like mad men, totally unhinged, and universes away from reality.

Thanks for noting.

The conflict started well before 2022. But, go ahead and be a nice little stooge supporting Biden's war.

“The Ukies who were occupying Kherson”

>>>>>>>

What you said above is like saying “Americans are occupying Houston” ! :)
Well of course. Houston is American. So sing the word “occupying” sounds weird.

Ukrainians are In Kherson because Kherson is inside Ukraine. It’s an Ukraininan town.

Actually, Kherson city is in Kherson Oblast, part of the Russian Federation.

So there's that.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said recently that 350,000 Ukrainians have died in this war.

I’m sure this includes many of the descendants of those who fought for Nazi Germany.

Some probably think they deserve to die for the evil deeds of their forbearers during World War II I just think it’s very sad.

You are right its started with little Russian “green men” in 2014 when they invaded Crimea. Crimea is part of Ukraine. You remember now? Good.

But, go ahead and be a nice little stooge supporting Putin’s War against our allies.

How can tell when a Ukrainian is dying? Any time he charges in futility towards the Russian lines.

Isn’t it time for the dying to stop the US is wasting Ukrainian lives to achieve regime change in Russia?

Wrong, Kherson City is part of Ukraine.
But I believe you also believe 2+2=5.
You should read the book 1984. It’s the world Putin is building for you.

You are deflecting.
Did Russia invade Ukraine? Yes or no ?
If you say “no” I will not be able to help you. Good luck.
