Invasion day 3

• All the photos of the President in gear are from a border photo shoot he did in 2021. 
• Influencers posing on social media and going viral holding fucking airsoft guns. 
• The Ghost of Kyiv fighter footage is from a video game and no one can provide proof the pilot even exists. 
• Reports that an island with Ukraine soldiers on it flipped off the Russians, refused to surrender, and were then executed turned out false, they in fact surrendered and were captured alive.
• Multiple mainstream corporate news outlets have shared footage of various "bombings in Ukraine by the Russians" which turned out to be footage from factory explosions in China from years ago or other old international footage. 
• Photographs posted of Ukrainians kneeling and praying before going off to fight the Russians turned out to be photos from a Christian photographer in a completely different country. 
• Mainstream media outlets have recently claimed that the cause of inflation and other economic disruptions are in fact because of the conflict in Ukraine and that it deserves our full attention.
• Not a single mainstream outlet bothers to talk about WHY there is so much conflict over Ukraine - they don't acknowledge that not even 10 years ago the US supported a coup there and the subsequent election just happened to choose a pro-West, pro-NATO President who is now saying this crisis is an immediate reason to admit Ukraine into NATO and the EU. 

If a person is trusting any of the details the news has been putting out over the last week they're not paying attention at all. This is the fog of war. All we know is that there is some type of conflict going on and Russia appears to be the aggressor. Beyond that I have a hard time believing what either side is saying, especially the one that's in the midst of completely dropping the Covid narrative and metrics tracking while pushing us all to move on to this new shiny news cycle. Yes this is a real crisis, but it is a European crisis first and foremost, and it is troubling just how in favor the majority of the US political establishment is for us to get further involved.

I don't think that Russia invading is some conspiracy, but I do think that the powers that be are unquestionably about to turn things around to focus on this new threat to Europe and make people forget what's gone on the last 2 years. Everyone seems to have just stopped talking about the tyrant in Canada that activated emergency power overrides - that weren't even used during 9/11 - on basic constitutional liberties in order to crush a peaceful protest that had gone on for less than a month. He is about to be sued by multiple premiers and suddenly the news cycle has dropped everything. This is the big shiny ball the establishment is going to use to make sure they don't get absolutely roasted for how Covid has been handled. War unites all.
