The old adage that truth is the first casualty of war still holds true today as does the saying that if you tell a lie often enough (and big enough) eventually people will believe it to be true!

One must wonder if the Russia-Ukraine war is even a proper 'war' at all.

I've seen too many videos of singular buildings being damaged - but they were seemingly set-up and 'damaged' so very evenly. In fact it was after a news story of a bombed school building that got me thinking about this. The building was too uniformly damaged. The scene was artistic. It was almost perfectly damaged, Hollywood-style, even. Then there was a building (a block of flats?) - the centre of it looked like it had been imploded: again, very uniformly. And the other parts of it were just fine and dandy. No burn marks. Nothing like that. Just like a construction demolition site. And the pics/video we got on the news JUST showed that building. No landscape. Nothing else. Now it doesn't happen like that all the time in war. We are shown landscapes & cityscapes and more than just ONE building being damaged. So I started digging.

Things that we are being fed on the media are not like what would happen if they'd actually been bombed and trashed in war. Go back to WW1/WW2: buildings and whole areas were utterly decimated. The cityscapes were awash with fires and carnage. In the videos & photos we are allowed to see of this Russia-Ukraine 'war', it's just ONE building being damaged, or a certain section. Never the whole cityscape. And if you're lucky enough to see maybe half a suburb in the distance in a video, there's not smoke rising everywhere. It's just a very 'local' event. And the 'damage' is always so precise. So very even. Like someone's taken time to set it all up. Like they would in a movie.

And the Ukrainians that are left there? They just mill about, and get on with things. They're not fleeing for their lives or anything. They don't even seem bothered per se as the tanks trundle down the street. In war, do people do this? Mill about and watch the tanks - or flee & hide? One could think their lives are NOT in danger by how they act. And I think that is very telling. If there's one thing we should all have learned these past 3 years, it's that you can't believe much that is on the MSM!!!

Your twitter video of the lone tank blasted is in a nice green field where nothing else seems to have been damaged. Just that very spot. Everything else in the landscape looks like a lovely farm. A nice flat area perfect for growing things, with fields that have recently been ploughed and seeded. It's almost like this scene was set up...specifically for the purpose of...trashing a tank.

I guess it's easy to set up all these scenes when most people have have been transported out of the cities.

I watched a very interesting youtube video of a man who travelled to the Ukraine to find out (he went in via Poland), and everything seemed a set-up. And every time he videoed for a few minutes, a policeman/guard came out of nowhere and stopped him filming. So he had to pretend he was walking along just talking on his phone whilst secretly filming. Funnily enough I cannot find that video online now...

Call me cynical, but I think this Russia-Ukraine 'war' is a complete load of BS, created by some loonies so that we will conform to more economic doom & gloom. After all, the area IS a major food bowl.
