There are all these tweets on American Twitter accounts about the Ukraine, getting boosted, and they all seem fake.
Does this look real?

Why is the Russian soldier’s face blurred?
This looks like an art project.

Ukrainian military is pushing back Russian tanks?

Yeah, okay.
Well, I do want to believe in this one.

Okay, sure, bud.
This is an old photo.
eternal glory to the heroes of Snake Island (#ZmiinyiOstriv)

All reports are Russia holds Snake Island already. But the media is telling some hero story about how they gave their lives fighting. Fake story.
Americans and Israelis are posting months old photos of Zelensky, claiming he is personally fighting in the trenches – no joke.
This is the President of Ukraine Zelensky.
He took off his clothes and put on a military uniform to join the troops in fighting to protect the Ukrainian homeland. He is a true leader. #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/d7cwu3WWyS

An old man’s car was run over by a tank for no reason?

That car wasn’t run over by a tank, I can tell you that.
Lots of these “hero sacrifice” stories.
Vitaly Skakun is a hero after sacrificing his life to blow up the Henichesky Bridge.
The bridge was mined but a Russian column was advancing and there was no time to detonate it remotely.
Skakun radioed his unit and told them he would do it manually, saying goodbye. #Ukraine pic.twitter.com/jeU2tBse2h

Ukrainians lining up to die for no reason in a war that’s already lost?

Exactly, the queue at the military enlistment office. Here they are, true patriots. pic.twitter.com/dH7EhN4BxF— veysel midilli (@veyselmidilli3) February 25, 2022
Nope. Don’t believe.
I do believe they’re standing in line to get free guns that they’re going to go sell on the black market.
18,000 assault rifles and the corresponding ammunition load have already been distributed in #Kyiv – Head of the Ministry of Defense of #Ukraine.

There is all of this stuff making it look like:
- Ukraine is really fighting hard and winning the war, and
- Russia is bombing and otherwise killing innocent people on purpose because they are evil
Neither of those things are true on their face, but there are endless astroturfed tweets, clearly from America, pushing both things.
This looks real though.

Also, I believe Kiev (Key-ev) is empty.

Can also believe Westernized Jewkraine trash is making kids wear masks in bomb shelters.

The real threat isn’t the bombs – it’s coronavirus.
And this might be real.
