It’s funny how not so long ago if someone called out ‘disinformation’ they’d be labelled as a foilhatter. Yet here we are, now having Twitter as a source of credibility.

Fwiw, she’s absolutely bang on imo. What’s more interesting and worrying is those that think the west, in particular the US, haven’t been playing the same disinformation game. There’s also plenty of evidence to show that the US have been destabilising countries for decades but we’re to believe it’s only Russia that does it.

This brings one major problem….who the hell do you believe?🤷🏻‍♂️

Been clear to me for years that Russia has invested in cyber war and with the possible exception of China been pre-eminent in it. Abetted by governments like ours too stupid to even consider it a possibility let alone actually arm ourselves for that conflict.

But you're right in that America have done the same for decades as have we. Empires do imperial things, not to br wondered at really. People only tend to see them as wrong if it's someone else doing it.

Russia has invaded a sovereign land for 4 days so far.

Britain and America and several other countries occupied multiple sovereign nations over the past decades, killed thousands of civilians, imposed governments, removed others leading to power vacuums that created ISIS then abandoned them when they asked us to stay.

International politics is diabolical.

They might as well rejoin the USSR for all the independence they’re showing.

That thing you see when Putin opens his mouth is the top of Lukashenko’s head. Disgraceful, providing a new platform for nukes in the middle of a war zone.

Belarus lost its political independence following the anti-regime protests, and then the Ryan forced landing controversy, which led Lukashenko to have to capitulate to Putin to save his regime.

Before that he was a mediator in the previous Ukraine crises, hence the agreement was called "Minsk".
