Sounds like something the US would do.

[xanderthegreat]

Russia taking a play out of the US play book

I don't want any war or just another unjustified war like those in the past.. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and should be seen as such (signed the Budapest Memorandum 1994) every country has a right to self determination and a right to defend itself from aggression from hostile external threats. Ukrainians obviously has nerves of steel. All of their volunteers, defending their country, I'm hoping they don't have too.

We shall see. I can remember a certain nation did the same to Poland back in the days.

How come Putin doesnt call out the US on all its false flags? Never understood politics. Way too confusing

[bambamkitring]

If NATO leave Russian border. I believe Putin will calm down. Problem solved..

Matt Lee from the AP actually did journalism on this and ask Ned Price for any kind of proof other than just “believe me we know” and Price had NOTHING😂😂

[knowledgeable]

Politicians and governments are always playing with the lives of ordinary people. Ordinary people mean nothing to them. They are in their little games and they care about power and career.

[senaaaa]

i don´t think the US can go forward with this attitude. Nobody believe it anymore....

[SYN]

why US politacians & media was so sure that this would happen?! and the Russians did exactly what they were expecting?!

[wirhabenplatz]

our federal chancellor olaf scholz will never help ukrain. we stand by russia not only because of the gas we get, in case of war we can only win and get our old areas back without doing anything and for a ridiculously low price, so why should we break this just so ukraine can last a day or two longer?

[senaaaa]

just another accusation...even i start to ignore it.

[luccifero]

Come on lol if there's anyone pulling off a false flag op we all know it's who.

[IldarIsm]

Does the building #7 of World Trade Center stand still untouched?

[jaymo]

they don’t mind killing innocent people either during these “acts”… “the world is but a play”

[tortoiseshell]

We all know where they got that western military equipment 😬
