The Ukrainian government, including Zelensky, *lied* about Russians critically damaging the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in a way that caused radiation levels to rise, which they used to justify getting US/NATO involved.

The Ukrainian government is actively trying to start WWIII.

I'm not pro Russia, I'm not pro Ukraine, but lying like this is irresponsible and despicable because Ukrainian officials know Western media will just repeat whatever they say.

I don't care that Ukraine’s government and Zelensky have been sanctified by the media and morons in both parties--they're a threat to the United States at this point and any other country they try to emotionally blackmail and morally manipulate into escalating this conflict.

Zelensky is a bad actor, literally and figuratively.

He doesn't care about Ukrainian civilians and he doesn't care about getting people killed in general. If he did, he wouldn't lie like this and he wouldn't let his officials lie like this.

AP:

"U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm tweeted that the Zaporizhzhia plant’s reactors were protected by robust containment structures and were being safely shut down."

Reuters/Ukraine's energy minister:

"We have seen no elevated radiation readings near the facility."

Blue checks deliberately sharing Ukrainian propaganda like its gospel should be considered traitors because it is geared directly toward getting us involved in a foreign war on behalf of another government.

Reuters/plant spokesman:

"Background radiation levels remain unchanged"

"Separately, RIA quoted Ukraine’s emergency service as saying that the fire was outside the station perimeter and one of the blocks at the station had been switched off."

If Zelensky and his government had warned that the plant was at risk, that if shelling did not stop it could have problems—which is totally reasonable—that would have been different.

What they said was that catastrophe was at hand and the solution was starting WWIII.

Zelensky deliberately lied. The consequences of his lies could have killed millions.

People think I'm exaggerating about Zelensky lying.

Here is what he said according to Korrespondent, one of the biggest publications in Ukraine:

It wasn't just a lie--it was a batshit crazy lie with the express purpose of getting us into a bigger war.

This insane and inexcusable from Zelensky and criminally irresponsible by the media. This is, ironically, a threat to our national security.
