Last month Russia started pushing a false narrative of Ukraine preparing a chemical attack (they are not). This fake news being pushed by Russia’s main media outlets also recently accused US and Britain of helping.
Now it looks like Russia is the one unian.info/war/10394961-r…

This was one of the most recent lies being pushed by Russia

This was the original date this false narrative began. Right around the time Russia attacked Ukraine in Azov and took Ukrainian sailors as hostages. We all have seen Russia project like this in Syria giving cover to Assad
When I first saw this narrative I wasn’t sure if Russia was laying grounds for an attack on Ukraine or something worse
Just for perspective!

Few points on Montenegro @JoyAnnReid

Manafort worked in Montenegro over a decade ago for Deripaska(Kremlin)

Putin orchestrated a plot to assassinate PM of Montenegro

Trump parroting Putins talking points on Montenegro and everything else is in line w his loyalty to the Kremlin
Besides Trump and his family have made the majority of their money over the past 4 decades w Russian mafia (closely aligned w Russian intel) and Russian oligarchs. And no it’s not for a Trump tower deal but more for helping them launder money among other things
Trump has been pushing Kremlin talking points since his trip to Moscow in 1987. Trump back then wanted a US-Soviet post to solve the nuclear issue and also had an extremely weird obsession w Gorbachev. Then something very quickly changed in and Trump started attacking Gorbachev

Russia and Iran are engaged in disinformation campaigns aimed at US citizens. Twitter just released over 10 million tweets from over 4500 Russian and Iranian accounts engaged in influence operations dating back to 2009. We've analyzed the data. Here's what you need to know...
Russia's influence operations are far-reaching, aimed at a number of countries. This, of course, includes ops aimed at US voters in 2016, but also includes their own people. 58 Russian-language accounts tweeted regional "news" related to Crimea, Syria, and other military action.
44 US-directed local "news" accounts amassed over half a million followers. By using local-sounding news source names, they were able to dupe Americans from *other* regions to share what they thought was authentic news.

Politico, the media outlet of choice for flacks and hacks, has declared that Ron DeSantis, the conservative Republican running for Governor of Florida, against the media’s favorite new socialist, suffered his “fifth race-related” controversy.
That fifth “controversy” is about something that somebody who isn’t DeSantis tweeted.

The fourth controversy also involved a DeSantis donor.

So it seems #Idlib ops (divided into 3 stages) has been moved for a further date, giving me enough time to close the Iraqi news and return to #Syria, soon.
#Turkey failed to integrate al-Nusra, aka Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham, within rebels army (it might succeed at a certain point); failed to isolate al-Qaeda (Hurras el-Deen) & foreign fighters, incl Chinese Uyghur jihadists. So Erdogan turned against the #EU

#Russia refused any negotiation over Jihadists in #Idlib and insisted on Turkey to fulfil its promises or stand down.

Putin is expected to give Erdogan more time by clearing rural Lattakia, rural Hama, rural Aleppo and leave the city of Idlib last.

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?

3.What's next for us?The most dangerous line of the confrontation is in #Syria.
