Day 19 of the #US - #Russia war on #Ukrainian soil:

In over dozens of wars I have covered, I have never seen so much disinformation campaign, speculation and false narratives from "experts" producing so much information with no access of any fact whatsoever of the ground.

This is how it is working:
Brainwash everybody with an avalanche of information so you sound like an expert and get thousands of followers a day and become "the expert" on "#Russia weakness and incapability to occupy #Ukraine in one single day".

An example of the narrative:
1. " #Russia failed to occupy #Kyiv in two days."
A country, #Ukraine, with over 600k km2, bigger than France, Belgium and Hollande together; or bigger than #Syria and #Iraq, should have been occupied in two days according to experts.

And after starting with this hypothesis of "failing to occupy #Kyiv in 2 days", everything else is based on the first personal misleading disinformation.
2. "#Russia failed to advance or register any progress on the ground."
Why the Ukrainians are negotiating then?

I can stay here all day writing about hundreds of examples of false narratives and hypotheses "experts" are building upon their narrative, and many according "to US officials" who are the leaders of this false propaganda against #Russia, but won't waist my time and yours.

Bottom line:
1. #Ukraine army has been trained by the #US and #NATO since 2015.
2. US failure to respect its verbal promise to keep NATO away from the former Soviet Union countries is behind US-Russia clash. Surf the net decades back and you'll find all the warnings since 1997.

3. The #US has been provoking #Russia to a fight in a third country (Georgia and Ukraine) and supplying weapons to Ukraine after studying the kind of war Russia could start and which forces it can inject into the battle.

4. #US and #NATO supply #Ukraine with adequate weapons to keep #Russia the longest possible in the country by mounting guerrilla warfare with anti-tank missiles. Normal because Ukrainian airforce and military capability as a classical army were defeated from day two.

5. #Russia used gloves in the 1st weeks of this war on many fronts, not on others, & reached #Kyiv in 2 days when the #US &coalition needed 21 days to occupy #Iraq, a country with no support, under heavy sanctions, no resources, no friends & people supported Saddam Hussein's fall

6. Because the US objective to break #Russia's prestige regardless of the number of #Ukranian killed, #Moscow is changing its military tactics & starting different tactics to compensate it 1st softer one.
7. Still Russia prefers to end this war negotiating w/minimum losses to all

8. If #Ukraine leadership has lost the control over their decision that has been totally under the US's thumb (as #Afghanistan president self-description of how he has become before being abandoned by the US), then the war will continue and more people will be killed.

9. Why I spoke, and continue speaking, from day one about the false narrative? Because it is a déja vu in other wars triggered by the #US in other parts of the world where mainstream media stands behind the misinformation campaign and loses its credibility. Nothing new really.

Many people r lazy, unwilling to look for the reality & find it difficult to understand what triggered this war coz everybody is saying "Putin has gone mad". So it is easy to whitewash the #US role and not ask:
Why does Europe need NATO expansion?
Why EU needs nuclear bombs?

Having an army (NATO) w/ $2.3 bn budget paid by many nations is having an #US-led army in #EU equipped w/ nuclear to challenge EU states calling for their independence & #Russia if challenging the US hegemony. That is what this war on #Ukraine soil is about and nothing else.

#Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko imposed a new curfew in the Capital from 8 p.m. on March 15 until 7 a.m. on March 17 (36 hours). Residents will only be allowed to head to bomb shelters.

The consequences of #US- #Russia war on #Ukraine:

The beginning of the end of dollarisation and people think "Russia is losing". Yes, on Twitter.

#SaudiArabia discussing with #China the use of #Yuan in its commercial and energy trade.

The world should note:
30 #US-financed military biological labs in #Ukraine and the US is refusing international control over these secret labs that Washington is afraid that #Russia controls.

#US President @JoeBiden signed a $13.5 billion aid package for military and security aid (not to support the American economy) so he can continue fighting for the US hegemony against #Russia in #Ukraine. How many Ukrainians are expected to be killed for Biden to stop his war?
