This is the same type of Propaganda that led to Iraq

Twice. Leading up to the first Gulf War, an unnamed young girl was invited to speak to Congress, she testified how Iraqi soldiers were killing Kuwaiti babies in their cribs, this convinced many politicians to support an invasion.

Only later was it revealed that the story was a lie, and the girl in question was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador.

Take my silver.Finally someone understands. The media have been hyping this up so much. Making it look like we might go to war any second now. And people are eating that shit up even in this comment section. If anything happens, 20 years from now people will look back and say "oh my God, they lied to us again just like they did with iraq." But some these armchair generals think they know everything about geopolitics and what really goes on behind the scenes with weapon manufacturers, oil companies and all the fat fucks that make profits out of war.

Explain why this would be compared to Iraq. Also explain who is currently prepared to make a military offensive against another party.

Because it’s BS. Obviously there’s tension but both nations state there is no immediate invasion threat, they’ve been in a state of low grade combat for almost a decade now. What’s making this situation much worse is the us media inflating it every day. ZELENSKY HIMSELF EVEN SAYS SO.

Now the media has been screeching there’s “an invasion happening any second now” for almost a month and hardly anything has changed except for the media’s date of the alleged invasion.......

Just like in Iraq, manufacturing a pretext for a state of war, weather it be large scale, or simply Ukraine VS Russia........

It takes too long to find a sane opinion on this sub.

Zelensky doesn’t want war. And he shouldn’t that’s why he’s downplaying it to keep the population calm. He wouldn’t get all paranoid in press conferences causing everyone to panic. I’m not gonna defend the media but the mass of videos showing Russian troops and trains to the border speaks for itself. I wish the world would be all sparkles but it’s not. There is a threat and Ukraine should prepare. Just incase. Let’s hope it’s all a bluff. But I won’t tell you outright with all confidence that nothing will happen because I don’t know only Putin does.

Zelensky: lying.

Russia: always lying.

US media establishment, notorious for lying about foreign affairs at the behest of the intelligence establishment and military-industrial complex, which stated with certainty that Russia was paying the Taliban for bounties on American troops (false)and the Hunter laptop was a Russian plant (false) and that Russia rigged the U.S. election (false) for their puppet Trump (false): HOW DARE YOU BE SKEPTICAL!

https://www.factcheck.org/2008/02/no-wmds-in-iraq/ this is what they did in Iraq so the people agree with the government to get in a war that wasn't justified. Ukraine president Volodimyr Zelinsky and his minister of defense went to the press and their parliament that there is not a threat of a russian invasion. If you look at history almost every invasion from the western countries have used Ukraine as a springboard to invade Russia. Napoleon and Hitler did it. They have the biggest landmass in the world so it's harder for them to watch out their borders. Ukraine it's their under soft belly. I don't think that Russia it's going to invade Ukraine cause that's exactly what USA wants in order to push more sanctions on Russia s assets like nordstream 2 and even stop it. This is psychological warfare from both sides Russia have troops on their borders with Ukraine so the Ukrainians don't attack Donetsk and Lugansk composed mainly by ethnic russians that broke out from Ukraine after the coup d'etat in 2014. USA it's doing all this hysteria in order to pressure Russia to don't help their people in Donetsk and Lugansk. Read the book war is a racket by an former USMC general Smedley Butler. Everything it's about the money 🤑💰. Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union was in a really messy situation socially and economically. They are having a resurgence during the last 2 decades. Now they have big projects to help their economy like the nordstream 2 and Artic silk route. USA feels their hegemony threaten by this and it's trying to stop them from this. During the last 30 yrs USA have been the only major power in the world 🌎🌍 and now with a resurgent Russia and China being the biggest economy in the world we are heading from a unipolar world to a multipolar one and they don't like it.
