Are We Being Lied To When It Comes to The Russia - Ukraine War?

Michael Tracey, Newsweek: The Government Keeps Lying to Us About Ukraine. Where Is the Outrage? | Opinion 

On June 4, a group referring to itself as the "Polish Volunteer Corps" issued a boastful announcement confirming its participation in a series of cross-border ground offensives into Russia. News of these audacious raids was jarring enough, given the many prior assurances of U.S. and Ukrainian war planners, who insisted no attacks would be carried out inside Russian territory. It was all the more conspicuous that the incursion units were apparently comprised of Polish soldiers. 

Poland, of course, is not only a NATO member state, but the NATO member state with which the U.S. has most assiduously aligned itself since Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine (Polish government officials deny any formal connection to the "Polish Volunteer Corps"). So the raids raised an obvious, yet oft-neglected question: Just what the hell is U.S. policy in Ukraine?

WNU Editor: I believe in this cardinal rule. In wartime truth is the first casualty. This war is no different than other past conflicts. 

Needless to say. The above opinion post by Michael Tracey is a must read.

On a personal note. This blog has been covering wars and conflicts for 16 years. But this war has been very difficult to cover. It involves family members, close friends, and two countries that I am intimately familiar with. 

But I also have a lot of experience, background knowledge, contacts, and understanding on what is happening .... on both sides. And it has been quite an experience. All that I can say is that I would say I have been right about half the time. Which is a far better record than the main stream media's coverage and analysis of this war, which has been wrong about 80% (if not more) of the time.

The Biden administration is the Baghdad Bob of war news. Plus they lie habitually on most day to day events.

if you accuse someone of lying then it is incumbent to show where and when and how they lied.
There are needs in war and in itel NOT to make public some things. To believe the govt should make all things available is simply not useful.

But you geniuses have been about 90% wrong.

You all Don't answer questions and don't admit when you are wrong. Pathetic ideologues with no sence of logic.

Also lied about the bombing of Nordstream pipeline. They immediately blamed Russia. Reports this week claim his own CIA knew months before the bombing that Ukraine was planning to blow it up. Lies all the time with a Biden.

It is impossible for these government creatures on either side of this horror to lie to me because I do not believe a word they say. Whatever they push out through their mediums have no effect on me emotionally or logically in any direction. it is just wind.

I will say, it is just interesting to me to be living in these times when long after I die, there will be a lot written about this era.

I am at odds with half my family over Trump and this war against Russia. I think many families in the west are. I sincerely believe this is a war of good vs evil, and that Trump and Russia are on the side of good. I do not understand how a human being can hate another human or another country as much as the liberals and democrats hate Trump and Russia. I listen to my mother on a daily basis wish and hope for the whole Trump family to be killed and Russia be nuked off the planet, despite being a huge fan of the apprentice when it was on television. This has to be the work of evil forces. Can anyone rationalize the sudden animosity and pure hatred of Trump? Can anyone rationalize the incessant need and desire to nuclearly annihilate Russia out of experience?

I know right, he's been wrong about 70% of the time , and more and more has become a Kremlin mouth piece

If you assert someone has lied, then you should show how, and where there is a lie. Simply listing what you call lies is a child's game.example: you say I lie about my wealth. You lie. I am a billionaire. see: now am I lying or or not?

You are right. There is a war going on. A spiritual war. A cultural war. And as predicted in the Bible, the world will become more disorganized and evil to the point of destruction. Then the anti Christ will appear to deliver mankind from itself. But his real aim will to be to enslave us all. In the God will send Jesus back to free us from this doom.
So
Good is losing the battle? Yes it is The West has become the Debauched Wiemar Republic of the 1920s.
Russia and orthodoxy has become the lasrpt bastion of Christianity. That is why the Neocons in the west want.
Russia destroyed

None of this is my doing. I merely show the facts and retell what the prophets of old have said.

Mathew 10 36. And the enemies of a man will be they of his own house hold.

You and your family. Me and mine. The slavs Russia and Ukrainians.

A spirit of evil is poisoning us all. This spirit now has found a home in the Elites of America.

Michael Tracey is not a good guy. He is 3 sheets, fruit of the loom Bernie Bro. He is like stopped clock.

7,000+ Russians have died since the beginning of the current offensive. WNU can go Blackrock back home and clean up on real estate.

Speaking of real estate the goose steppers in the Biden regime have set up a colonia north of Houston for the "refugees". Said colonia will be run by the cartels. there will be lots of violence. Libtards and other morons will blame it on guns and not the criminal gangs.

Democrat politicians will court the cartels reps at the colonia like they court criminal gangs in the 10 largest cities now.

So America will be just like Russia with miles and miles of unpaved roads and oligarchs supported by criminal gangs.

"This illegal housing compound seems like it will make it much easier for illegals voting."

Colonia typically do not have paved roads.

"I’ve encouraged people to keep fighting. I’ve changed my mind on that. If you love your children, you need to flee California. You need to flee."

- State Senator Scott Wilk

"Lest you consider him a minor local politician, keep in mind that a California state senator represents far more people than a member of Congress: almost one million constituents."

Russia is SNAFU. Russia is losing in Ukraine. Russia might still be better than the US in 10 years.

You are relying on the Washington compost for your lie count or similar ilk.

So you are not to be taken seriously. You are a social fomite.
