When it first hit the news I was talking to a friend who works at US embassies and I cracked a joke about it. He got really offended and insisted he had really good evidence he couldn't share for security reasons that it was real.
A few months later he apologized.

How hard did you laugh? I wouldn't have been able to hold back
Not that hard. He did admit he was wrong after all.
I just found it delightful to have a concrete example of internet shitposts having a better understanding of geopolitics than state department briefings.

So now we know for sure that anyone who says this is telling a "My uncle works at Nintendo" tier lie. If you cant show us, theres no use bringing it up.

It's wild to me how long they held on to that one for, tbh
the real question is what sort of directed energy fuckery are the US testing that has caused this amount of anxiety amongst their own people

evidence is when i make accusations. declassified evidence is when i make accusations on TV.
jesus, it really was like 2003 and Ari Fleischer all over again. though the bush administration at least maintained "well there's also top secret evidence to support [our justification for being in a war on the other side of the planet], but we can't talk about it yet. when we do finally release it, you'll all apologize to us."
liberals who swallow this unchewed shit deserve deep and public humiliation.
I firmly believe that the "false flag" that they were expecting was going to be Ukraine's attack on Donetsk, which was flaring up with increased shelling that we saw getting seriously bad in the daily OSCE reports we were all watching at that time. They were expecting Ukraine to go in and they were getting ahead of it by spreading the idea that this would be a Russian false flag and pretense for Russian action.
This didn't happen because instead of waiting for Ukraine to do this action the Russians instead decided to get ahead of it entirely and just invade. They actually caught everyone with their pants down by doing so as well because everyone assumed Russia wanted a pretense before acting.
It was very 👁 when I read on here that the reason Russian troops were able to get so close to Kiyv in the initial assault was that Ukrainian forces were in an offensive position around the Donbas. Don't know if that's true, of course.
I remember when they said Russia might blow up a nuclear plant as a form of terrorism, so nothing is beyond the US really.
