A website founded by a former US Marine who now lives
in Russia has fuelled a rumour that Volodymyr Zelensky
purchased two luxury yachts with American aid money.

Despite the false claim, the disinformation plot was
successful. It took off online and was echoed by members
of the US Congress making crucial decisions about
military spending.

It was an incredible assertion - using two advisers as
proxies, Mr Zelensky paid $75m (£59m) for two yachts.

But not only has the Ukrainian government flatly denied
the story, the two ships in question have not even been sold.

Despite being false, the story reached members of the US
Congress, where leaders say any decision on further aid
to Ukraine will be delayed until next year.

. . .

Note that political "representatives" are still Ordinary
People. Deifying/empowering them does NOT make them smarter. .

In THIS case, Russia SCORED ! FakeNews influenced US
policy - to the advantage of Russia/Vlad and their
hateful and violent imperialist agenda.

Israel is a SMALL issue ... the REAL issue is RUSSIA
and its agenda.

Yea, CHINA has an agenda too, which also involves
imperialist motives (including eventually owning
Russia). But they are "tomorrow" ....

FIRST off Republicans, Joe (and handlers) are NOT
gonna back off much on their border/'immigrant'
policies. They have vested interests here, mostly
the delusion that they can create a new welfare-slave
class to replace 'blacks' (who seem to have finally
realized how they've been played all these years).

SO ... do not base Ukraine aid on 'border stuff',
it's NOT gonna work.

Money spent on Ukraine IS THE BEST MONEY WE'VE
EVER SPENT. They are GREAT proxy warriors and
we can do DEEP damage to Russia without risking
WW3 type stuff

SECOND ... DO see China maneuvering in the
background. At this point it is far more
powerful than Russia and INTO EVERYTHING.
It is the west's most formidable opponent
this century. Chinese motives are NOT good
and neither is Chinese power/influence.
China is a totalitarian state - and if you
think that's to YOUR advantage then you
are fatally deluded.
