The US administration is still desperately pushing the narrative.

"US says Russia has added troops at border despite pullback claims"

But but- but I thought Russia was supposed to invade Ukraine yesterday?

As if we dont have enough indications that the US is intentionally trying to bungle this, Kamala Harris gets her Europe trip.

Ukraine has always been one country with Rossia! Do not let Imperial/Colonial news media propaganda confuse!

No. Ukraine was solidly part of the Ottoman Empire until late in the 18th Century. The Crimea bounced back and fourth between Ottoman and Tsarist control, and was an independent caliphate for a time. The Tartars who are the original inhabitants of the Crimea are Muslim and ethnically related closely to the Turks. They are not Russian and do not consider themselves so. Ukraine has been invaded by the Swedes and Poles at various times before those countries were beaten back by the Ottomans and in the case of the Swedes the Russians (the Swedes went to war against Russia amazingly). It would be 1790 before Russia wrested control of Crimea from the Ottomans. Russian control of Ukraine would come later. Please do not try to re-write history to fit a political narrative.

The Russian Defense Ministry released footage of a trainload of armored vehicles leaving Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Doesnt the above sentence directly contradict the one below it?

But NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the military alliance had not seen “any signs of de-escalation on the ground — no withdrawals of troops or equipment.”

NATO is simply stating that the Russians are lying about withdrawing troops. Moving some around, making a nice video of some equipment being loaded on rail cars but that is all for show. There is no large scale withdrawal going on regardless of what the Russians might claim and satellite imagery shows the Russian Army placed a pontoon bridge across a major river along a likely invasion route.

More blatant Russia-cheering from the US far-right. Why do they support Russia over their own country?

Putin has clearly infiltrated and manipulated the far-right masses...

He's clearly won over Tucker "Comrade" Carlson....

so just to educate you, it IS possible to criticize the US response while also not cheering for Russia.

its not binary, as liberals love to exclaim here.

it is also possible to speak the truth without supposedly "spouting Russian disinformation".

If not then lots of posters here spout White House or liberal media disinformation every day.

There are some in the US, a minority to be sure, who view Russia as this pure white Christian nation that suppresses gays and ethnic minorities and idolize that.

dear Jill

it seems that you wrote article about something you have no idea whatsoever.

russian invasion did not happened yesterday-as publicly trumpeted by white house and its corrupted media propaganda machine.we have been lied for months and years about whole situation there and this last lie have just confirmed it for 100%.

NATO and USA should not meddle in ukrainian internal affairs.

Ukraine should start to fulfill steps decided and greed in Minsk a years ago-its start to ACT and to STOP empty talks and propaganda.

as i wrote here everyday-obody normal in this world needs war.

Ukraine does want war and does not want be attacked by Russia,Russia same story...

Its time to switch off antirussian hate and propaganda,take seat around the table and discuss matter in details.

Its time for Zelensky take seat in his car go to Lugansk and Donetsk take seat around table with representatives of opolchenniki and found peaceful solution.he needs to be a man and show his balls.put his skin on market since he is president of all ukraine citizens.

Let people of Ukraine decide about their future as country with or even without Lugansk and Donetsk-its not up to opinion of US gunmaking lobby,whitehouse people or AP and other corrupetd fake news "media".

Use a hanbreak and let people breath fresh air again and dont meddel in something what is clearly NOT YOUR BUSINESS!

No, only a small part of southern Ukraine was. Don't mislead people.

what is my narrative?

Im talking about the Biden narrative of continuing to push the "tomorrow invasion".

I dont have any "narrative". Simply criticizing the US response with facts. The facts that there is no invasion and most likely wont be any.

You don't know? Interesting admission - I guess that's a start.

Im talking about the Biden narrative of continuing to push the "tomorrow invasion".

BINGO! Which is the same as Putin's narrative....

And your so-called facts come directly from Russia Today and Sputnik...

I said I’m talking about Biden narrative. You say:

BINGO! Which is the same as Putin's narrative.

so Biden’s narrative that I am talking about is Putin’s narrative too? Huh!?

I have bad news for you. It’s not only Sputnik and Russia today that are rightfully criticizing the US response.

If you'd have read the links, you'd know your and Putn's narrative are one and the same...

I have bad news for you. It’s not only Sputnik and Russia today that are rightfully criticizing the US response.

Read that sentence again and once more try to explain to us you're not a Putin cheerleader...

what is my narrative?

Yesterday you were swooning about how much of a "boss" Putin is, and today you cited a report that the US has intelligence that suggest Russia is lying about its troop build-up... in order to somehow prove that there is no troop build-up.

I know that your little god-king worshipped at Putin's alter, but you don't have to.

Readers, please keep the discussion civil.

I still don’t have a narrative. That’s just facts related to each situation.

putin was a “boss” no one dared to come sit next to him. The US is lying about “tomorrow’s invasion”.

both factual. No cheerleading necessary.

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

It’s a lazy argument that any criticism of the US foreign policy is Russian talking points and cheerleading or supporting Putin.

Russia Today and Sputnik likely says LA won the Super Bowl too. Didn’t they?

So what’s the deadline? If no invasion by March 1 you are all wrong? April 1? May?

I don't know if Russia will invade Ukraine. It's certainly a possibility, though.

I'm just not the guy saying, "well, the guy who is amassing forces at the border says he won't, and his puppet media agree, so I see no reason to doubt him".
