These last few days across the internet (social media, blogs etc) there has been a huge onslaught by people supporting and promoting Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. In which to try and colour the minds of those people who don’t know what the above bun fight is all about. Here are a few which I have taken the time to post the actual facts:
1) Moscow invaded because the US has bio labs in
the Ukraine
The above is currently a fav, and gained much publicity when
somebody tweet that the places the Russians bombed on the first day of the
attack corresponded to the places where these so called US Bio labs were. On
looking into the story, it transpires the stories have been going for years
(since 2014 after Moscow annexed the Crimea.) but of late it gained much
traction from the Chinese who promoted that COVID was designed by the US and
that the labs in the Ukraine were but one example of what Washington was
getting up to. So I looked into this and guess what lies. Its been debunked by
many fact checking sites, its been debunked by the US and Ukraine Government
and its also been debunked at the UN.
