https://www.thedailybeast.com/putins-declaration-of-war-on-ukraine-was-filmed-three-days-ago-says-russian-newspaper-novaya-gazetaVladimir Putins televised announcement of a special military operation against Ukraine, broadcast early Thursday morning, was filmed three days ago, according to Russias Novaya Gazeta. The newspaper, whose editor-in-chief shared last years Nobel Peace Prize, published on its Twitter feed what it said was metadata from the Kremlin website showing that the video was recorded on Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. Moscow time. Separately, the Russian-based Conflict Intelligence Team pointed out that Putin was wearing the exact same suit and tie in Thursdays broadcast as he wore when he announced that Russia was to recognize two breakaway regions in eastern Ukrainethe prelude to all-out war. In the same Twitter thread, the CIT team also claimed that a NOTAM no-fly noticed issued by Russian authorities overnight was dated Feb. 22. That could suggest that a mass invasion of Ukraine had been planned for February 22, but was delayed for reasons we do not know, it said.

(82,849 posts)2. Are they saying that Putin might be up to some shenanigans?
Because if he's being evasive and deceptive, cynically manipulating public perceptions, we should probably inform some House and Senate Republicans that Putin might be gaslighting them. Startling, I know!

They're too busy believing that Putin, a reanimated JFK jr., Trump, and Ted Nugent have to invade Ukraine to make Jesus come back and send all of the people who aren't white to hell.
