Putin says Ukraine responsible for March 3 power plant incident (Gaslighting Level 11)





https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-ukraine-responsible-march-3-power-plant-incident-kremlin-2022-03-06/


LONDON, March 6 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday accused Ukrainian radicals for an incident on March 3 at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, the Kremlin said.

French President Emmanuel Macron asked Putin by telephone about a fire at Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.

"Vladimir Putin informed [Macron] about the provocation by Ukrainian radicals in the area of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant," the Kremlin said. "The radiation levels are normal."

Putin also accused Ukraine of preventing civilians from leaving Mariupol.

*the end*

Hope Macron didn't hurt himself rolling his eyes.

10. The GOP seduced a large segment of the US with a promise of white christian minority rule.

They manipulated people by tapping into racism, hatred and fear.

In return this racist base will give the GOP permanent autocratic power and access to all US assets.

And Putin gave the GOP a lot of money, talking points and help getting GOP leaders "elected."

And unlimited wealth, by sucking out money from the US economy.

Just like Putin in Russia.

Russian disinformation is that the Ukrainians are actually bombing and killing themselves to make Russia look like the bad guy.

Ukraine is destroying itself.

This is pure toxic narcissistic personality disorder. They destroy everything around them and then blame everyone else. It is never their fault.

He is also a sociopath and they usually blame others for the crimes they themselves commit.

Sure sanctions hurt, but Putin knows the west is afraid to stop him by force. So he'll keep going.

Someone said that eventually we would know the truth, and we would be shocked. I think this pattern is starting to show up. I am just an average citizen, but damn! Doesn't it seem like this: that Russia (Putin) infiltrated the USA, actually got the puppet of his choice elected PRESIDENT, and destroyed one of the political parties by brainwashing? Or something?

I really think that this is what happened. tRump seems, every single day that is passing, and every single time he opens his ignorant mouth, more and more like the puppet of Putin. What is this crap Putin is spewing forth? Any person of average intelligence or better KNOWS that what he is saying is a lie. It is more than a lie! It is nonsense. Utter nonsense.

Putin is embarrassing himself. And, he sounds like Donald Trump! Or, did Donald Trump sound like Putin?

Where is the ICC? Why isn't Putin being indicted as a war criminal for invading a country, shooting at a nuclear plant, deliberately violating a ceasefire and shooting innocent, noncombatant civilians? Where is the Hague?

When I read about South Africa, their attitude, and how active Putin has been there, you can kind of see this shadowy shape of nefarious activity, probably world wide, where Putin is seeking power by corrupting the thinking of everybody. We are in this together, folks.
