Russia claims it found mass graves in Donbas Ukraine



This is the Russian disinformation that Putin is feeding to the people of Russia to help justify invasion. The claims are absurd.

As one commenter says in the YouTube comments, "Russia is like your crazy ex who just comes up with more and more batshit crazy stories ...Jesus if it wasn’t so serious it would be funny."

These are tactics our terrorists learned on their little junkets to Moscow in years past. We still see them used today.

The reason for invasion!

The Ukrainian mass graves are 'obviously' the result of some sort of genocide, 'no doubt' against Russian civilians.

I wrote that before watching the video . . . sure enough! I could have written that script, as I could write what happens next . . .

Next:

We have no choice!

God is on our side!

The good peoples of mother Russia will not stand for this outrage!

Revenge is needed!

Fire up the tanks!

Forward Ho!

"We have to defend Russian speakers in Ukraine!" (Line direct from the video.)

It would be interesting to know WHO was in the mass grave and from WHEN they were placed there. There are many mass graves in that area of my people (Jews) which have never been discovered. There are also mass graves from when the Russians were murdering Ukrainians back in the day. This all reeks of "well, we have to invade to protect the Russian natives." What is sad are the number of people supporting Putin and his network of lies.
