Agree, I thought from the very beginning that this was an orchestrated event, a false flag, so to speak. What I have seen in some photos from substacks regarding Ukraine that horrified me, to provide another data point, were the photos of the stacked up dead bodies of the Ukrainian soldiers. Horrible. Yet the MSM will not show any of this. And if you talk to people who only watch TV, they have no idea of the tremendous loss of life. The US is using our tax money to kill us and others overseas. Terrible.
