From War Propaganda to Ridiculous nonsense!

<US four-Star general tweets video game as real Ukraine war battle

An American mainstream “military analyst”, the four-star General Barry McCaffrey on Monday tweeted a sequence from a 2015 video game Arma 3 as the actual footage of Ukrainian forces downing a Russian aircraft.

It is quite surprising that the high-ranking military officer did not verify the content he chose to spread on his social media account since it is not the first time the pro-Ukraine faction has published video game footage as genuine Ukraine victories.

In fact, the Ukrainian government had previously released at least two video game clips for propaganda in recent months. In a short clip of the Arma 3 video game play, an imaginary Russian MiG-29 gets shot down by an air defense system.

“Russian aircraft getting nailed by UKR missile defense. Russians are losing large numbers of attack aircraft. UKR air defense becoming formidable,” McCaffrey announced on Twitter.

Faced with a deluge of mocking and incredulous comments, McCaffrey quickly deleted the embarrassing post. The fake footage did not stop CNN pro-Ukraine pundit Max Boot from retweeting it.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense had used Arma 3 video game footage before to claim non-existent victories.

Zelensky confirms Azovstal troops evacuation: «Ukraine needs Ukrainian heroes alive. This has been our principle»
Yep. “Evacuation” — to POW detainment centers. Their inventiveness in using the language is almost scary. I wonder what our brand new Minister of Truth may say.

This example above is the new WarSpeak. “Evacuation” means surrender. Capitulation is now power sharing. The Lib jargon that Normies don’t understand is WokeSpeak. Trying to exclude most of the world from a trade deal - is called Free Trade agreement. Same for most huge Government bills - if the name of the bill has the word “affordable” - it means you’re about to go broke.

Ukrainian forces say they have ended their "combat mission" in besieged Mariupol, as hundreds are evacuated from the Azovstal steel plant.
Some audience Comments from Alexander Mercouris utoob page:

Azovstal Surrenders as Russia Continues Offensive in Donbass


youtu.be

"
What a bold and ingenious victory, advancing deep into Russia in vehicles marked Z. Unarmed combat at its finest."

"The Phoenix Suns did not lose game 7. They successfully completed a strategic evacuation of the arena so they could regroup and stage a counter offensive against the Dallas Mavericks next season. Luka Doncic is peddling Russian disinformation. The Mavericks have not won."

"The valiant heroes of Ukraine, with the support of the Kiev administration, conducted a special operation, forcing the Russian army to accept their surrender. To do this, they professionally lost half of their limbs, which forced the Russian troops to provide them with medical assistance. Real heroes!...Keep up with good work comrades."
