BC, I want to address three falsehoods that the article mentioned (though I'm not sure if the author really believes them or is just reporting on them):

From Russia’s point of view, it will no longer be assisting the militia of independent republics with Russian regular units against attacks by Ukraine. It will now be defending Russian territory, against attacks by Ukraine.
Everyone in the whole world knows that the referen-dumbs are complete bullshit.

Too much to discuss here, but there is a good analogy between PooTin's referen-dumbs and the sham of a democracy that we tried to install in Afghanistan. Voters in Afghanistan weren't allowed to vote for the Taliban, even if they preferred them. The result, of course, were a bunch of corrupt officials who, quite frankly, turned out to be no different than U.S.-installed puppets.

It's a big reason why I don't believe in "nation-building" anymore.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said it was mobilizing 300,000 reservists and other soldiers with combat experience.
This is also a lie.

There are numerous reports of people with NO combat experience getting draft notices.

There are also numerous reports of anti-war protesters getting arrested, then, surprise surprise, getting drafted. Once again, they too don't have any combat experience.

Moreover, the talk within the circle of kleptocrats and their cucks in the media is that RuZZia isn't going to stop at 300,000. Instead, they want to draft a million people. Which isn't too far-fetched, given that current estimates of RuZZia's reserves is 2M, and given that RuZZia isn't limiting themselves to reservists.
Putin did not threaten offensive nuclear war as his remarks in the West are being spun, but warned Russia would defend its own territory with nuclear weapons if necessary.
Going in, falsely declaring conquered territory as your own, then claiming "self-defense," is ludicrous, especially when that territory isn't currently controlled by RuZZia.

This by definition is a threat of an OFFENSIVE nuclear war.

No one other than the PooTin cucks think that RuZZia is on the defense here. The only reason why PooTin wants to say that is to try and sell the war to the RuZZian public.

It's a lie that only survives when people want to believe it, or are forced to believe it.
