“Kyiv would have fallen in five hours if Putin’s tanks hadn’t gotten stuck in the mud,” Trump claimed.
Strange how that mud also burned down tanks, blew up fuel trucks, and stopped entire columns with Javelins and Molotovs.
Why not give credit to the Ukrainians who stood and fought back?

I’ve yet to see any evidence suggesting this post, delivered to 6.3 million followers, is true.
Instead, just a deluge of misleading posts, misattributed photos, and other fake news saturating the info space.
In my opinion, it’s worse than Russia-Ukraine.
