RT notes Olympic invasion pattern

(after being shy up to now)

Ossetia, Crimea, now...?

Remember when folks tried to argue me down about how RT was supposedly a legitimate news source and not a not a blatant propaganda machine?

Fun times. https://t.co/Vhxroyvfie

In other troll news, there's Spicy Panda and friends:

With @nytimes, we identified a network of over 3,000 inauthentic-looking Twitter accounts that appeared to be coordinating to promote the Winter Olympics.

In one cartoon, @SpicyPandaAcc accused the US of wielding “its deceiving propaganda weapon to stain the Olympics.” pic.twitter.com/i6nRZhYCfr

White House NSC:

The U.S. has technical information linking Russian GRU to this week’s distributed denial of service attacks in Ukraine. Known GRU infrastructure has been noted transmitting high volumes of communications to Ukraine-based IP addresses and associated banking-related domains.
— National Security Council (@WHNSC) February 18, 2022

The United States staunchly supports Ukraine in defending its citizens from disruptive or destabilizing Russian cyber-attacks. We will continue to expose Russia’s activity and work with Allies and partners to hold Russia accountable for its actions in cyberspace.

Just Putin around - a new meme.

Next 72-120 hours critical?

I still don't understand what Putin thinks he gets out of this - a pretty big dent in his brand, even tho fanbois think he talks and can do no wrong. I doubt Ukraine nor Belarus will be impressed. Will see about his Russian populace stuck with all that propaganda.

Biden to reporters: “Every indication that we have is that they are prepared to go into Ukraine, attack Ukraine.”

Biden also said of an invasion, “My sense is it will happen within the next several days.”

Hope in Ukraine?

Not going to lie, if Russia was planning on a military escalation in the near future, you would expect to see greater operational security efforts being taken. These soldiers aren't making any effort to prevent the equipment from being seen or photographed. https://t.co/W7k2cwSSCF pic.twitter.com/tK5NoTm6aJ
