Lies, Damn lies, and 865+ days of Information Warfare
Lies, Damn lies, and 865+ days of Information Warfare
A follow up to a follow up from April 2023, regarding the Russian SMO in Ukraine and news coverage surrounding it
This is a very brief follow-up to one of the subjects in a piece we did last year. In interest of current events in Kiev at a Children’s Hospital and the ongoing NATO Circlejerk and Participation Trophy ceremony 2024, I will consider this special reporting and combine the two as they overlap substantially.

Admitting hard truths is, well, sometimes not so hard. In aforementioned war reporting follow-up “Lies, Damn lies, and 400+ days of Information Warfare” we discussed Julian Röpcke from Bild, and his penchant for disclosing the painfully obvious to his compatriots and friends.
In this week’s edition of NAFO News, Julian admits two truths very loudly and almost in a depressed manner to his willfully ignorant friends on X/Twitter.
Russia’s target in Kiev was not a children’s hospital but was in fact a nearby Artyom munitions plant.
The “era of Ukrainian Air Defense is over”, as if such a thing were true to begin with.
Fun fact: the American-made AIM120 AMRAAM missiles and Russian-made X-101 missiles look nothing alike, and have substantially different payloads - doing different levels of damage.
Russian-speaking social media have already pointed this obvious notion out in a very funny manner, using still images from footage taken by Kiev residents who witnessed the event.
Do you know which is which? It could save a life.
(The editor said we needed more pictures because you folks love them, but not of Michael Eisner this time, he wasn’t a big draw - RS)
Stay tuned for more Counterspin: Lies, Damn lies and Spin! coverage of NATO Circlejerk 2024, with more of Jens Stoltenberg’s intellectual wigger.
Yeah, late breaking news and I hate to mention it but Biden said intellectual wigger. We all heard it, he said intellectual wigger because he has porridge made of holes for brains and he can’t speak so good no more, but at this point it just doesn’t matter. He meant vigor. Or rigor. Neither of which he has.
But He’s Fine, Jack, give him a break - enjoy the show. Give Ukraine another $80bn in SAMARAAM systems before Halloween and let’s give Jens an award for not punching him in the face after mentioning his wife. Good dog!
