For over two weeks, corporate media – the keyboard government plays on, has been beating the war drums to justify throwing Ukraine to the wolves when the US positions to justify a Ukraine-Russia conflagration.

Headlines and news broadcasts have been telling readers, listeners and viewers that the Russian armed forces are converging on Ukraine’s borders and are ‘becoming a threat to world peace’; just as were Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Iran, Muammar Ghaddafi etc.

Problem: The Ukrainian government has absolutely no data confirming any potential build-up of Russian forces on the nation’s borders, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s spokesman said on Sunday, calling such reports elements of (NATO West) propaganda.

The Ukrainian Defence Ministry does not confirm any of these allegations, the president’s spokesman, Sergey Nikiforov, told Ukraine’s Dom TV Channel, adding that the Russian troop concentration on Ukraine’s borders does not exceed an ’ordinary’ level.

Nikiforov also questioned the motives of the Western media, which have recently issued a series of claims pointing to supposedly ’concerning’ Russian troop movements not far from the Ukrainian borders.

‘It remains an open question, why the US media spread such misinformation and whether it is true,’ the spokesman said, adding that the president’s office ‘has no information to confirm the allegations.

The Washington Post, which like other media enjoys a direct link to the White House and the Pentagon war machine was one of the first to issue such a story as it said in late October that ’Russian troop movements near Ukraine border prompt concern in the US and Europe.’  Concern? No one thought to tell the government of Europe’s largest country?

Politico promptly followed suit in early November by publishing what it falsely called satellite images of ’new Russian military build-up near Ukraine.’

The images were allegedly demonstrating Russia’s armoured units and support equipment stationed near the Russian city of Yelnya, according to the outlet’s own words. PROBLEM: Yelnya, however, is located in Russia’s Smolensk Region, which borders Belarus and not Ukraine.

The reports also sparked criticism from the Russian Foreign Ministry as its spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, called them a fresh fake [news] campaign in the American media.

Watch out, Ukraine; NATO needs a central European battlefield and all the corpses that go with it. NATO is fully prepared to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian serviceman and woman.
