quote:

WASHINGTON — The United States has acquired intelligence about a Russian plan to fabricate a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine using a faked video that would build on recent disinformation campaigns, according to senior administration officials and others briefed on the material.

The plan — which the United States hopes to spoil by making public — involves staging and filming a fabricated attack by the Ukrainian military either on Russian territory or against Russian-speaking people in eastern Ukraine.

Russia, the officials said, intended to use the video to accuse Ukraine of genocide against Russian-speaking people. It would then use the outrage over the video to justify an attack or have separatist leaders in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine invite a Russian intervention.

Officials would not release any direct evidence of the Russian plan or how they learned of it, saying to do so would compromise their sources and methods. But both a recent Russian disinformation campaign focused on false accusations of genocide and the recent political actions being taken in the Russian parliament to recognize breakaway governments in Ukraine lent credence to the intelligence.

If carried out, the Russian operation would be an expansion of a propaganda theme that American intelligence officials and outside experts have said Moscow has been pushing on social media, on conspiracy sites and with state-controlled media since November.

The video was intended to be elaborate, officials said, with plans for graphic images of the staged, corpse-strewn aftermath of an explosion and footage of destroyed locations. They said the video was also set to include faked Ukrainian military equipment, Turkish-made drones and actors playing Russian-speaking mourners.

They have this video but no one can see it, we just have to trust them. Curious.

You'd think if they had this they would release it, given as they have as of yet released absolutely no evidence to support their claims at all. Yet, they wait for some unknown opportunity to release this video they totally have, almost like it doesn't exist and they know if they wait long enough everyone will forget like Saddam's imaginary WMDs.

There were a couple comically staged videos released by Russia during the 2014-2015 fighting. One of them was titled "Kiev Used Barrier Squads to Prevent Troops from Retreating" and was spammed all over for like a week. Someone in Russia is a SEO wizard because google started autofilling it on a fresh incognito client when you hit 'K', but the video itself was very silly

gotta say that while i find the critiques of it overblown (its essentially just the sort of jingoistic action war movie america used to make en masse like 20 years ago and we have no introspection because americans are loving dolts) the movie also wasn't very good ngl.

It was great for a war movie, actually.

Just thinking about the hand to hand combat scene in Lake Changjin compared to Saving Private Ryan - which was ultimately just a lesson about how you should always execute POWs.

that's not a bad thing but this isn't exactly Liberation. its just a dumb action movie roughly based on a war story, the type america used to release every summer.

it was like 3 hours of gory combat punctuated by like 30 seconds of some chinese guy saying "i hope our children wont have to experience war" before he kills 300 more americans by himself.

it had about the level of introspection as rambo 2 tbh.

Waiting patiently for the rebuttal about it actually synthesizes maoism or something. Its a fun action movie of the kind that the west really doesn't make anymore and its nice having different kinds of offerings than marvel slop.

I've been wanting to watch the first one. What's a site to watch Chinese movies at a decent quality with English subtitles? I haven't found many options for the majority of Chinese movies so I've only watched the handful that turn up on US streaming sites. They also don't ever turn up on usenet. Otherwise I sometimes stumble into them on Youtube but the quality sucks.
