Not as Concise as 'Nuts! But Every Bit as Appropriate

 Defiant Ukrainian border guards killed after telling Russian warship to ‘go f–k yourself’ [More]

The problem with that story is that it never happened. All government “soldiers” on that island surrendered, none were killed.

Got a link? Because I see the story repeated on every news site I check and don't see any retractions or corrections.

OK. I found Tass: https://tass.com/russia/1412053

That's Russian state media. I'll need to see this independently corroborated.

And yeah, I get that the DSM is no better.

I know full well that the propaganda is flying from both sides, however, I also know the history of Ukraine all the way back to the 1930s, and long before that. Back when the brothers, St. Cyril and St. Methodius brought Christianity to Ukraine and the Rus, including an Alphabet which they didn't have. That's why the Russian alphabet is called Cyrillics.

Thanks, posted an update, and see from my earlier Google News link that our own "real reporters" are slowly catching on...
