Fake videos of Ukraine!

[Penelope]

• NBC News reporter Ben Collins who covers disinformation debunked a video of a parachuting soldier with over 20 million views on TikTok, where the top comment suggested he was "recording an invasion." The same video was posted in August 2015 by an Instagram account with the same username and what looks to be the same profile picture as the TikTok account. The original poster has since made his TikTok account private but videos by other accounts which include clips of the original video are still viewable, including one which has over 31,000 likes where the text overlaid on top of the original video implies the footage is of the ongoing conflict, with the individual expressing shock that they're "watching a war on TikTok." That shock would be understandable, except in this case, they aren't actually watching footage of war.

• Multiple videos have claimed to show Russian aircraft flying in formations over Kyiv, but a reverse image search of screenshots from the videos suggest it's footage from a flyover in Moscow ahead of a Russian holiday celebration. Clips from the posts also match a YouTube compilation of military planes entitled "Flyby Moscow (May 04, 2020)." The videos, which were initially fact-checked by USA Today, are now flagged as false information on Facebook. One of the videos was captioned "Russian Jets in the skies of Kiev," another "Russian planes are flying over the skies of #Kiev, the capital of Ukraine." Both videos had over 700 views.

• On Newsmax's "National Report" Thursday, host Shaun Kraisman said, "You're seeing some of that thermal imaging there just of tanks, troops on the ground as this is just getting underway." However, the video Newsmax aired is not of Ukraine but of Syria in 2020. Christiaan Triebert, who is part of The New York Times visual investigations team, noted on Twitter that the footage was a mirrored version of a 2020 video showing a Syrian convoy of tanks destroyed by UAVs. Newsmax cited the source of the video as "Ukrainian Armed Forces." Though a Twitter account with a similar name did share the footage on Thursday, the 2020 video was originally from the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and posted by Clash Report.

Anyone with military knowledge knows those aircraft in formation were not in a combat area. They don't fly in close, perfect formation in combat. I knew that the instant I saw the picture

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Yeah...we know...only trust you lying vipers.

Right mainstream media?

Fuckin maggots.

 

[harryo]

Gabe Lackmann Why are you so emotionally unstable?

Gabe Lackmann Why are you so emotionally unstable?

Because you're such a faggot Harry.

 

[harryo]

Gabe Lackmann that word is a slur. So you are a bigot, racist, etc

It's not a slur.

It's an apt descriptor.

I can literally see you blowing another man in my mind's eye.

 

[harryo]

Gabe Lackmann you are a bigot and a hypocrite = typical of the left, Dems, libs

Sounds like you got a "thing" for that.
Also, psychologically speaking, sounds like you are a very closeted homo......as again, psychologically speaking, severely closeted gays say things like this when belittling others.

Yeah.......but WHO facts check the fact checkers?
Many "fact checkers" online have been outed as fakes and phonies.

Of course there are those that will use any and all videos/stories/pictures they can find to back their innuendos, personal agendas, and personal opinions...but you can't believe the "fact checkers", as they also have their own agendas. You have to research it for yourself if you want the truth.

 

[Hellokitty]

LOL, democrats are back to blaming video's...

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Gabe Lackmann you are a bigot and a hypocrite = typical of the left, Dems, libs

Be quiet.

 

[Gabe Lackmann]

Sounds like you got a "thing" for that.
Also, psychologically speaking, sounds like you are a very closeted homo......as again, psychologically speaking, severely closeted gays say things like this when belittling others.

Why do people always state that?

So if I talk about cars a lot, I want to be a car?

I think people who have weak constitutions are bothered by words.

People like me know that.

 

[harryo]

Gabe Lackmann That's what hitler told the opposition. You act like a nazi, a lot

Seems all "fact checkers" have a strong left leaning bias

And the “Ghost of Kyiv” video (allegedly shooting down Russian jets) was from a flight simulator.
