Cute use of the word "facts" for your talking points — and then pretending that opposing views and data are not.

High school debating team tactics.

US had designs on Ukraine for a decade. The "facts" are there with recorded phone calls and videos.

1. 2014!

2. 2016!

PS

Even the Washinton Post finds the Zelenskyy movie-style remark, however viral it went, about ammunition and not a ride, as unconfirmed.

Good militarist propaganda though - like "give me liberty or give me death". But actually it is more like "I'll be back." from The Terminator.

It fits him - an actor (comedian) (received an Oscar from Sean Penn) who was recorded practicing his president begging for money routine in 2016. Another "fact" in video form.

Your "facts":

If Russia had behaved like a civilised country . . .

My facts:

If the US had behaved like a civilized country and not a savage empire with military bases like cockroaches crawling all around the world over the last half century . . .
