The current lie is that there is a threat of a new invasion. Not even Ukrainian leadership agrees with this, but it doesn't seem to affect planning in the United States.
Lesser of two evils applies when there is a dichotomy of two likely outcomes both of which you see as evil.
In this case, the United States can simply not invade. Then there will be no problem.
The problem is that Jen Psaki is going on television and telling the country a bold-faced lie. It is just a lie, that is all there is to it. Russia is not the aggressor. The United State is the aggressor.
Amazing. It's like you live in a parallel universe where the US, not Russia, is preparing to invade by amassing a hundred thousand troops, issuing insane ultimatums, dehumanizing the enemy daily on its propaganda outlets, etc.
"They invaded 8 years ago"
hm ok. Do you know what a US color revolution is?
