Wow. Ukrainian blogger/filmmaker on what the "Polish incursions in Belarus" garbage could be about [View all]

I posted earlier today about Mike Flynn's aides apparently trying to create a story about nonexistent Polish incursions in Belarus:

Just ran across these tweets from Ukrainian author/blogger/filmmaker Thomas Theiner:




There NEVER were "Polish incursions in #Belarus". Only on obscure Russian neo-nazi conspiracy blogs can one find such bullshit. #FlynnFacts?






a) Either the @WhiteHouse staff reads #Russia|n neo-#nazi blogs or b) #Putin told this BS to #Trump in their call & White House swallowed it



Linked tweets starting with this:




#Poland is the only #EU country with a strong army & the only one capable to defeat a #Russia|n invasion of #Estonia #Latvia #Lithuania 1/4

BUT #Poland can only send its army into the Baltics if #Belarus doesn't allow #Russia|n troops to attack Poland from its territory. 2/4

So a #Russia|n lie about nonexistent "#Polish incursions in #Belarus" might be the first sign of a new #Russian propaganda drive to 3/4

justify the upcoming #Russia-#Belarus exercise "Zapad 17", which will train attacking #Poland, invading the #Baltics & nuking #Warsaw. 4/4


Then, in replies to the thread above and to someone asking "Nuking Warsaw?":

Putin had this nuclear attack on Warsaw trained that already twice.

Putin also had a a few training flights to train for nuking Stockholm.



I'm not familiar with Theiner, did some quick googling, saw him quoted in this Newsweek story on Ukraine two years ago:
