UK Column News - 23rd November 2022 - Ukraine: The fruits
- CNN: Boris Johnson claims France was "in denial" before Russia's invasion of Ukraine
- Clip: Johnson (purposely?) lets slip that Continental Europe had to be poked by Britain and America into the stop-Russia policy
- Footage of Rishi Sunak being welcomed by Zelensky in Kiev—Brian Gerrish spots Chief of the British Defence Staff, Admiral Tony Radakin in the receiving line
- BBC (26 February)—Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky: The comedian president who is rising to the moment
- Clip: Throwback to BBC’s "dripping enthusiasm" in promotional piece covering Zelensky's first war statement
- Brian Gerrish takes stock of what the BBC's favourite puppet president has achieved (using Ukrainian and mainstream international sources):
• At least 7 million Ukrainians have abandoned the country
• At least 5 million remaining Ukrainians are unemployed
• At least 50% of the Ukrainian electrical distribution system is destroyed
• 37–50% of the Ukrainian economy is destroyed
• At least $252 billion damage to Ukrainian infrastructure
• Circa 20% of Ukraine under Russian control
• At least 100,000 Ukrainian military deaths (implying around 600,000 injured)
• Failure to secure sufficient Western military supplies
• EU membership not achieved
• NATO membership not achieved
• Ukraine now controlled by Western "soft loans" to keep public finances afloat
• Ukrainian urban populations evacuating to find shelter, heat and food
And all the UK Ministry of Defence can do is issue lighters to those destined to die (see 21 November UK Column News episode)

- Associated Press, top-level purveyor of fake news, left with egg on face
- 21st Century Wire: AP fires reporter responsible for fake story alleging Russian missiles hit Poland
- Tweet by the fired journalist, James LaPorta, walked back his breathless reporting as soon as 16 November:
- Poland's president says the missile blast that killed two near the Ukrainian border appears to be an 'unfortunate accident,' not an 'intentional attack.' Three U.S. officials said preliminary assessments suggested it was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian one.
- LinkedIn profile: LaPorta is a former "intelligence cell chief" in the US Marine Corps!
- Semafor (a platform promoting transparency in mainstream media): AP fired a reporter after a dangerous blunder. Slack messages reveal a chaotic process
- Leaked internal messaging at Associated Press reveals the now infamous judgement call by Vanessa Gera of AP Poland:
- I can't imagine a US intelligence official would be wrong on this
- Patrick Henningsen analysis: The Slack messaging patently shows LaPorta to be the fall guy for seniors up to Ron Nixon, AP Vice-President
- Only at the end of the thread did LaPorta and colleagues wonder idly whether this obliged NATO to go to war with Russia. Henningsen: "They realise their job is to grind an axe for Washington on any story that comes up ... the mainstream media unquestioningly rinse and repeat what AP, AFP and Reuters feed them"
